vue2-sentry

Plugin Vue.js for error tracking with Sentry

Sentry

If you do not already have a Sentry account, you will need to create it to gain access to the panel and the keys to integrate your Vue.js application into Sentry and start tracking errors and logs.

Usage

NPM

npm install vue2-sentry --save

In your src/main.js:

import Vue from 'vue'
import App from './App.vue'
import VueSentry from 'vue2-sentry'

Vue.use(VueSentry, {
  protocol: 'https', // Optional: default is https
  key: 'your_key_sentry',
  project: 'your_name_project',
  config: {} // Optional: custom config
})

Vue.config.productionTip = false

/* eslint-disable no-new */
new Vue({
  el: '#app',
  render: h => h(App)
})

Explaining the properties

When installing the plugin using Vue.use it is possible to define an object by passing the default settings and the keys needed to build the DSN communication and make the tracking work the errors.

key: Here you put the public key available in your Sentry account. But also if you need to pass the private key, just enter it this way.

key: 'your_public_key:your_private_key'

project: Each project created in the Sentry panel it generates a project ID, in this property you inform the ID of the project that you want to track.

config: At the time of installation, you can set various properties for your application to manage in a custom way on your Sentry dashboard. You can find out which options are available through this link config sentry

How to use within components

Thinking of the flexibility to customize and define some specific information with tags, userContext, among others. The plugin uses Raven (which is the official Sentry SDK) and integrates into the Vue prototype, making it available in its component.

For example, in any Vue component

...
<script>
  export default {
    name: 'UserAccount',

    mounted () {
      this.$raven.setUserContext({
        email: '[email protected]',
        id: '15'
      })
    }
  }
</script>
...

Environments

vue2-sentry will track in all environments, but if you want to track only in production, you can use the Node environment variables to determine.

enable: By default true and is optional, equivalent to all environments.

If you want to track only in production, you can use this example below.

Vue.use(VueSentry, {
  enable: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production', // Optional: default is true for (all environments)
  ...
}
