BugSplat

Crash and error reporting built for busy developers.

👋 Introduction

@bugsplat/js-api-client is a set of JavaScript client libraries for consuming the BugSplat API. This package is compatible in both browser and node environments as it provides ESM and CommonJS builds for each environment respectively. Additionally this package is implemented in TypeScript and the distributed builds include definition files and source maps.

🏗 Installation

Install @bugsplat/js-api-client via npm. This package currently requires Node.js 18 or later.

npm i @bugsplat/js-api-client

If you need to use a version of Node.js that's older than 18, you can install @bugsplat/[email protected].

⚙️ Configuration

Import BugSplatApiClient and Environment from @bugsplat\js-api-client

import { BugSplatApiClient, Environment } from '@bugsplat/js-api-client';

Create an authenticated BugSplatApiClient following the steps below. Authentication is slightly different depending on if you are use @bugsplat/js-api-client in a Node.js or Web Browser environment. The method used to authenticate also depends on if you already have access to the user's email and password, or if you have to prompt for it at a later time.

The host value used to create a new instance of BugSplatApiClient is https://app.bugsplat.com for most scenarios. When using this library to upload a crash reports the host value will be https://{{database}}.bugsplat.com.

Node.js

The static factory function createAuthenticatedClientForNode can be used to return an authenticated instance of BugSplatApiClient in Node.js environments.

const bugsplat = await BugSplatApiClient.createAuthenticatedClientForNode(email, password, host);

If you need to authenticate at a later time, you can create an instance of BugSplatApiClient and call login manually.

const bugsplat = new BugSplatApiClient(host, Environment.Node);
await bugsplat.login(email, password);

Web Browser

The static factory function createAuthenticatedClientForWebBrowser can be used to return an authenticated instance of BugSplatApiClient.

const bugsplat = await BugSplatApiClient.createAuthenticatedClientForBrowser(email, password, host);

If you need to authenticate at a later time, you can create an instance of BugSplatApiClient and call login manually.

const bugsplat = new BugSplatApiClient(host, Environment.WebBrowser);
await bugsplat.login(email, password);

⌨️ Usage

Create an instance of CrashApiClient or any of the API clients and pass a reference to the BugSplatApiClient instance

const client = new CrashApiClient(bugsplat);

The API clients are built to automatically parse responses from BugSplat into objects that can be used by your application

const database = 'Fred';
const id = 100389;
const crash = await client.getCrashById(database, id);

for (const stackFrame of crash.thread.stackFrames) {
  console.log(stackFrame);
}

// StackFrame {
//     fileName: 'C:\\BugSplat\\samples\\myConsoleCrasher\\myConsoleCrasher.cpp',
//     functionName: 'myConsoleCrasher!MemoryException',
//     lineNumber: 150,
//     stackFrameLevel: 1,
//     arguments: [],
//     locals: []
// }
// StackFrame {
//     fileName: 'C:\\BugSplat\\samples\\myConsoleCrasher\\myConsoleCrasher.cpp',
//     functionName: 'myConsoleCrasher!wmain',
//     lineNumber: 84,
//     stackFrameLevel: 2,
//     arguments: [
//       { variable: 'int argc', value: '0n2' },
//       { variable: 'wchar_t ** argv', value: '0x0125ef20' }
//     ],
//     locals: [
//       { variable: 'int i', value: '0n1' },
//       { variable: 'int argc', value: '0n2' },
//       { variable: 'wchar_t ** argv', value: '0x0125ef20' }
//     ]
// }
// ...
