Svelte

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

You need:

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.

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

Copied
npm install @sentry/svelte --save

To use the SDK, initialize it in your Svelte entry point before bootstrapping your app. In a typical Svelte project, that is your main.js or main.ts file.

main.js
Copied
import { mount } from "svelte";
import "./app.css";
import App from "./App.svelte";

import * as Sentry from "@sentry/svelte";

// Initialize the Sentry SDK here
Sentry.init({
  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/svelte/configuration/options/#sendDefaultPii
  sendDefaultPii: true,

  integrations: [
    //  performance
    Sentry.browserTracingIntegration(),
    //  performance
    //  session-replay
    Sentry.replayIntegration(),
    //  session-replay
  ],
  //  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 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
});

const app = mount(App, {
  target: document.getElementById("app"),
});

export default app;

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

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:

SomeComponent.svelte
Copied
<button
  type="button"
  onclick={() => {
    throw new Error("Sentry Frontend Error");
  }}
>
  Throw error
</button>;

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:

SomeComponent.svelte
Copied
<button
  type="button"
  onClick={() => {
    Sentry.startSpan({ op: "test", name: "Example Frontend Span" }, () => {
      setTimeout(() => {
        throw new Error("Sentry Frontend Error");
      }, 99);
    });
  }}
>
  Throw error
</button>;

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 an interactive UI walkthrough, click here.
  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.

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:
