NodeKit is bundled with a few utility helpers that can be helpful.
Returns truy only if input string is equal to "1" or "true". Useful when dealing with values from ENV since they're always strings.
nodekit.utils.isTrueEnvValue(process.env.SOMETHING);Replaces content of some keys with a string [REDACTED]. By default works on keys authorization, cookie, set-cookie, password.
This list can be extended by application using appSensitiveKeys option. This function is pretty simple: it does not recursively walk object nor doing some advanced matching. It's a way to manually redact some exact sensitive data when you know that it's there. Internally it's used on all "extra" fields in logs and traces so objects like headers won't leak.
const inputDict = {cookie: 'abcdef123', anotherKey: 42};
const outputDict = nodekit.utils.redactSensitiveKeys(inputDict);
console.log(outputDict); // {cookie: '[REDACTED]', anotherKey: 42}When development mode is active, this function does not redact anything and just passes the input to the ouput.
