Quick Examples

var config = require('bedrock').config;
var eventLog = require('bedrock-event-log').log;

config['event-log'].eventTypes.MyEvent = {
  index: 'itemCategory', // (optional) specify an event property name to use as an index
  ensureWriteSuccess: true  // when false, database operations are performed without waiting for a callback
};

eventLog.add({
  type: 'MyEvent', // MUST correspond to a defined event type
  date: new Date().toJSON(),
  itemCategory: 'itemCategory1234',
  resource: 'https://example.com/item/12345',
  actor: 'user1234'
