These per-SDK skills, plus a handful of setup/workflow skills, are superseded by the sentry-instrument skill and the references/sdks/ trees. Move them under skills-legacy/ so they are excluded from the plugin build and skipped by the drift automation, while skills.sentry.dev can still serve them as a fallback for existing URL consumers. Moves 26 skills: the 19 per-SDK skills plus sentry-sdk-skill-creator, sentry-fix-issues, the three sentry-span-streaming-* skills, sentry-instrument-logging, and sentry-instrumentation-guide. Regenerates SKILL_TREE.md and repaths the moved entries in CODEOWNERS. sentry-sdk is intentionally left in place; its removal is handled in a separate PR.

React-Specific Features — Sentry React SDK
Minimum SDK:
@sentry/reactv8.0.0+
This is the catch-all deep dive for React-specific Sentry features: Redux integration, component tracking, source maps, and the full integrations catalog.
Table of Contents
- Redux Integration
- Component Tracking & Performance
- Source Maps
- Default Integrations
- Optional Integrations
- Build Tool Detection & Environment Variables
1. Redux Integration
Sentry.createReduxEnhancer() hooks into your Redux store to automatically:
- Capture Redux actions as breadcrumbs on every Sentry error event
- Attach the Redux state as a
redux_state.jsonfile to error events - Keep Sentry scope tags in sync with your Redux state
Setup — Redux Toolkit (configureStore)
import * as Sentry from "@sentry/react";
import { configureStore } from "@reduxjs/toolkit";
import rootReducer from "./reducers";
const sentryReduxEnhancer = Sentry.createReduxEnhancer({
// options — see below
});
const store = configureStore({
reducer: rootReducer,
enhancers: (getDefaultEnhancers) => {
return getDefaultEnhancers().concat(sentryReduxEnhancer);
},
});
export type RootState = ReturnType<typeof store.getState>;
export type AppDispatch = typeof store.dispatch;
export default store;
⚠️ Critical:
sentryReduxEnhanceris a store enhancer, not Redux middleware. Do NOT pass it insideapplyMiddleware().
Setup — Legacy createStore with Middleware
import { createStore, applyMiddleware, compose } from "redux";
import thunk from "redux-thunk";
import * as Sentry from "@sentry/react";
const sentryReduxEnhancer = Sentry.createReduxEnhancer();
const store = createStore(
rootReducer,
compose(applyMiddleware(thunk), sentryReduxEnhancer),
);
Options: actionTransformer — Filter/Scrub Actions Before Breadcrumbs
Called for every dispatched action. Return the action to include it as a breadcrumb, a modified copy to scrub sensitive fields, or null to drop it entirely.
const sentryReduxEnhancer = Sentry.createReduxEnhancer({
actionTransformer: (action) => {
// Drop high-volume or sensitive actions entirely
if (action.type === "WEBSOCKET_PING") return null;
if (action.type === "FETCH_SECRETS") return null;
// Scrub sensitive fields from certain actions
if (action.type === "USER_LOGIN") {
return {
...action,
password: "[REDACTED]",
token: "[REDACTED]",
};
}
if (action.type === "UPDATE_PAYMENT") {
return {
...action,
payload: {
...action.payload,
cardNumber: null,
cvv: null,
},
};
}
// Include all other actions as-is
return action;
},
});
Options: stateTransformer — Filter/Scrub State Snapshots
Called on every state update. Return the state to attach it to error events, a modified copy with sensitive fields redacted, or null to exclude state entirely.
const sentryReduxEnhancer = Sentry.createReduxEnhancer({
stateTransformer: (state: RootState) => {
// Return null to send NO state with errors (reduces context but protects PII)
// if (state.topSecret.active) return null;
// Return a scrubbed copy
return {
...state,
auth: {
...state.auth,
token: null, // remove auth token
refreshToken: null,
password: null,
},
user: {
...state.user,
ssn: "[REDACTED]",
creditCard: null,
dateOfBirth: null,
},
// Remove entire subtrees you don't need
cache: null,
rawApiResponses: null,
};
},
});
⚠️ Warning: If
stateTransformerreturnsnull, error events will lack Redux state context. Debugging large state-dependent bugs becomes much harder. Prefer returning a filtered copy over returningnull.
