What are @bugsnag/browser's main functionalities?

Error Reporting

This feature allows you to capture and report errors that occur in your application. By initializing the Bugsnag client with your API key, you can use the `notify` method to send error reports to Bugsnag.

const bugsnagClient = bugsnag('YOUR_API_KEY');

try {
  // Code that may throw an error
} catch (e) {
  bugsnagClient.notify(e);
}

Breadcrumbs

Breadcrumbs are a way to log events leading up to an error, providing context that can help diagnose the issue. This feature allows you to leave breadcrumbs that will be included in error reports.

const bugsnagClient = bugsnag('YOUR_API_KEY');

bugsnagClient.leaveBreadcrumb('User clicked on button', { buttonId: 'submit' });

User Information

This feature allows you to attach user information to error reports, making it easier to identify and address issues affecting specific users.

const bugsnagClient = bugsnag('YOUR_API_KEY');

bugsnagClient.setUser('12345', '[e-mail]', 'John Doe');

Custom Metadata

Custom metadata allows you to include additional contextual information in your error reports. This can be useful for debugging and understanding the state of your application when the error occurred.

const bugsnagClient = bugsnag('YOUR_API_KEY');

bugsnagClient.addMetadata('account', { id: '12345', name: 'Acme Co.' });
