Configuration options

identifyUser

Type: (event, context) => String identifyUser is a function that takes AWS lambda event and context objects as arguments and returns a userId. This helps us attribute requests to unique users. By default, Moesif will use event.session.user.userId

options.identifyUser = function (event, context) {
  // your code here, must return a string
  return event.requestContext.identity.cognitoIdentityId
}

getSessionToken

Type: (event, context) => String getSessionToken a function that takes AWS lambda event and context objects as arguments and returns a session token (i.e. such as an API key). By default, Moesif will use event.session.sessionId

options.getSessionToken = function (event, context) {
  // your code here, must return a string.
  return event.headers['Authorization'];
}

getTags

Type: (event, context) => String getTags is a function that takes AWS lambda event and context objects as arguments and returns a comma-separated string containing a list of tags. See Moesif documentation for full list of tags.

options.getTags = function (event, context) {
  // your code here. must return a comma-separated string.
  if (event.path.startsWith('/users') && event.httpMethod == 'GET'){
    return 'user'
  }
  return 'random_tag_1, random_tag2'
}

getApiVersion

Type: (event, context) => String getApiVersion is a function that takes AWS lambda event and context objects as arguments and returns a string to tag requests with a specific version of your API. By default, Moesif will use event.version

options.getApiVersion = function (event, context) {
  // your code here. must return a string.
  return '1.0.5'
}

skip

Type: (event, context) => Boolean skip is a function that takes AWS lambda event and context objects as arguments and returns true if the event should be skipped (i.e. not logged)
The default is shown below and skips requests to the root path "/".

options.skip = function (event, context) {
  // your code here. must return a boolean.
  if (event.path === '/') {
    // Skip probes to home page.
    return true;
  }
  return false
}

maskContent

Type: MoesifEventModel => MoesifEventModel maskContent is a function that takes the final Moesif event model (rather than the AWS lambda event/context objects) as an argument before being sent to Moesif. With maskContent, you can make modifications to headers or body such as removing certain header or body fields.

options.maskContent = function(moesifEvent) {
  // remove any field that you don't want to be sent to Moesif.
  return moesifEvent;
}

updateUser method

A method is attached to the moesif middleware object to update the users profile or metadata.

'use strict'
const moesif = require('moesif-alexa-skills');
 
const moesifOptions = {
    applicationId: 'Your Moesif application_id',
 
};
var moesifMiddleware = moesif(options);
var user = {
  userId: 'your user id',  // required.
  metadata: {
    email: 'user@email.com',
    name: 'George'
  }
}
 
moesifMiddleware.updateUser(user, callback);
 

The metadata field can be any custom data you want to set on the user. The userId field is required.