Options: configureScopeWithState — Derive Sentry Tags from Redux State
Called after every state update. Use it to keep Sentry scope tags/context in sync with your application's Redux state — these tags then appear on every error captured after the update.
const sentryReduxEnhancer = Sentry.createReduxEnhancer({
configureScopeWithState: (scope: Sentry.Scope, state: RootState) => {
// Tag events with current user plan (great for filtering errors by customer tier)
scope.setTag("user.plan", state.user.plan);
scope.setTag("user.id", state.user.id);
// Tag with feature flag state
scope.setTag("feature.newCheckout", String(state.features.newCheckout));
scope.setTag("feature.darkMode", String(state.settings.darkMode));
// Tag with routing/navigation state
scope.setTag("app.currentFlow", state.navigation.currentFlow);
// Conditional tags based on state shape
if (state.settings.useImperialUnits) {
scope.setTag("user.usesImperialUnits", "true");
}
// Set structured context (not searchable but visible in issue detail)
scope.setContext("cart", {
itemCount: state.cart.items.length,
total: state.cart.total,
coupon: state.cart.couponCode ?? null,
});
},
});
Options: attachReduxState — Control State File Attachment
Controls whether the Redux state (post-stateTransformer) is attached as a redux_state.json file on error events.
- Type:
boolean - Default:
true - Min SDK:
7.69.0
const sentryReduxEnhancer = Sentry.createReduxEnhancer({
attachReduxState: false, // Don't attach state file — reduces payload size
});
Options: normalizeDepth — Control State Serialization Depth
Set in Sentry.init(), not in createReduxEnhancer(). Increases the depth at which Redux state trees are serialized. The default of 3 is too shallow for most Redux state shapes.
Sentry.init({
dsn: "___PUBLIC_DSN___",
normalizeDepth: 10, // Default is 3 — increase for deeply nested Redux state
});

Complete Working Example with @reduxjs/toolkit
// store/sentry.ts
import * as Sentry from "@sentry/react";
import type { RootState } from "./types";
export const sentryReduxEnhancer = Sentry.createReduxEnhancer({
actionTransformer: (action) => {
// Drop noisy/sensitive action types
const DROP_TYPES = new Set([
"SET_AUTH_TOKEN",
"REFRESH_TOKEN",
"WEBSOCKET_HEARTBEAT",
"UPDATE_CURSOR_POSITION",
]);
if (DROP_TYPES.has(action.type)) return null;
// Scrub passwords from login actions
if (action.type === "auth/login/pending") {
return { ...action, meta: { ...action.meta, arg: { email: action.meta?.arg?.email, password: "[REDACTED]" } } };
}
return action;
},
stateTransformer: (state: RootState) => ({
...state,
auth: { isAuthenticated: state.auth.isAuthenticated, userId: state.auth.userId },
// Strip large or sensitive subtrees
rawData: null,
}),
configureScopeWithState: (scope, state: RootState) => {
scope.setTag("user.plan", state.user.plan ?? "unknown");
scope.setTag("user.id", state.auth.userId ?? "anonymous");
scope.setTag("org.id", state.org.id ?? "none");
},
});
// store/index.ts
import { configureStore } from "@reduxjs/toolkit";
import { sentryReduxEnhancer } from "./sentry";
import rootReducer from "./reducers";
export const store = configureStore({
reducer: rootReducer,
enhancers: (getDefaultEnhancers) =>
getDefaultEnhancers().concat(sentryReduxEnhancer),
});
// instrument.ts — init with normalizeDepth
import * as Sentry from "@sentry/react";
Sentry.init({
dsn: import.meta.env.VITE_SENTRY_DSN,
normalizeDepth: 10, // Required for deeply nested Redux state
integrations: [Sentry.browserTracingIntegration()],
tracesSampleRate: 1.0,
});
Performance Considerations
Redux state can be very large. Keep in mind:
- State size: Large state trees (thousands of items) will slow serialization and increase payload size. Use
stateTransformerto return only the relevant slices. normalizeDepth: Keep it as low as practical.10is usually sufficient for deeply nested state; avoid setting it toInfinity.attachReduxState: false: For high-traffic production apps where payload size is a concern, disabling state attachment reduces each error event's size.configureScopeWithStatecost: This runs on every Redux dispatch. Keep the function fast — avoid heavy computations or deep object traversals.
2. Component Tracking & Performance
A. React Component Name Annotation (Build-Time)
Replaces opaque CSS selectors in breadcrumbs, Session Replay, and performance spans with readable React component names.
