Crash and error reporting built for busy developers.

🗺️ source-mapper

source-mapper is a utility for translating function names, file names and line numbers in uglified JavaScript Error stack frames to the corresponding values in the original source. source-mapper is distributed as both a package and a library and is used by the BugSplat backend to deliver crash reporting as a service for JavaScript and TypeScript applications.

The following is an example JavaScript Error stack converted to its TypeScript equivalent using source-mapper:

Error: BugSplat rocks!
    at crash (/Users/bobby/Desktop/bugsplat/source-mapper/dist/bin/cmd.js:16:11)
    at /Users/bobby/Desktop/bugsplat/source-mapper/dist/bin/cmd.js:6:9
    at Object.<anonymous> (/Users/bobby/Desktop/bugsplat/source-mapper/dist/bin/cmd.js:14:3)
Error: BugSplat rocks!
    at crash (../../bin/cmd.ts:15:10)
    at <unknown> (../../bin/cmd.ts:5:8)

🖥 Command Line

  1. Install this package globally npm i -g @bugsplat/source-mapper
  2. Run source-mapper -h to see the latest usage information:
bobby@BugSplat % ~ % source-mapper -h

    @bugsplat/source-mapper contains a command line utility and set of libraries to help you demangle JavaScript stack frames.

    source-mapper command line usage:

        source-mapper [ [ "/source-map-directory" OR "/source.js.map" ] [ "/stack-trace.txt" ] ]
    
    * Optionally provide either a path to a directory containing source maps or a .map.js file - Defaults to the current directory
    * Optionally provide a path to a .txt file containing a JavaScript Error stack trace - Defaults to the value in the clipboard

  1. Run source-mapper and optionally specify a path to a directory containing .js.map files, path to a single .js.map file, and a path to a .txt file containing a stringified JavaScript Error. If no options are provided source-mapper will default to looking in the current directory for source maps and attempt to read the stringified JavaScript error stack from the system clipboard.

🧩 API

  1. Install this package locally npm i @bugsplat/source-mapper
  2. Import SourceMapper from @bugsplat/source-mapper
import { SourceMapper } from '@bugsplat/source-mapper';
  1. Create a new instance of SourceMapper passing it an array of paths to source map files. You can also await the static factory function createFromDirectory(directory: string): Promise<SourceMapper> which takes a path to a directory and creates a new SourceMapper with an array of source map file paths it finds in the specified directory
const mapper = new SourceMapper(sourceMapFilePaths);
const mapper = await SourceMapper.createFromDirectory(directory);
  1. Await the call to convert passing it the stack property from a JavaScript Error object
const result = await mapper.convert(error.stack);

Thanks for using BugSplat!
