RUM Browser Monitoring - React integration

This package provides React and React ecosystem integrations for Flashcat Browser RUM.

See the dedicated Datadog documentation for more details.

npm install @flashcatcloud/browser-rum @flashcatcloud/browser-rum-react

Usage

Initialization

To enable the React integration, pass the reactPlugin to the plugins option of the flashcatRum.init method:

import { flashcatRum } from '@flashcatcloud/browser-rum'
import { reactPlugin } from '@flashcatcloud/browser-rum-react'

flashcatRum.init({
  applicationId: ...,
  clientToken: ...,
  ...
  plugins: [reactPlugin()],
})

Error Tracking

To track React component rendering errors, use one of the following:

• An ErrorBoundary component (see React documentation) that catches errors and reports them to Flashcat.
• A function that you can use to report errors from your own ErrorBoundary component.

ErrorBoundary usage

import { ErrorBoundary } from '@flashcatcloud/browser-rum-react'

function App() {
  return (
    <ErrorBoundary fallback={ErrorFallback}>
      <MyComponent />
    </ErrorBoundary>
  )
}

function ErrorFallback({ resetError, error }: { resetError: () => void; error: unknown }) {
  return (
    <p>
      Oops, something went wrong! <strong>{String(error)}</strong> <button onClick={resetError}>Retry</button>
    </p>
  )
}

Reporting React errors from your own ErrorBoundary

import { addReactError } from '@flashcatcloud/browser-rum-react'

class MyErrorBoundary extends React.Component {
  componentDidCatch(error: Error, errorInfo: React.ErrorInfo) {
    addReactError(error, errorInfo)
  }

  render() {
    ...
  }
}

React Router integration

react-router v6 allows you to declare routes using the following methods:

• Create routers with createMemoryRouter, createHashRouter, or createBrowserRouter functions.
• Use the useRoutes hook.
• Use the Routes component.

To track route changes with the Flashcat RUM Browser SDK, first initialize the reactPlugin with the router: true option, then replace those functions with their equivalent from @flashcatcloud/browser-rum-react/react-router-v6. Example:

import { RouterProvider } from 'react-router-dom'
import { flashcatRum } from '@flashcatcloud/browser-rum'
import { reactPlugin } from '@flashcatcloud/browser-rum-react'
// Use "createBrowserRouter" from @flashcatcloud/browser-rum-react/react-router-v6 instead of react-router-dom:
import { createBrowserRouter } from '@flashcatcloud/browser-rum-react/react-router-v6'

flashcatRum.init({
  ...
  plugins: [reactPlugin({ router: true })],
})

const router = createBrowserRouter([
  {
    path: '/',
    element: <Root />,
    ...
  },
])

ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('root')).render(<RouterProvider router={router} />)