Before: button.en302zp1.app-191aavw.e16hd6vm2[role="button"]
After: CheckoutButton
Requirements:
- SDK v7.91.0+
- Components must be in
.jsxor.tsxfiles (.jsand.tsare not annotated) - esbuild is not supported
The bundler plugins inject data-sentry-component and data-sentry-source-file attributes at build time:
<!-- Resulting DOM -->
<button
data-sentry-component="CheckoutButton"
data-sentry-source-file="CheckoutButton.tsx"
>
Checkout
</button>
Enable via Vite (recommended):
// vite.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from "vite";
import react from "@vitejs/plugin-react";
import { sentryVitePlugin } from "@sentry/vite-plugin";
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [
react(),
sentryVitePlugin({
org: process.env.SENTRY_ORG,
project: process.env.SENTRY_PROJECT,
authToken: process.env.SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN,
reactComponentAnnotation: {
enabled: true,
// Exclude components that cause "Passing unknown props on Fragment" errors
ignoredComponents: ["AnimationWrapper", "LayoutFragment"],
},
}),
],
build: {
sourcemap: "hidden",
},
});
Enable via Babel plugin directly (without bundler plugin):
npm install @sentry/babel-plugin-component-annotate --save-dev
// babel.config.js
module.exports = {
plugins: ["@sentry/babel-plugin-component-annotate"],
};
Bundler support:
| Bundler | Component Annotation |
|---|---|
| Vite | ✅ Supported |
| Webpack | ✅ Supported |
| Rollup | ✅ Supported |
| esbuild | ❌ Not supported |
What you gain:
| Where | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Breadcrumbs | div.sc-abc123 |
ProductCard |
| Session Replay | Unreadable selector | Search by ProductCard |
| Performance spans | Generic element | CheckoutButton render |
B. Sentry.withProfiler() — React Profiler HOC
withProfiler wraps a component with the React Profiler API to capture render timing as Sentry performance spans.
import * as Sentry from "@sentry/react";
// Basic — display name inferred from component.displayName or .name
const ProfiledDashboard = Sentry.withProfiler(Dashboard);
// With explicit name (required for anonymous or arrow-function components)
const ProfiledWidget = Sentry.withProfiler(
({ data }) => <div>{data.title}</div>,
{ name: "DataWidget" }
);
// Class component decorator syntax
@Sentry.withProfiler
class ExpensiveList extends React.Component {
render() {
return <ul>{this.props.items.map(renderItem)}</ul>;
}
}
Options:
| Option | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
name |
string |
Component displayName or name |
Display name shown in Sentry traces |
includeRender |
boolean |
true |
Track initial render phase |
includeUpdates |
boolean |
true |
Track re-render / update phases |
What it captures:
- Mount time (initial render duration)
- Update/re-render time per update
- Number of re-renders
- Component name in the Sentry performance trace waterfall
Data appears in: Sentry → Performance → Trace View, as child spans of the current transaction.
Requires tracing:
browserTracingIntegrationmust be in yourSentry.initintegrations.
When to use (and when not to):
✅ Use on:
- Root-level route components (Dashboard, CheckoutFlow, UserProfile)
- Components with expensive render logic (large lists, complex calculations)
- Components that re-render frequently and may cause jank
❌ Do not use on:
- Every component in the tree — the overhead compounds
- Simple presentational/leaf components
- Components that render hundreds of times per second (e.g., animation frames)
Performance overhead: Each profiled component adds a small constant overhead per render cycle. Profile the 5–10 most performance-critical components, not the entire tree.
3. Source Maps
Source maps translate minified production stack traces back to your original source code. Without them, stack traces show obfuscated variable names and collapsed line numbers.
Recommended: Sentry Wizard
The fastest path — automatically detects your bundler, installs the plugin, and configures auth:
You need to run this yourself — the wizard opens a browser for login and requires interactive input that the agent can't handle. Copy-paste into your terminal:
npx @sentry/wizard@latest -i sourcemapsIt detects Vite/webpack/CRA, installs the appropriate Sentry bundler plugin, adds
SENTRY_AUTH_TOKENto.env.sentry-build-plugin, and configuressourcemap: "hidden"withfilesToDeleteAfterUpload.Once it finishes, come back and the agent will continue.
If the user skips the wizard, proceed with manual bundler plugin setup below.
How Debug IDs Work
Modern Sentry source map matching uses Debug IDs — unique identifiers injected by the bundler plugin into both the compiled .js bundle and the corresponding .js.map file. This makes source map matching reliable without needing to manage file names or release artifacts manually.
