OpenTelemetry Context Zone Peer Dependency

This module provides Zone Context Manager with a peer dependency for zone-js for Web applications. If you use Angular you already have the zone-js and you should use this package. If you don't have your own zone-js please use @opentelemetry/context-zone

Installation

Please note that due to an issue with zone.js, the ZoneContextManager does not work with JS code targeting ES2017+. In order to use the ZoneContextManager, please transpile back to ES2015.

npm install --save @opentelemetry/context-zone-peer-dep

Usage

import { context, trace } from '@opentelemetry/api';
import { ConsoleSpanExporter, SimpleSpanProcessor } from '@opentelemetry/sdk-trace-base';
import { WebTracerProvider } from '@opentelemetry/sdk-trace-web';
import { ZoneContextManager } from '@opentelemetry/context-zone-peer-dep';

const providerWithZone = new WebTracerProvider();
providerWithZone.addSpanProcessor(new SimpleSpanProcessor(new ConsoleSpanExporter()));
providerWithZone.register({
  contextManager: new ZoneContextManager()
});

// Example how the ZoneContextManager keeps the reference to the correct context during async operations
const webTracerWithZone = providerWithZone.getTracer('default');
const span1 = webTracerWithZone.startSpan('foo1');
context.with(trace.setSpan(context.active(), span1, () => {
  console.log('Current span is span1', trace.getSpan(context.active()) === span1);
  setTimeout(() => {
    const span2 = webTracerWithZone.startSpan('foo2');
    console.log('Current span is span1', trace.getSpan(context.active()) === span1);
    context.with(trace.setSpan(context.active(), span2, () => {
      console.log('Current span is span2', trace.getSpan(context.active()) === span2);
      setTimeout(() => {
        console.log('Current span is span2', trace.getSpan(context.active()) === span2);
      }, 500);
    });
    // there is a timeout which still keeps span2 active
    console.log('Current span is span2', trace.getSpan(context.active()) === span2);
  }, 500);
  console.log('Current span is span1', trace.getSpan(context.active()) === span1);
});
