[Node.js] Identify memory leaks with nodejs-dashboard-优快云博客

本文介绍如何在Node.js应用中引入并检测内存泄漏。通过使用'gc-profiler'和nodejs-dashboard，可以有效监控垃圾回收过程，并在控制台显示垃圾回收统计信息，帮助定位内存泄漏问题。

In this lesson, I introduce a memory leak into our node.js application and show you how to identify it using the Formidable nodejs-dashboard. Once identified, we will add garbage collection stats to the error console allowing us to correlate garbage collection with the increased memory usage.

Install:

npm i -D gc-profiler nodejs-dashboard

let express = require('express');
let router = express.Router();
let faker = require('faker');
let words = [];
let profiler = require('gc-profiler');

profiler.on('gc', (info) => {
    console.error(info);
});

router.get('/', function(req, res, next) {
    let num = Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000) + 1;
    let searchterm = faker.lorem.words(num);
    let arr = searchterm.split(' ');
    arr.forEach(word => {
        words.push(word); // cause memory leak
    });
    console.log(`Generating ${num} words`);
    res.send(searchterm);
});

module.exports = router;