Flow:
- Production build runs → bundler plugin injects a Debug ID into each
.jsand.js.mapfile - Plugin uploads
.js.mapfiles to Sentry with their Debug IDs - Error occurs in production → stack frame contains the Debug ID
- Sentry uses the Debug ID to locate the exact source map → deobfuscates the trace
Debug IDs are more reliable than release-based matching (older approach) because they don't depend on consistent release naming or artifact upload timing.
Vite Plugin
Minimum SDK: @sentry/vite-plugin 2.0.0 / @sentry/react 7.47.0
npm install @sentry/vite-plugin --save-dev
// vite.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from "vite";
import react from "@vitejs/plugin-react";
import { sentryVitePlugin } from "@sentry/vite-plugin";
export default defineConfig({
build: {
// "hidden" generates source maps but strips the `//# sourceMappingURL=` comment
// from bundles, so browsers won't load them — they're only for Sentry.
sourcemap: "hidden",
},
plugins: [
react(),
// sentryVitePlugin MUST come after all other plugins
sentryVitePlugin({
org: process.env.SENTRY_ORG,
project: process.env.SENTRY_PROJECT,
authToken: process.env.SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN,
// Enable React component name annotation at the same time
reactComponentAnnotation: {
enabled: true,
},
sourcemaps: {
// Delete .map files from dist/ after uploading to Sentry
// so they're not deployed to your CDN/server
filesToDeleteAfterUpload: [
"./**/*.map",
".*/**/public/**/*.map",
"./dist/**/client/**/*.map",
],
},
}),
],
});
⚠️ Place
sentryVitePluginafter all other plugins (especially@vitejs/plugin-react) to ensure correct source map generation.
Webpack Plugin
Minimum SDK: @sentry/webpack-plugin 2.0.0 / @sentry/react 7.47.0
npm install @sentry/webpack-plugin --save-dev
// webpack.config.js
const { sentryWebpackPlugin } = require("@sentry/webpack-plugin");
module.exports = {
// "hidden-source-map" generates source maps without the `//# sourceMappingURL=`
// reference comment, so they won't be served publicly.
devtool: "hidden-source-map",
plugins: [
sentryWebpackPlugin({
org: process.env.SENTRY_ORG,
project: process.env.SENTRY_PROJECT,
authToken: process.env.SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN,
sourcemaps: {
filesToDeleteAfterUpload: [
"./**/*.map",
"./build/static/**/*.map",
],
},
}),
],
};
Create React App
CRA has limited configuration access. Two approaches:
Option A: CRACO (recommended — no ejection)
npm install @craco/craco @sentry/webpack-plugin --save-dev
// craco.config.js
const { sentryWebpackPlugin } = require("@sentry/webpack-plugin");
module.exports = {
webpack: {
configure: (webpackConfig) => {
webpackConfig.devtool = "hidden-source-map";
webpackConfig.plugins.push(
sentryWebpackPlugin({
org: process.env.SENTRY_ORG,
project: process.env.SENTRY_PROJECT,
authToken: process.env.SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN,
sourcemaps: {
filesToDeleteAfterUpload: ["./build/static/**/*.map"],
},
})
);
return webpackConfig;
},
},
};
Update package.json scripts:
{
"scripts": {
"start": "craco start",
"build": "craco build"
}
}
Option B: Eject (npm run eject)
After ejecting, edit config/webpack.config.js directly — same as the regular webpack setup above. Ejection is irreversible; prefer CRACO.
Manual Upload with sentry-cli
Use when you can't use a bundler plugin (e.g., legacy toolchain, pre-built artifacts):
npm install @sentry/cli --save-dev
# Upload source maps after a production build
npx sentry-cli sourcemaps upload \
--org $SENTRY_ORG \
--project $SENTRY_PROJECT \
--auth-token $SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN \
./build
.sentryclirc configuration file (alternative to env vars):
[defaults]
org = my-org-slug
project = my-project-slug
url = https://sentry.io/
# With .sentryclirc, no --org/--project flags needed:
npx sentry-cli sourcemaps upload --auth-token $SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN ./build
⚠️ Never commit
SENTRY_AUTH_TOKENto source control. Always read it from environment variables.
CI/CD pattern (GitHub Actions):
- name: Build
run: npm run build
- name: Upload source maps to Sentry
env:
SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN }}
SENTRY_ORG: my-org-slug
SENTRY_PROJECT: my-react-app
run: |
npx sentry-cli sourcemaps upload \
--org $SENTRY_ORG \
--project $SENTRY_PROJECT \
--auth-token $SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN \
./build
- name: Delete source maps from build artifacts
run: find ./build -name "*.map" -delete
- name: Deploy
run: # your deploy step
Environment Variables for Source Maps
Store credentials in .env.sentry-build-plugin (auto-loaded by Sentry bundler plugins) or pass as CI/CD secrets:
# .env.sentry-build-plugin ← auto-loaded by @sentry/vite-plugin and @sentry/webpack-plugin
# ADD THIS FILE TO .gitignore — never commit it
SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN=sntrys_eyJ...
SENTRY_ORG=my-org-slug
SENTRY_PROJECT=my-project-slug
Required token permissions:
The SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN must have:
- Project: Read & Write
- Release: Admin
Source Map Security
| Strategy | How |
|---|---|
| Don't expose maps to browsers | Use sourcemap: "hidden" (Vite) or devtool: "hidden-source-map" (webpack) |
| Delete maps after upload | Use filesToDeleteAfterUpload in the plugin config |
| Block map access at CDN/server | Configure your server to return 403 for .js.map requests |
All three should be used together for maximum security.
Troubleshooting Source Maps
| Problem | Likely Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Stack traces still minified | Source maps not uploaded, or Debug IDs missing | Rebuild with production config, re-run wizard or plugin |
| Maps not applied to old errors | Maps uploaded after errors occurred | Always upload maps before deploying — ideally in the same CI step |
| "SourceMapDevToolPlugin" stripping sources | noSources: true in your webpack SourceMapDevToolPlugin |
Remove noSources: true option |
| Plugin only uploads once | Running in --watch or dev mode |
Plugin only uploads during production builds (NODE_ENV=production) |
| SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN not found | Missing env variable | Check .env.sentry-build-plugin exists and is not gitignored incorrectly |
| Component names still not showing | .js/.ts files instead of .jsx/.tsx |
Rename files or use the Babel plugin directly on all JSX transform targets |
4. Default Integrations
These integrations are automatically enabled for every @sentry/react installation. No configuration required.
| Integration | Name Constant | What It Does |
|---|---|---|
| Breadcrumbs | breadcrumbsIntegration |
Captures breadcrumbs from DOM events (clicks, inputs), XHR, fetch, console calls, history navigation |
| Browser API Errors | browserApiErrorsIntegration |
Wraps setTimeout, setInterval, requestAnimationFrame, addEventListener, removeEventListener in try/catch so errors inside them are captured |
| Browser Session | browserSessionIntegration |
Tracks session health (healthy vs. crashed) for Release Health metrics |
| Dedupe | dedupeIntegration |
Prevents duplicate error events from being sent — deduplicates based on error type, message, and stack trace |
| Function to String | functionToStringIntegration |
Preserves original function .toString() output after SDK instrumentation, so stack traces show readable names |
| Global Handlers | globalHandlersIntegration |
Listens to window.onerror (uncaught exceptions) and window.onunhandledrejection (unhandled promise rejections) |
| HTTP Context | httpContextIntegration |
Attaches current URL, referrer, and user-agent to every event |
| Inbound Filters | inboundFiltersIntegration |
Filters known-noisy events by error type, message, or URL (e.g., browser extension errors, localhost-only errors) |
| Linked Errors | linkedErrorsIntegration |
Follows JavaScript error.cause chains and attaches nested errors as linked issues — also used for React component stack linkage |
Customizing a Default Integration's Options
Pass the integration explicitly in integrations — it overrides the default instance:
Sentry.init({
dsn: "___PUBLIC_DSN___",
integrations: [
// Override breadcrumbs to disable console capturing but keep DOM/fetch/XHR
Sentry.breadcrumbsIntegration({
console: false, // don't capture console.log as breadcrumbs
dom: true,
fetch: true,
history: true,
xhr: true,
}),
// Only capture unhandled exceptions; handle rejections manually
Sentry.globalHandlersIntegration({
onerror: true,
onunhandledrejection: false,
}),
],
});
Removing a Default Integration
Use the function form of integrations to filter out what you don't want:
Sentry.init({
dsn: "___PUBLIC_DSN___",
integrations: (integrations) => {
// Remove deduplication (e.g., if you want every occurrence recorded separately)
return integrations.filter(
(integration) => integration.name !== "Dedupe"
);
},
});
Common integration names to filter:
"Dedupe"— deduplication"Breadcrumbs"— all automatic breadcrumbs"GlobalHandlers"— window.onerror / unhandledrejection"LinkedErrors"— error cause chain following"HttpContext"— URL/referrer attachment"InboundFilters"— built-in noise filtering
Disabling ALL Default Integrations
Sentry.init({
dsn: "___PUBLIC_DSN___",
defaultIntegrations: false,
// Build your own set from scratch:
integrations: [
Sentry.globalHandlersIntegration(),
Sentry.browserTracingIntegration(),
Sentry.dedupeIntegration(),
],
});
5. Optional Integrations
These are available but must be explicitly added to your integrations array.

