@sentry/nextjs

What is @sentry/nextjs?

The @sentry/nextjs package is a JavaScript SDK for Sentry that provides error tracking and performance monitoring specifically tailored for Next.js applications. It helps developers to automatically capture exceptions, track performance issues, and improve the reliability of their Next.js applications.

What are @sentry/nextjs's main functionalities?

Automatic Error Tracking

Automatically captures unhandled exceptions and errors in the Next.js application and sends them to Sentry for monitoring and analysis.

import * as Sentry from '@sentry/nextjs';

Sentry.init({ dsn: 'YOUR_DSN' });

Performance Monitoring

Enables performance monitoring to track the performance of server-side and client-side Next.js operations, providing insights into slow transactions and bottlenecks.

import * as Sentry from '@sentry/nextjs';

Sentry.init({
  dsn: 'YOUR_DSN',
  tracesSampleRate: 1.0
});

Custom Error Reporting

Allows developers to manually report custom errors or exceptions to Sentry, giving them control over what gets reported.

import * as Sentry from '@sentry/nextjs';

Sentry.captureException(new Error('Custom error message'));

Release Health Tracking

Tracks the health of releases by monitoring error rates and issues that affect end-users, helping developers to understand the impact of new releases.

import * as Sentry from '@sentry/nextjs';

Sentry.init({
  dsn: 'YOUR_DSN',
  release: 'my-project-name@1.0.0'
});
