Error Tracking

Error tracking is one of Traque's main features. It helps you catch and fix problems in your app before they affect your users. When something goes wrong, Traque automatically captures the error and sends you all the details you need to understand what happened.

What Gets Tracked

Traque automatically catches different types of errors:

Runtime errors - When your code crashes or throws an exception
Network errors - When API calls fail or timeout
Validation errors - When data doesn't match what you expect
Custom errors - Errors you manually report to Traque

How to Track Errors Manually

While Traque automatically catches most errors, you can also manually track specific errors using the captureException method:

traque.captureException(new Error('Hello, Traque!'));

The method accepts either:

Standard JS/TS Error - Regular JavaScript/TypeScript Error objects
Internal Exception type - Traque's custom exception format

Examples

// Track a standard JavaScript error
traque.captureException(new Error('Something went wrong'));

// Track errors in try-catch blocks
try {
  // Some risky operation
  riskyFunction();
} catch (error) {
  traque.captureException(error);
}

// Track custom errors with context
const customError = new Error('User validation failed');
traque.captureException(customError);

Error Information

For each error, Traque collects useful info:

Error message - What went wrong
Stack trace - Where the error happened in your code
Context - What the user was doing when it happened
Environment - Browser, device, OS details
User info - Who experienced the error (if available)
Custom data - Any extra info you want to include

Error Notifications

Depending on your notification settings, you can get alerts when errors happen:

Push notifications on your phone
Email alerts sent to your inbox
Discord messages in your team channel

You can set up different rules for different types of errors. For example, you might want instant notifications for critical errors but daily summaries for minor ones.

Error Grouping

Traque groups similar errors together so you don't get overwhelmed with notifications. If the same error happens 100 times, you'll see it as one group with a count of 100 instead of 100 separate alerts.
