Support of arrow functions and methods

Arrow functions which have been introduced in typescript following ES6 standard (also known as ES2015) are supported. Since arrow functions are equivalent to standard functions, the same function objects are created by the analyzer for both standard functions and arrow functions. Arrow functions can also define methods in which case method objects are created by the analyzer. Examples of arrow functions and methods are provided in the Objects section of this documentation.

Support of anonymous functions

For anonymous functions, the analyzer creates function objects named <Anonymous$i> where $i is incremented such that each anonymous function object has a unique fullname.

Web Services

XMLHttpRequest

The analysis of the following code will create a TypeScript GET http service named "foo/url" and a callLink between my_func function and that service :

fetch

The analysis of the following code will create a TypeScript POST http service named "foo/url" and a callLink between my_func function and that service :

function my_func(){
  const response = await fetch('foo/path', {
    method: 'POST'
  })
}

Window variable

The JavaScript window variable can be used to pass values such as urls. The windows variable is accessible from all modules. So when analyzing the following modules:

window.myurl = "foo/url/"

function my_func(){

  var xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
  xhttp.open("GET", window['myurl'], false);
  xhttp.send();

}

a webservice object is created with the url set through the window variable: 

aws-xray encapsulates AWS methods calls in order to provide status and load status. However, the encapsulation did not allow the extension to provide objects and links. With the support of AWS XRay starting in 2.6.0-beta4, these objects and links will be created.

Code samples

This code will encapsulate AWS SDK then create a dynamoDB instance, and a Table instance.

import AWSXRay from 'aws-xray-sdk-core'
import AWS from 'aws-sdk'
const AWS = AWSXRay.captureAWS(AWS) // Encapsulate AWS SDK
const DDB = new AWS.DynamoDB({ apiVersion: "2012-10-08" }) // use AWS as usual
const { v1: uuidv1 } = require('uuid');
 
// environment variables
const { TABLE_NAME, ENDPOINT_OVERRIDE, REGION } = process.env
const options = { region: REGION }
AWS.config.update({ region: REGION })
 
if (ENDPOINT_OVERRIDE !== "") {
    options.endpoint = ENDPOINT_OVERRIDE
}
 
const docClient = new AWS.DynamoDB.DocumentClient(options)
// response helper
const response = (statusCode, body, additionalHeaders) => ({
    statusCode,
    body: JSON.stringify(body),
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*', ...additionalHeaders },
})
 

 
function addRecord(event) {
 
    let usernameField = {
        "cognito-username": getCognitoUsername(event)
    }
 
    // auto generated date fields
    let d = new Date()
    let dISO = d.toISOString()
    let auto_fields = {
        "id": uuidv1(),
        "creation_date": dISO,
        "lastupdate_date": dISO
    }
 
    //merge the json objects
    let item_body = {...usernameField, ...auto_fields, ...JSON.parse(event.body) }
 
    console.log(item_body);
     
    //final params to DynamoDB
    const params = {
        TableName: TABLE_NAME,
        Item: item_body
    }
 
    return docClient.put(params)
}
