@appsignal/react

Installation

With npm or yarn

Add the @appsignal/react and @appsignal/javascript packages to your package.json. Then, run npm install/yarn install. You can also add these packages to your package.json on the command line:

yarn add @appsignal/javascript @appsignal/react
npm install @appsignal/javascript @appsignal/react

You can also use the React integration with React Native and Expo.

With JSPM.io import maps

Using the JSPM.io import map generator, you can generate an import map for your application’s dependencies. Add @appsignal/javascript and @appsignal/react to the dependencies list in the generator, then add the generated import map and ES module shims to your application’s code.

With `rails-importmap`

Use the following command to add these packages to your Rails application’s import maps:

./bin/importmap pin @appsignal/javascript @appsignal/react

Usage

You must pass the AppSignal client instance as the instance prop. In addition, the following props can optionally be passed to both the ErrorBoundary and LegacyBoundary components:

Prop name	Description
`action`	The action name for which to show errors reported by this boundary. We recommend using the name of the component.
`tags`	An object containing the tags to set for errors reported by this boundary.
`fallback`	A function that optionally takes the error as an argument, and returns a fallback component to use when rendering fails.
`override`	A function that takes the error span, and optionally the error itself, as arguments, and returns a modified span. Only called when an error is reported. Use it to set tags, params or breadcrumbs on the error sample.

When using tags, fallback or override, use useMemo (or useCallback for fallback and override) to memoize the values. This will prevent unnecessary re-renders.

Error Boundary

If you are using React v16 or higher, you can use the ErrorBoundary component to catch errors from anywhere in the child component tree.

import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import { appsignal } from "./appsignal";
import { ErrorBoundary } from "@appsignal/react";

const FallbackComponent = () => (
  <div>Uh oh! There was an error :(</div>
);

const App = () => (
  const tags = useMemo(() => ({ tag: "value" }), []);
  const fallback = useCallback((error) => <FallbackComponent />, []);
  const override = useCallback((span, error) => {
    span.setParams({ customParams: "123" });
    return span
  }, []);

  <ErrorBoundary
    instance={appsignal}
    action="App"
    tags={tags}
    override={override}
    fallback={fallback}
  >
    { /* Child components here */ }
  </ErrorBoundary>
);

ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById("root"));

Legacy Boundary

The API that this component uses is unstable at this point in React’s development. We offer this component as a means to support those running React v15, but do not guarantee its reliablity. You are encouraged to use the ErrorBoundary whenever possible.

The LegacyBoundary works in almost exactly the same way as the ErrorBoundary:

import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import { appsignal } from "./appsignal";
import { LegacyBoundary } from "@appsignal/react";

const FallbackComponent = () => (
  <div>Uh oh! There was an error :(</div>
);

const App = () => (
  const tags = useMemo(() => ({ tag: "value" }), []);
  const fallback = useCallback((error) => <FallbackComponent />, []);
  const override = useCallback((span, error) => {
    span.setParams({ customParams: "123" });
    return span
  }, []);

  <LegacyBoundary
    instance={appsignal}
    action="App"
    tags={tags}
    fallback={fallback}
    override={override}
  >
    { /* Child components here */ }
  </LegacyBoundary>
);

ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById("root"));
