@niondigital/sentry-util

Provides basic sentry integration for Node and Browser based projects and includes Typescript type declarations.

Usage

Set the following environment variables in Node or the browser (via webpack):

Variable	Purpose
SENTRY_ENABLED	Used by default beforeSend() function if no custom beforeSend function is provided. Set to true|1 / false|0 to enable/disable reporting errors to Sentry
SENTRY_DSN	DSN as found in your Sentry settings
SENTRY_ENVIRONMENT	Environment identifier to use when reporting errors. Can be overriden in browser context by providing parameter environment to initSentry() in case your environment cannot or should not be hardcoded in to the application source
SENTRY_RELEASE	set to the release name to report to sentry when capturing errors. When not set, the Node implementation will use ${process.env.npm_package_name}@${process.env.npm_package_version as a default.

Browsers

In your main.js

import Sentry, { initSentry } from '@madebyheyday/sentry-util/browser';

initSentry({ environment: 'production' });
// optionally provide a custom beforeSend function to filter captured errors
initSentry({ environment: 'production', beforeSend: (error: Error): Error | null => error });

// optionally use Sentry instance to allow setting extras, breadcrumbs, ...
Sentry.setExtra('userAuthenticated', false);

Anywhere you wish to capture errors

import Sentry, { captureAndLogError } from '@madebyheyday/sentry-util/browser';

// optionally use Sentry instance to allow setting extras, breadcrumbs, ...
Sentry.addBreadcrumb({
	level: Sentry.Severity.Debug,
	message: `User logged in`
});

// use captureAndLogError() as an error handler for promises or try/catch blocks
anyPromise.catch(captureAndLogError);

try {
	throw new Error('test')
} catch (error) {
	captureAndLogError(error);
}

Node

Set process.env.SENTRY_ENVIRONMENT to the desired environment specifier to use when reporting errors.

import Sentry, { initSentry, captureAndLogError } from '@madebyheyday/sentry-util/node';

// initialize sentry
initSentry();
// optionally provide custom options, e.g. a  beforeSend function to filter captured errors
initSentry({ beforeSend: (error: Error): Error | null => error });


// in browsers, the default global handler may be disabled where required
initSentry({ 
    integrations: [
        new Sentry.Integrations.GlobalHandlers({
            onerror: false,
            onunhandledrejection: false
        })
    ]
});

// package exports Sentry instance to allow setting extras, breadcrumbs, ...
Sentry.setExtra('userAuthenticated', false);



// then use captureAndLogError() as an error handler for promises or try/catch blocks
anyPromise.catch(captureAndLogError);

try {
	throw new Error('test')
} catch (error) {
	captureAndLogError(error);
}
