# AppReports

Collects error reports from http capable apps over http-post requests. Reports
are stored in a postgresql database and can be viewed by accessing the server
using a browser.

## Installation

### Setting up the server

```bash
git clone https://git.scode.ovh/timo/appreports
cd appreports
npm i
```

### Setting up the database

run the following sql script:

```sql
-- create user and database
create database appreports;
create user appreports with encrypted password '12345';
grant all privileges on database appreports to appreports;
```

### Configuration

- make a copy of the template:

`cp config.template.json config.json`

- edit the config.json to your preferences

## Usage

### Starting the server

run the following command in the server folder

```bash
nodejs index.js
```

### Sending an error report

Example in js:

```js
const appClientId = 'abcdefg';

window.onerror = async function(msg, source, lineno, colno, error) {
  let data;
  if (error) {
    data = {
      app: 'app1',
      type: 'error',
      client: appClientId,
      message: msg,
      stack: error.stack,
      misc: `v: ${appVersion} src: ${source} ln: ${lineno} col: ${colno}`
    };
  } else {
    data = { app: 'app1', type: 'error', client: appClientId, message: msg };
  }
  /*
   * the first 4 characters of the client will be displayed as app
   * the remaining characters (up to 64) will be displayed as client
   */
  fetch('http://localhost:8080', {
    method: 'POST',
    body: JSON.stringify(data),
    mode: 'no-cors'
  });
};
```

to view the reports open http://localhost:8080 with a browser (in case of the
default config)
