npm package: @heroku/js-blanket
Description: Framework-agnostic sensitive data scrubbing library for error monitoring and logging
Author: Heroku
Latest version: 1.0.0

# Heroku JS Blanket

A framework-agnostic sensitive data scrubbing library for logging, exception
handling, and monitoring services for NodeJS and JavaScript projects. If you
need to remove PII from structured data, JS Blanket has you covered.

This project provides a core scrubbing engine with preset field lists for common
PII patterns, making it easy to integrate with any logging or error monitoring
service.

## Features

- **Deep Object Traversal**: Handles nested objects, arrays, and circular
  references safely
- **Multiple Scrubbing Modes**: Field-based, path-based, and pattern-based
  scrubbing
- **Immutable Operations**: Never modifies input data - always returns new
  objects
- **Preset Field Lists**: Battle-tested PII patterns (HEROKU_FIELDS,
  GDPR_FIELDS, PCI_FIELDS)

## Quick Start

### Installation

```bash
# npm
npm install @heroku/js-blanket

# pnpm
pnpm add @heroku/js-blanket

# yarn
yarn add @heroku/js-blanket
```

### Usage Examples

Framework-specific examples
[here](https://github.com/heroku/js-blanket/tree/main/docs/examples).

## Core Scrubber API

The `Scrubber` class provides flexible PII scrubbing with three modes:

### Field-Based Scrubbing

Scrubs values based on field names (exact match or regex):

```typescript
import { Scrubber } from '@heroku/js-blanket';

const scrubber = new Scrubber({
  fields: ['password', 'apiToken', /.*_token$/i],
  replacement: '[REDACTED]',
});

const data = {
  user: 'john',
  password: 'secret123',
  oauth_token: 'abc-def-ghi',
};

const result = scrubber.scrub(data);
// Result: { user: 'john', password: '[REDACTED]', oauth_token: '[REDACTED]' }
```

### Path-Based Scrubbing

Scrubs values at specific paths using dot notation:

```typescript
const scrubber = new Scrubber({
  paths: ['user.email', 'user.profile.ssn'],
});

const data = {
  user: {
    name: 'John',
    email: 'john@example.com',
    profile: { ssn: '123-45-6789' },
  },
};

const result = scrubber.scrub(data);
// Result: { user: { name: 'John', email: '[SCRUBBED]', profile: { ssn: '[SCRUBBED]' } } }
```

### Pattern-Based Scrubbing

Scrubs content matching regex patterns:

```typescript
const scrubber = new Scrubber({
  patterns: [
    /\b[\w._%+-]+@[\w.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,}\b/g, // Email addresses
    /\b\d{3}-\d{2}-\d{4}\b/g, // SSN patterns
    /\b\d{13,19}\b/g, // Credit card numbers
  ],
});

const data = {
  message: 'Contact john@example.com or call 123-45-6789',
};

const result = scrubber.scrub(data);
// Result: { message: 'Contact [SCRUBBED] or call [SCRUBBED]' }
```

## Preset Field Lists

Use battle-tested preset field lists for common PII patterns:

```typescript
import { HEROKU_FIELDS, GDPR_FIELDS, PCI_FIELDS } from '@heroku/js-blanket';

// Heroku-specific sensitive fields
const scrubber = new Scrubber({
  fields: HEROKU_FIELDS, // heroku_oauth_token, sudo_oauth_token, www-sso-session, etc.
});

// GDPR compliance fields
const gdprScrubber = new Scrubber({
  fields: GDPR_FIELDS, // email, ip_address, phone_number, ssn, date_of_birth, etc.
});

// PCI compliance fields
const pciScrubber = new Scrubber({
  fields: PCI_FIELDS, // credit_card, cvv, card_number, expiration_date, etc.
});

// Combine multiple presets
const scrubber = new Scrubber({
  fields: [...HEROKU_FIELDS, ...GDPR_FIELDS, ...PCI_FIELDS],
});
```

## Code Quality and Testing

This project uses pnpm for package management and includes comprehensive code
quality tools to maintain high standards.

### Available Scripts

A list of useful scripts when developing against the codebase:

```bash
# All code quality checks and tests
pnpm check

# Run the full test suite with coverage reporting
pnpm test

# Check code quality with ESLint
pnpm lint

# Automatically fix linting issues and format code with Prettier
pnpm format

# Run TypeScript type checking
pnpm type-check

# Run the continuous integration checks (linting, type checking, and tests)
pnpm ci
```

## Development Workflow

For the best development experience:

1. **Before starting work**: Ensure dependencies are installed with
   `pnpm install`.
2. **During development**: Run `pnpm type-check` periodically to catch type
   errors early.
3. **Before committing**: Run `pnpm check` to ensure all quality standards are
   met.
4. **Fix issues quickly**: Use `pnpm format` to auto-fix formatting and linting
   issues.

### Testing Requirements

Tests are located in `src/**/*.test.ts` and run against the compiled JavaScript
in `dist/`. The test suite includes:

- Unit tests for all public APIs
- Type safety validation tests
- Coverage reporting with c8 (HTML and text-summary)

Tests automatically run in silent mode (`LOG_LEVEL=silent`) to keep output
clean.

### Build Outputs

The library produces dual builds for maximum compatibility:

- **CommonJS** (`dist/cjs/`): Use for Node.js and older bundlers
- **ES Modules** (`dist/esm/`): Use for modern bundlers and tree-shaking support

Both outputs include TypeScript declaration files (`.d.ts`) for type
information.
