Zipkin instrumentation for vue-resource 
What?
An interceptor for vue-resource that instruments outgoing HTTP requests with Zipkin.
Why?
Sometimes tracing of your backend components is not enough, so you need to do some tracing on frontend side (part of End User Monitoring). This package helps to solve that problem for VueJS with Zipkin.
How?
... to install
npm install --save zipkin-instrumentation-vue-resource
... to add an interceptor
What you need to do is to initialise Zipkin Tracer, because the interceptor does not provide any default for that at the moment.
main.js may contain initialisation logic and may look like this:
// these imports are zipkin-specific// and here the interceptor is imported const serviceName = 'myfancywebsite' // this Tracer communicates to Zipkin through HTTP protocolconst tracer = ctxImpl: recorder: logger: // take a look endpoint: windowlocationprotocol + '//' + windowlocationhost + '/zipkin' jsonEncoder: jsonEncoderJSON_V2 localServiceName: serviceName // and here is how the interceptor is created and added to vue-resource's chainconst interceptor = Vuehttpinterceptors... to send data to Zipkin
Your application can communicate to Zipkin through HTTP, you can do that using Webpack's proxy table. proxyTable in config/index.js may look like this:
proxyTable: '/zipkin': target: processenvZIPKIN_ADDRESS || 'http://127.0.0.1:9411/api/v2/spans' pathRewrite: '^/zipkin': '' secure: false The piece of configuration above redirects all requests to /zipkin path (exactly what the interceptor uses in example above) to your actual Zipkin server running on 127.0.0.1:9411.
