X-ray for Node.js

Node.js HTTP adapter for Stainless X-ray request logging. Use this for node:http servers or to power framework integrations (Express/Fastify).

Install

pnpm add @stainlessdev/xray-emitter

Basic usage (node:http)

import { createServer } from 'node:http';
import { createEmitter, wrapHttpHandler } from '@stainlessdev/xray-emitter/node';

const xray = createEmitter({ serviceName: 'my-service' });

const server = createServer(
  wrapHttpHandler((_req, res) => {
    res.statusCode = 200;
    res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain');
    res.end('ok');
  }, xray),
);

server.listen(3000);

Access the X-ray context

import { getXrayContext } from '@stainlessdev/xray-emitter/node';

const handler = wrapHttpHandler((req, res) => {
  const ctx = getXrayContext(req);
  ctx?.setActor('tenant-123', 'user-123');
  res.end('ok');
}, xray);

Request IDs and response headers

X-ray will auto-generate a request ID and inject it into your response headers under the configured name (requestId.header, default request-id, emitted as Request-Id) if the header is missing. If you set your own request ID first (via options.requestId or by setting the response header yourself), X-ray preserves it and does not overwrite the header.

Configuration

createEmitter(config) accepts XrayRuntimeConfig:

  • serviceName (required)
  • endpointUrl (required; falls back to STAINLESS_XRAY_ENDPOINT_URL when omitted; explicit endpointUrl wins)
  • environment, version, logger, logLevel
  • exporter: endpointUrl, headers, timeoutMs, spanProcessor, instance (custom SpanExporter)
  • capture: request/response headers and bodies
  • redaction: headers/query/body JSON-path redaction
  • requestId: header name to read/write
  • route: normalization options

Adapter options (WrapOptions)

wrapHttpHandler(handler, xray, options) and createEmitter(config, options?) share:

  • route: override the route name for the request
  • requestId: explicit request ID to use (prevents auto-generation)
  • capture: per-request capture overrides
  • redaction: per-request redaction overrides
  • onRequest(ctx), onResponse(ctx, log), onError(ctx, err) hooks

Notes

  • This package depends on OpenTelemetry packages as peer dependencies.
  • Node.js >= 20 is required.
