A client-side JavaScript library for integrating apps with the ⚡ Honeybadger Error Notifier. For server-side javascript, check out our NodeJS library.
Place the following code between the <head></head> tags of your page:
<script src="//js.honeybadger.io/v0.4/honeybadger.min.js" type="text/javascript" data-api_key="project api key" data-environment="production"></script>Honeybadger may also be configured via JavaScript:
<script type="text/javascript">
Honeybadger.configure({
api_key: 'project api key',
environment: 'production'
});
</script>Here's a video walkthrough of a basic, global installation:
npm install honeybadger-js --save-dev
bower install honeybadger --save-devvar Honeybadger = require("path/to/honeybadger");
Honeybadger.configure({
api_key: 'project api key',
environment: 'production'
});- See an example browserify + honeybadger.js project.
- See an example webpack + honeybadger.js project.
requirejs(["path/to/honeybadger"], function(Honeybadger) {
Honeybadger.configure({
api_key: 'project api key',
environment: 'production'
});
});Note: First, make sure you use bundler >= 1.8.4.
Add the following to your Gemfile:
source 'https://rails-assets.org' do
gem 'rails-assets-honeybadger'
endAdd the following to application.js:
//= require honeybadger
Honeybadger.configure({
api_key: 'project api key',
environment: 'production'
});By default Honeybadger will report all uncaught exceptions automatically using our window.onerror handler.
You can also manually notify Honeybadger of errors and other events in your application code:
try {
// ...error producing code...
} catch(error) {
Honeybadger.notify(error);
}See the full documentation for the notify method for more examples.
You can set configuration options by using the Honeybadger.configure function. All of the available options are shown below:
Honeybadger.configure({
// Honeybadger API key (required)
api_key: '',
// Collector Host
host: 'api.honeybadger.io',
// Use SSL?
ssl: true,
// Project root
project_root: 'http://my-app.com',
// Environment
environment: 'production',
// Component (optional)
component: '',
// Action (optional)
action: '',
// Should unhandled (window.onerror) notifications be sent?
onerror: true,
// Disable notifications?
disabled: false
});You can call Honeybadger.configure as many times as you like. The existing configuration data will be merged with any new data you provide. This is especially useful for changing the action and component values inside of single-page apps.
The global Honeybadger instance may also be configured via data attributes on the script tag which loads honeybadger.js:
<script src="honeybadger.js" type="text/javascript" data-component="pages" data-action="index" ...></script>If you've caught an exception and want to send it to Honeybadger, this is the method for you.
try {
// ...error producing code...
} catch(error) {
Honeybadger.notify(error);
}JavaScript often uses generic class names -- such as Error -- which are uninformative and also cause unrelated errors to be grouped together. To get around this issue it's a good practice to send a custom error class when notifying Honeybadger:
Honeybadger.notify(error, 'DescriptiveClass');You can also set or override other optional data which is reported with the error:
Honeybadger.notify(error, {
message: 'My custom message',
name: 'DescriptiveClass',
component: 'badgers',
action: 'show',
context: { badgerId: 1 },
fingerprint: 'This unique string will group similar errors together',
environment: 'production',
project_root: 'https://www.example.com/'
});Finally, you can notify Honeybadger of anything, even if you don't have an error object:
Honeybadger.notify('Badgers!');
Honeybadger.notify('Badgers!', { ... });
Honeybadger.notify('Badgers!', 'CustomClass');
Honeybadger.notify('Badgers!', 'CustomClass', { ... });
Honeybadger.notify({
message: 'Badgers!',
name: 'CustomClass',
...
});A stacktrace will be generated for you (when possible) if you do not provide an error object.
It can be a pain to include try/catch blocks everywhere in your app. A slightly nicer option is to use Honeybadger.wrap. You pass it a function. It returns a new function which wraps your existing function in a try/catch block.
Honeybadger.wrap(function(){
throw "oops";
})();Note that wrap returns a function. This makes it easy to use with event handlers, as in the example below:
$(document).on("click", "#myElement", Honeybadger.wrap(function(){ throw "oops"; }));Javascript exceptions are pretty bare-bones. You probably have some additional data that could make them a lot easier to understand - perhaps the name of the current Angular view, or the id of the current user. This function lets you set context data that will be sent if an error should occur.
You can call setContext as many times as you like. New context data will be merged with the existing data.
// On load
Honeybadger.setContext({
user_id: 123
});
// Later
Honeybadger.setContext({
backbone_view: 'tracks'
});
// The context now contains { user_id: 123, backbone_view: 'tracks' }If you've used Honeybadger.setContext to store context data, you can clear it with Honeybadger.resetContext.
// Set the context to {}
Honeybadger.resetContext();
// Clear the context, then set it to `{ user_id: 123 }`
Honeybadger.resetContext({
user_id: 123
});Passing a function to Honeybadger.beforeNotify will add the function
to a list of before notify handlers. If the function includes a
parameter, the Notice object will be passed as an argument. Multiple
handlers may be added in this fashion:
Honeybadger.beforeNotify(function(notice) {
notice.message = 'My custom message';
});
// To halt notification, return false from any `beforeNotify` handler:
Honeybadger.beforeNotify(function(notice) {
if (notice.class == 'MyCustomError') return false;
});The following notice attributes may be modified by your notification handlers:
- stack - The stack trace
- name - The exception class name
- message - The error message
- url - The current url
- project_root - The root url
- environment - Name of the environment. example: "production"
- component - Similar to a rails controller name. example: "users"
- action - Similar to a rails action name. example: "create"
- fingerprint - A unique fingerprint, used to customize grouping of errors in Honeybadger.
- context - The context object.
The configure method takes an object containing config values. Its return value is unspecified.
Honeybadger.configure({api_key: "adlkjfljk"});The factory method returns a new instance of Honeybadger which can be configured differently than the global/singleton instance.
var other_hb = Honeybadger.factory({api_key: "zxcvbnm"});
other_hb.notify("This will go to an alternate project.");Honeybadger can automatically un-minify your code if you provide a sourcemap along with your minified JavaScript files.
To do this, you'll add a special comment at the bottom of your minified JS. It tells us where to find your sourcemap. For example:
// ...minified code...
//# sourceMappingURL=application.min.js.mapThe sourcemap URL needs to be a valid URL accessible to the public.
For more information on sourcemaps, check out the Source Map Revision 3 Proposal.
If you'd like to be able to jump from the Honeybadger backtrace to your unminified source file, just tell us where to find your unminified files using the sourceRoot option.
sourceRoot is the root URL for your unminified source files. To set it, you can use another magic comment:
// ...minified code...
//# sourceRoot=https://sources.my-domain.com/srcThis option may also be specified as a top-level key in the JSON sourcemap file itself:
{
"sourceRoot" : "https://sources.my-domain.com/src",
// ...sourcemap...
}If providing the sourceRoot option fouls up other tools in your toolchain, you can alternatively use honeybadgerSourceRoot.
If you're using Honeybadger's GitHub integration, you can link to source files on GitHub by substituting a special [PROJECT_ROOT] token for the root of your GitHub repository:
// ...minified code...
//# sourceMappingURL=honeybadger.min.js.map
//# honeybadgerSourceRoot=[PROJECT_ROOT]/srcThis is the only situation in which the source root is not required to be a valid URL.
Honeybadger.js automatically reports uncaught exceptions from window.onerror. To
disable notifications for uncaught exceptions, set the onerror option to
false.
Honeybadger.configure({
api_key: 'project api key',
onerror: false
});- Fork it.
