What is @bugsnag/plugin-react?

@bugsnag/plugin-react is a plugin for Bugsnag that provides error monitoring and reporting for React applications. It allows developers to automatically capture and report errors that occur in React components, providing detailed diagnostics and insights to help with debugging and improving application stability.

What are @bugsnag/plugin-react's main functionalities?

Error Boundary Integration

This feature allows you to wrap your React components with an Error Boundary provided by Bugsnag. This ensures that any errors thrown within the component tree are automatically captured and reported to Bugsnag.

const { Bugsnag } = require('@bugsnag/js');
const createPlugin = require('@bugsnag/plugin-react');
const React = require('react');
const ReactDOM = require('react-dom');

Bugsnag.start({
  apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
  plugins: [createPlugin(React)]
});

const ErrorBoundary = Bugsnag.getPlugin('react').createErrorBoundary(React);

class MyComponent extends React.Component {
  render() {
    throw new Error('Test error');
    return <div>Hello, world!</div>;
  }
}

ReactDOM.render(
  <ErrorBoundary>
    <MyComponent />
  </ErrorBoundary>,
  document.getElementById('app')
);

Manual Error Reporting

This feature allows you to manually report errors to Bugsnag using the `Bugsnag.notify` method. This can be useful for capturing errors that occur outside of the React component lifecycle or for custom error handling scenarios.

const { Bugsnag } = require('@bugsnag/js');
const createPlugin = require('@bugsnag/plugin-react');
const React = require('react');

Bugsnag.start({
  apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
  plugins: [createPlugin(React)]
});

class MyComponent extends React.Component {
  handleClick() {
    try {
      throw new Error('Manual error');
    } catch (error) {
      Bugsnag.notify(error);
    }
  }

  render() {
    return <button onClick={this.handleClick}>Trigger Error</button>;
  }
}

README

@bugsnag/plugin-react

A @bugsnag/js plugin for React. Learn more about error reporting for React applications with Bugsnag.

This package enables you to integrate Bugsnag's error reporting with React's error boundaries. It creates and configures an <ErrorBoundary/> component which will capture and report unhandled errors in your component tree. You either use the <ErrorBoundary/> directly, or extend it to provide some fallback UI for your users.

Reported errors will contain useful debugging info from Reacts's internals such as the component name where the error originated, and the component stack.

Getting started

1. Create a Bugsnag account
2. Complete the instructions in the integration guide
3. Report handled exceptions using Bugsnag.notify()
4. Customize your integration using the configuration options
