React Native Bugsnag

Easily add Bugsnag exception monitoring support to your React Native application.

Although this is not affiliated with Bugsnag directly, we do have their support.

Installation

iOS

1. Install the official iOS Bugsnag sdk into your app according to their iOS instructions. (note: We did not add KSCrash.framework (step 4) to our native project at all.)

   Ensure that Symbolication is properly setup in your project as well.

2. Install the React Native Bugsnag package:

npm install --save react-native-bugsnag

(Make sure to restart your package manager afterwards.)

1. In your AppDelegate.m file, add the following code changes:

a. Import our RNBugsnag library:

#import <RNBugsnag/RNBugsnag.h>  // Add this line.

@implementation AppDelegate
  
  // ... other code

b. Add your BUSNAG Api Key inside the Info.Plist like so:

Add a new entry with a key of: `BUGSNAG_API_KEY` and a value of your Bugsnag API KEY ([Usually found within your project here](https://bugsnag.com/settings/)).
Opening the Info.Plist with a text editor your addition should look like this:

```
<key>BUGSNAG_API_KEY</key>
<string>whatever_your_api_key_is</string>
```

c. Drag and drop the ./node_modules/react-native-bugsnag/ios/RNBugsnag.xcodeproj within your Libraries group in your Xcode project

d. Go to your Project-->Target-->Build Settings--> Header Search Paths and add the following line at the end: $(SRCROOT)/../node_modules/react-native-bugsnag/ios/RNBugsnag

e. Go to your Project-->Target-->General-->Linked Frameworks and Libraries and add libRNBugsnag.a to the list.

f. Initialize RNBugsnag inside of didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{

  // ... other code

  [RNBugsnag init];	//initialize it

}

f. Enjoy!

Android

1. Go to your settings.gradle and add the following lines after

   //somewhere after include ':app' add the following 2 lines
   
   include ':react-native-bugsnag'
   project(':react-native-bugsnag').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-bugsnag/android')
   

2. Go to your app.gradle and add the following line in the end:

   dependencies {
       compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
       compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1'
       compile 'com.facebook.react:react-native:+'
       //...whatever code
   
       compile project(':react-native-bugsnag')	//<--Add this line
   }
   

3. Go to your manifest.xml and add the following line within the application tag replacing YOUR_API_KEY:

   <meta-data android:name="com.bugsnag.android.API_KEY" android:value="YOUR_API_KEY"/>
   

4. Go to your MainActivity.java and add the following code:

   import com.pintersudoplz.rnbugsnag.RNBugsnagPackage;
   

   and then within your getPackages add the line with the comment

   @Override
   protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
       // ...whatever code
       return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
           new MainReactPackage(),            
           new RNBugsnagPackage()  //add this line
       );
   }
   

Usage

Unhandled errors (Automatic dispatch):

1. Include React Native Bugsnag in your React Native app:

import Bugsnag from 'react-native-bugsnag';

1. Anywhere in the code:

Bugsnag();	//or Bugsnag({identifier:{userId: "aUserId", userEmail:"[e-mail]", userFullname:"aFullName"}})

Congratulations!!

At that point you have basic error reporting functionality working. Any unhandled javascript or native errors thrown will be reported to Bugsnag.

Handled errors (Manual dispatch):

You can manually create an exception using the following command:

Bugsnag.notify("TestExceptionName", "TestExceptionReason", "error");

The third parameter is the severity of the notification, it can be one of the following:

• "error"
• "warning"
• "info"

Symbolication

This is an important part of the process in order to get the actual method names and line numbers of the exceptions from iOS.

http://docs.bugsnag.com/platforms/ios-objc/symbolication-guide/

TODO

• Configure Bugsnag from JS.
• Handle different handled exceptions in JS.
• Show line numbers (and method names?) in JS errors.
• Create some nice graphics for this README.
• Test RNPM installation process.
• Submit to js.coach and Bugsnag.
• Fully integrate with Android.