httpClientIntegration — Full Setup
Captures HTTP requests that fail (4xx/5xx) as error events, with the request URL, method, status code, and optionally request/response bodies.
Sentry.init({
dsn: "___PUBLIC_DSN___",
integrations: [
Sentry.httpClientIntegration({
// Capture errors for these HTTP status code ranges
failedRequestStatusCodes: [[400, 499], [500, 599]],
// Only capture errors for these URL patterns
failedRequestTargets: [
"https://api.myapp.com",
/^https:\/\/internal\.service\//,
],
}),
],
dataCollection: {
// To disable sending user data and HTTP bodies, uncomment the lines below. For more info visit:
// https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/react/configuration/options/#dataCollection
// userInfo: false,
// httpBodies: [],
},
});
Adding Integrations After Init
If you need to add an integration after Sentry.init() has been called (e.g., after user consent):
// After the user accepts analytics cookies:
Sentry.addIntegration(Sentry.replayIntegration({
maskAllText: true,
blockAllMedia: true,
}));
Lazy Loading Integrations (Code Splitting)
// Dynamic import (works with any bundler)
import("@sentry/browser").then((lazySentry) => {
Sentry.addIntegration(lazySentry.replayIntegration());
});
// CDN lazyLoadIntegration() — for Sentry loader script environments
async function enableFeedback() {
try {
const feedbackIntegration =
await Sentry.lazyLoadIntegration("feedbackIntegration");
Sentry.addIntegration(feedbackIntegration({ colorScheme: "system" }));
} catch (e) {
// Ad-blockers or network failures — fail gracefully
console.warn("Could not load Sentry feedback integration", e);
}
}
Lazy-loadable integrations: replayIntegration, replayCanvasIntegration, feedbackIntegration, feedbackModalIntegration, feedbackScreenshotIntegration, captureConsoleIntegration, contextLinesIntegration, linkedErrorsIntegration, dedupeIntegration, extraErrorDataIntegration, httpClientIntegration, reportingObserverIntegration, rewriteFramesIntegration, browserProfilingIntegration

Custom Webpack — webpack.config.js with DefinePlugin:
const webpack = require("webpack");
module.exports = {
plugins: [
new webpack.DefinePlugin({
"process.env.SENTRY_DSN": JSON.stringify(process.env.SENTRY_DSN),
"process.env.SENTRY_ENVIRONMENT": JSON.stringify(
process.env.NODE_ENV ?? "development"
),
}),
],
};
// instrument.ts
Sentry.init({
dsn: process.env.SENTRY_DSN,
environment: process.env.SENTRY_ENVIRONMENT,
});
Conditional Initialization (Development vs Production)
Prevent Sentry from running in local development to avoid polluting your issue inbox with dev noise:
// instrument.ts
import * as Sentry from "@sentry/react";
const IS_PRODUCTION =
import.meta.env.PROD || // Vite
process.env.NODE_ENV === "production"; // webpack / CRA
if (IS_PRODUCTION) {
Sentry.init({
dsn: import.meta.env.VITE_SENTRY_DSN, // or your env var pattern
environment: "production",
integrations: [
Sentry.browserTracingIntegration(),
Sentry.replayIntegration({
maskAllText: false,
blockAllMedia: false,
}),
],
tracesSampleRate: 0.2, // 20% in production
replaysSessionSampleRate: 0.1,
replaysOnErrorSampleRate: 1.0,
});
} else {
// In development: optionally init with verbose debug and full sampling
Sentry.init({
dsn: import.meta.env.VITE_SENTRY_DSN,
environment: "development",
debug: true, // Verbose SDK logging
tracesSampleRate: 1.0, // 100% in dev so nothing is missed
integrations: [Sentry.browserTracingIntegration()],
// No Replay in dev — too noisy
});
}
