What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the challenge of tracking requests and understanding their flow through complex, asynchronous Node.js applications, especially in distributed systems.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Async Context Preservation: Uses AsyncLocalStorage to maintain a unique correlation ID across asynchronous operations.
  • Automatic Propagation: Seamlessly injects the correlation ID into HTTP request headers for outgoing requests (e.g., via Axios or Fetch).
  • Logging Integration: Ensures every log message includes the correlation ID, enabling easy debugging and tracing.
  • Use Case: When a user makes a request to your API, a unique ID is generated and attached to all subsequent logs, database queries, and outgoing service calls related to that request. If an error occurs, you can instantly find all related logs using this ID.

Quick Start

Integrate the correlation ID middleware into your Express.js application by adding app.use(correlationIdMiddleware); as the first middleware.
