:dog: use datadog from a hook

Usage

npm i use-datadog

import { useDatadog } from 'use-datadog';
import { StatusType } from '@datadog/browser-logs';

export function DogText ({ context }) {
    // destructure any method from `datadogLogs`
    const {logger} = useDatadog({
        // accepts any arguments that `datadogLogs` does
        clientToken: '<CLIENT_TOKEN>',
        site: '<DATADOG_SITE>',
    });
    logger.log('Log a result to datadog', context, StatusType.info);
    
    return <div>🐕</div>
}

const DogText = () => {
    // destructure any method from `datadogRum`
    const {addRumGlobalContext} = useDatadogRum({
        // accepts any arguments that `datadogRum` does
        clientToken: '<CLIENT_TOKEN>',
        applicationId: '<APP_ID>',
    });
    
    addRumGlobalContext('Poodle', { poodle: '🐩' });
    
    return <div>🐕</div>
}

Gotchas

Note that the silentMultipleInit argument is automatically passed during initialization, but can be overwritten.

Motivation

In some contexts, a server-side rendered React application will not have access to the window object, which causes a silent failure in Datadog. This library seeks to remedy that by placing it in a useEffect wrapper. The resulting destructuring from the hook is nice too.
