sentry-error-capturing

Capture runtime errors by initializing Sentry in your application and wrapping risky code with captureException or captureMessage. Sentry automatically reports exceptions to your project dashboard, where you can monitor, triage, and debug errors in real time across your user base.

Yes. Use setUser to attach user identity, setTag to add searchable labels, setExtra for custom data, and setContext for operation-specific information. This enriched context helps you quickly identify affected users and reproduce issues during debugging.

Breadcrumbs are timestamped events that trace user activity leading up to an error, showing the full context of what happened. Fingerprinting groups related errors together so similar issues are clustered for analysis rather than appearing as separate incidents.

Implement error boundaries in React to catch and handle component errors without crashing the entire application. Error boundaries let you display fallback UI and optionally send error details to Sentry for monitoring while maintaining a functional user experience.

Yes. Use beforeSend to inspect and filter errors before transmission, modifying or discarding events based on your criteria. This lets you reduce noise, strip sensitive data, or adjust error grouping dynamically before events reach your Sentry project.

Error capturing applies to client-side web applications and modern JavaScript frameworks through Sentry's SDKs, which support automatic and manual error collection. Setup varies by framework, but core features like context enrichment and breadcrumbs work consistently across React, Vue, Angular, and vanilla JavaScript.
