koa-simple-healthcheck

simple healthcheck middleware for koa. inspred by express-healthcheck.

Installation

npm install koa-simple-healthcheck

Usage

app.use(require('koa-simple-healthcheck')());

This will respond with a JSON payload of { "uptime": [uptime in seconds] } and a 200 status code.

The healthy response can be customised by passing in a custom healthy method.

app.use(require('koa-simple-healthcheck')({
    healthy: function () {
        return { everything: 'is ok' };
    }
}));

To use a different route, you can set it with a path property.

app.use(require('koa-simple-healthcheck')({
    path: '/ping',
    healthy: function () {
        return { everything: 'is ok' };
    },
}))

You can optionally provide a test method which will be executed to establish the health of the application.

This function can either throw, return an error, or call a callback with an error. Functions with an arity of 0 will expect a return, functions with an arity of 1 will expect a callback.

app.use(require('koa-simple-healthcheck')({
    test: function () {
        throw new Error('Application is not running');
    }
}));

app.use(require('koa-simple-healthcheck')({
    test: function () {
        return { state: 'unhealthy' };
    }
}));

app.use(require('koa-simple-healthcheck')({
    test: function (callback) {
        callback({ state: 'unhealthy' });
    }
}));
