Basic setup

Initialize Sentry as you would normally. Then, add apollo-link-sentry to your Apollo Client's link array:

import { SentryLink } from 'apollo-link-sentry';

const client = new ApolloClient({
  link: ApolloLink.from([
    new SentryLink(/* See options */),
    new HttpLink({ uri: 'http://localhost:4000' }),
  ]),
  cache: new InMemoryCache(),
});

Options

const defaultOptions = {
  /**
   * Set the Sentry `transaction` to the `operationName` of the query / mutation. Note that this
   * only works if the transaction is not overwritten later in your app.
   */
  setTransaction: true,

  /**
   * Narrow Sentry's fingerprint by appending the operation's name to Sentry's {{default}} key.
   * It works in such a way that only the last operation is added, not every operation that's been
   * through the link. Note that if you override this somewhere else in your app, it is possible
   * that the value set by `apollo-link-sentry` is overwritten.
   */
  setFingerprint: true,

  breadcrumb: {
    /**
     * Set to false to disable attaching GraphQL operations as breadcrumbs. If only this breadcrumb
     * option is toggled, the breadcrumb will only show the operation name and it's type.
     */
    enable: true,

    /**
     * Include the query / mutation string in the breadcrumb.
     */
    includeQuery: false,

    /**
     * Include the entire Apollo cache in the breadcrumb. It is not recommended to enable this
     * option in production environment, for several reasons, see "Be careful what you include".
     * This option is specifically useful for debugging purposes, but when applied in combination
     * with `beforeBreadcrumb` can also be used in production.
     */
    includeCache: false,

    /**
     * Include the operation's variables in the breadcrumb. Again, be careful what you include,
     * or apply a filter.
     */
    includeVariables: false,

    /**
     * Include the operation's fetch result in the breadcrumb.
     */
    includeResponse: false,

    /**
     * If an error is received, it can be included in the breadcrumb. Regardless of this option,
     * the breadcrumb's type is set to error to reflect a failed operation in the Sentry UI.
     */
    includeError: false,

    /**
     * Include context keys as extra data in the breadcrumb. Accepts dot notation.
     * The data is stringified and formatted. Can be used to include headers for instance.
     */
    includeContextKeys: [],
  },

  /**
   * Provide a callback function which receives an instance of this package's Operation class
   * Only operations that pass the test are sent to Sentry. Leave undefined if you want all
   * operations to pass. See PR #9 for more details.
   */
  filter: (operation) => true,

  /**
   * Provide a callback function which receives an instance of this package's OperationBreadcrumb class
   * Use it to modify the data that is added to the breadcrumb. Leave undefined if you want all
   * data to be included. Very useful in combination with options like includeVariables and includeContextKeys.
   */
  beforeBreadcrumb: (breadcrumb) => breadcrumb,
};

Compatibility with other Apollo Links

apollo-link-sentry aims to be friendly with other apollo-link packages, in the sense that we would like for you to be able to attach as much data as you want. For example, if you would like to add the HTTP headers you set with apollo-link-context, you can do that by setting includeContextKeys: ['headers'].

In case you find that there's a piece of data you're missing, feel free to open an issue.

Be careful what you include

Please note that Sentry sets some limits to how big events can be. For instance, events greater than 200KiB are immediately dropped (pre decompression). More information on that here. Be especially careful with the includeCache option, as caches can become quite large.

Furthermore, much of the data you are sending to Sentry can include (sensitive) personal information. This might lead you to violating the terms of the GDPR. Use Sentry's beforeBreadrcrumb function to filter out all sensitive data.

FAQ

I don't see any events appearing in my Sentry stream

Note that this package (currently) only adds breadcrumbs. This means that you are still responsible for reporting errors to Sentry. You can do this by calling Sentry.captureException(). See this example:

<Mutation mutation={ERROR_MUTATION}>
  {(mutate, { data, error, loading }) => {
    if (loading) return <div>loading</div>;
    if (error) return <div>{error.toString()}</div>;

    const onClick = () => mutate().catch((error) => {
      Sentry.captureException(error);
    });

    return <div>
      <button type="button" onClick={() => onClick()}>Mutate</button>
      {JSON.stringify(data)}
    </div>
  }}
</Mutation>

GraphQL operations are also logged as fetch breadcrumbs
- Sentry by default attaches all fetch events as breadcrumbs. This means that there are two ways to ensure GraphQL operations appear but once:
  1. Disable the default integration for fetch requests. Note that this is only recommended if you only use GraphQL requests in your application. The default integration can be disabled like this:
```
Sentry.init({
  dsn: '',
  defaultIntegrations: [
    new Sentry.Integrations.Breadcrumbs({ fetch: false }),
  ],
});
```
  1. Otherwise, it will be possible to use the beforeBreadcrumb option of Sentry to filter out the duplicates. This feature is not yet implemented in this package, but it is on the roadmap (see below).

Caveats

This package has not been tested for subscriptions
We also need to test for different links, i.e. apollo-link-rest

Roadmap / notes

Provide wrapper for Sentry's beforeBreadcrumb to filter out fetch requests
- Caveat: people using unfetch?
Write best practice scenario:
- setting includeError true
- catch errors manually
- throw custom error
- how to use together with apollo-link-error?
  - does it report errors twice if you do sentry capture there and in your catch
