var os = require("os");

//Create function to get CPU information
function cpuAverage() {

  //Initialise sum of idle and time of cores and fetch CPU info
  var totalIdle = 0, totalTick = 0;
  var cpus = os.cpus();

  //Loop through CPU cores

Promise Error Handling Hooks

Problem

A common desire in web programming is to log any uncaught exceptions back to the server. The typical method for doing this is

window.onerror = (message, url, line, column, error) => {
  // log `error` back to the server
};

Possibly Unhandled Rejection NodeJS Promise Hook

###Unhandled Rejection Tracking

Several promise libraries such as bluebird and when as well as some native promise implementations offer potentially unhandled rejection tracking. This means that the following:

Promise.reject(new Error("err")); // never attach a `catch`

Post Mortem Debugging in NodeJS in the Light of Promises

Context:

we're discussing how we can safely abort on unhandled rejections and obtain meaningful debugging information. Related reading: https://gist.github.com/misterdjules/2969aa1b5e6440a7e401#file-post-mortem-debugging-with-promises-md.

Part 1: Why bubbling is good

We start with the following code

function startListening(server, cb) {
  server.listen(99999, 'localhost', cb)
}
