React.js Error Boundary

Highlight ships @highlight-run/react which can be installed alongside highlight.run for additional functionality for React applications.

Error Boundary

Highlight provides an ErrorBoundary to help you provide a better experience for your users when your application crashes. Using an ErrorBoundary gives your application an opportunity to recover from a bad state.

import { ErrorBoundary } from '@highlight-run/react' const App = () => ( <ErrorBoundary showDialog> <YourAwesomeApplication /> </ErrorBoundary> )

Showing a custom feedback modal when a crash happens

You should use this if you would like to replace the feedback modal with your own styles/branding.

import { ErrorBoundary } from '@highlight-run/react' const App = () => ( <ErrorBoundary showDialog customDialog={ <div> <h2>Whoops! Looks like a crash happened.</h2> <p>Don't worry, our team is tracking this down!</p> <form> <label> Feedback <input type="text" /> </label> <button type="submit">Send Feedback</button> </form> </div> } > <YourAwesomeApplication /> </ErrorBoundary> )
