Advanced options
When initializing Checkpoint library, there is an optional parameter that can be passed to configure some extra behavior of the library.
The type definition for the option object is:
export interface CheckpointOptions {
// Set the log output levels for checkpoint. Defaults to Error.
logLevel?: LogLevel;
// optionally format logs to pretty output.
// will require installing pino-pretty. Not recommended for production.
prettifyLogs?: boolean;
// Optional database connection string. For now only accepts mysql database
// connection string. If no provided will default to looking up a value in
// the DATABASE_URL environment.
dbConnection?: string;
// Configuration for decimal types
// defaults to Decimal(10, 2), BigDecimal(20, 8)
decimalTypes?: { [key: string]: { p: number; d: number } };
}
This option can be provided as the final argument to the Checkpoint constructor like this:
import Checkpoint, { LogLevel } from '@snapshot-labs/checkpoint';
const checkpoint = new Checkpoint(..., {
logLevel: LogLevel.Info;
})
See more about the configuration options below.
By default, when a
Checkpoint object is started, it looks up the DATABASE_URL environment variable, but with dbConnection option parameter, you can specify a different connection string within the codebase itself and this value will override the DATABASE_URL value in the environment when connecting to the database.There are six (6) log levels currently supported by Checkpoint, these are:
// LogLevel to control what levels of logs are output.
export enum LogLevel {
// silent to disable all logging
Silent = 'silent',
// fatal to log unrecoverable errors
Fatal = 'fatal',
// error to log general errors
Error = 'error',
// warn to log alerts or notices
Warn = 'warn',
// info to log useful information
Info = 'info',
// debug to log debug and trace information
Debug = 'debug'
}
In a non-production environment, you can set the
prettifyLogs option to true and this will output a pretty versionLast modified 5mo ago
