Supply Chain Attack on Axios Pulls Malicious Dependency from npm
A supply chain attack on Axios introduced a malicious dependency, plain-crypto-js@4.2.1, published minutes earlier and absent from the project’s GitHub releases.
If you need to write something in very high frequency and you want to reduce system load or network connections, this is the best utility for you.
npm i --save datawriter
new DataWriter(maxBufferSize, maxCacheAge, batchWriteFunction, errorHandler);
maxBufferSize is the max data rows cached in DataWriter. If the cached data rows grows bigger than this value, an batch write call will be triggered.
maxCacheAge a max cache time in milliseconds. Once a write() command is called, a batch write call will be triggered after this time delay.
batchWriteFunction the function you provide to do a batch writing operation.
errorHandler the global error handler.
dataWriteInstance.write(...args);
The write command call. args will be treated as a data row. So you can pass any parameters. Please notice the write command will not trigger any error. The error occured in the batchWriteFunction, will be caught by the errorHandler function.
const DataWriter = require('datawriter');
const fs = require('fs');
let writer = new DataWriter(10, 1000, async arr => {
console.log('batch write', arr.length, 'rows');
fs.appendFileSync('a.log', arr.map(params => JSON.stringify(params)).join('\n') + '\n');
}, function(err) {
console.log('onError', err);
});
writer.write(1);
writer.write('a');
writer.write(1, 2, 3);
writer.write({a: 'A'}, 'nice', [1, 2, 4]);
/*
a.log content will be:
[1]
["a"]
[1,2,3]
[{"a":"A"},"nice",[1,2,4]]
*/
