Vue

Learn how to manually set up Sentry in your Vue app and capture your first errors.

Choose the features you want to configure, and this guide will show you how:

Want to learn more about these features?
  • Issues (always enabled): Sentry's core error monitoring product that automatically reports errors, uncaught exceptions, and unhandled rejections. If you have something that looks like an exception, Sentry can capture it.
  • Tracing: Track software performance while seeing the impact of errors across multiple systems. For example, distributed tracing allows you to follow a request from the frontend to the backend and back.
  • Session Replay: Get to the root cause of an issue faster by viewing a video-like reproduction of what was happening in the user's browser before, during, and after the problem.
  • Logs: Centralize and analyze your application logs to correlate them with errors and performance issues. Search, filter, and visualize log data to understand what's happening in your applications.

Run the command for your preferred package manager to add the Sentry SDK to your application:

Copied
npm install @sentry/vue --save

To initialize Sentry in your Vue application, add the following code snippet to your main.js:

main.js
Copied
import { createApp } from "vue";
import { createRouter } from "vue-router";
import * as Sentry from "@sentry/vue";
const app = createApp({ // ... }); const router = createRouter({ // ... });
Sentry.init({ app, dsn: "https://examplePublicKey@o0.ingest.sentry.io/0", // Adds request headers and IP for users, for more info visit: // https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/vue/configuration/options/#sendDefaultPii sendDefaultPii: true, integrations: [ // performance Sentry.browserTracingIntegration({ router }), // performance // session-replay Sentry.replayIntegration(), // session-replay // user-feedback Sentry.feedbackIntegration({ // Additional SDK configuration goes in here, for example: colorScheme: "system", }), // user-feedback ], // logs // Enable logs to be sent to Sentry _experiments: { enableLogs: true }, // logs // performance // Set tracesSampleRate to 1.0 to capture 100%
// of transactions for tracing. // We recommend adjusting this value in production // Learn more at // https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/configuration/options/#traces-sample-rate tracesSampleRate: 1.0, // Set `tracePropagationTargets` to control for which URLs trace propagation should be enabled tracePropagationTargets: ["localhost", /^https:\/\/yourserver\.io\/api/], // performance // session-replay // Capture Replay for 10% of all sessions, // plus for 100% of sessions with an error // Learn more at // https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/session-replay/configuration/#general-integration-configuration replaysSessionSampleRate: 0.1, replaysOnErrorSampleRate: 1.0, // session-replay }); app.use(router); app.mount("#app");

If your Vue application is not defined from the start, you can add error monitoring for Vue-specific errors later on. To manually add the integration for late-defined Vue applications, update your main.js file:

main.js
Copied
import * as Sentry from "@sentry/vue";

Sentry.init({
  dsn: "...",
  // Filter out default `Vue` integration
  integrations: (integrations) =>
    integrations.filter((integration) => integration.name !== "Vue"),
});

// Sometimes later
const app = createApp({
  template: "<div>hello</div>",
});

Sentry.addIntegration(Sentry.vueIntegration({ app }));

To capture Pinia state data, use Sentry.createSentryPiniaPlugin() and add it to your Pinia store instance:

Copied
import { createPinia } from "pinia";
import { createSentryPiniaPlugin } from "@sentry/vue";

const pinia = createPinia();

pinia.use(createSentryPiniaPlugin());

Learn more about the Pinia Plugin and its options.

The stack traces in your Sentry errors probably won't look like your actual code. To fix this, upload your source maps to Sentry. The easiest way to do this is by using the Sentry Wizard:

Copied
npx @sentry/wizard@latest -i sourcemaps

You can prevent ad blockers from blocking Sentry events using tunneling. Use the tunnel option to add an API endpoint in your application that forwards Sentry events to Sentry servers.

To enable tunneling, update Sentry.init with the following option:

Copied
Sentry.init({
  dsn: "https://examplePublicKey@o0.ingest.sentry.io/0",,
tunnel: "/tunnel",
});

This will send all events to the tunnel endpoint. However, the events need to be parsed and redirected to Sentry, so you'll need to do additional configuration on the server. You can find a detailed explanation on how to do this on our Troubleshooting page.

Let's test your setup and confirm that Sentry is working correctly and sending data to your Sentry project.

To verify that Sentry captures errors and creates issues in your Sentry project, add the following test button to one of your pages, which will trigger an error that Sentry will capture when you click it:

App.vue
Copied
// ...
<button @click="throwError">Throw error</button>
// ...

export default {
  // ...
  methods: {
    throwError() {
      throw new Error('Sentry Error');
    }
  }
};

To test your tracing configuration, update the previous code snippet to start a performance trace to measure the time it takes for the execution of your code:

App.vue
Copied
// ...
<button @click="throwError">Throw error</button>
// ...

export default {
  // ...
  methods: {
    throwError() {
      Sentry.startSpan({ op: "test", name: "Example Frontend Span" }, async () => {
        // Simulate an asynchronous operation
        await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 99));

        throw new Error("Sentry Error");
      });
    }
  }
};

Open the page in a browser and click the button to trigger a frontend error and performance trace.

Now, head over to your project on Sentry.io to view the collected data (it takes a couple of moments for the data to appear).

Need help locating the captured errors in your Sentry project?
  1. Open the Issues page and select an error from the issues list to view the full details and context of this error. For more details, see this interactive walkthrough.
  2. Open the Traces page and select a trace to reveal more information about each span, its duration, and any errors. For an interactive UI walkthrough, click here.
  3. Open the Replays page and select an entry from the list to get a detailed view where you can replay the interaction and get more information to help you troubleshoot.
  4. Open the Logs page and filter by service, environment, or search keywords to view log entries from your application. For an interactive UI walkthrough, click here.

At this point, you should have integrated Sentry into your Svelte application and should already be sending data to your Sentry project.

Now's a good time to customize your setup and look into more advanced topics. Our next recommended steps for you are:
