# Elysia | Sentry for Elysia

This SDK is currently in **ALPHA**. Alpha features are still in progress, may have bugs, and might include breaking changes. Please reach out on [GitHub](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/issues/new/choose) if you have any feedback or concerns.

## [Prerequisites](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/elysia.md#prerequisites)

You need:

* A Sentry [account](https://sentry.io/signup/) and [project](https://docs.sentry.io/product/projects.md)
* An Elysia application (`v1.4.0+`)
* Bun or Node.js 18+ (with [@elysiajs/node](https://elysiajs.com/integrations/node) adapter)

## [Install](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/elysia.md#install)

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

Error Monitoring\[ ]Tracing\[ ]Logs

* [**Issues**](https://docs.sentry.io/product/issues.md) (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**](https://docs.sentry.io/product/tracing.md):
  <!-- -->
  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.
* [**Logs**](https://docs.sentry.io/product/explore/logs.md):
  <!-- -->
  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.

### [Install the Sentry SDK](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/elysia.md#install-the-sentry-sdk)

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

You do **not** need `@elysiajs/opentelemetry`. The `@sentry/elysia` SDK handles all instrumentation natively.

```bash
bun add @sentry/elysia
```

## [Configure](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/elysia.md#configure)

Call `Sentry.init()` before creating your Elysia app, then wrap the app with `Sentry.withElysia()` before defining routes.

`index.ts`

```javascript
import * as Sentry from "@sentry/elysia";
import { Elysia } from "elysia";

Sentry.init({
  dsn: "___PUBLIC_DSN___",
  // Adds request headers and IP for users, for more info visit:
  // https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/elysia/configuration/options/#sendDefaultPii
  sendDefaultPii: true,
  // ___PRODUCT_OPTION_START___ 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/guides/elysia/configuration/options/#tracesSampleRate
  tracesSampleRate: 1.0,
  // ___PRODUCT_OPTION_END___ performance
  // ___PRODUCT_OPTION_START___ logs

  // Enable logs to be sent to Sentry
  enableLogs: true,
  // ___PRODUCT_OPTION_END___ logs
});

// withElysia returns the app instance, so you can chain routes directly
const app = Sentry.withElysia(new Elysia())
  .get("/", () => "Hello World")
  .listen(3000);
```

### [Customize Automatic Error Capturing (Optional)](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/elysia.md#customize-automatic-error-capturing-optional)

The SDK captures 5xx errors automatically via a global `onError` hook. Client errors (3xx/4xx) are not captured by default. You can customize which errors are captured using the `shouldHandleError` option.

```javascript
const app = Sentry.withElysia(new Elysia(), {
  shouldHandleError: (context) => {
    const status = context.set.status;
    return status === 500 || status === 503;
  },
});
```

### [Add Readable Stack Traces With Source Maps (Optional)](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/elysia.md#add-readable-stack-traces-with-source-maps-optional)

The stack traces in your Sentry errors probably won't look like your actual code without unminifying them. To fix this, upload your source maps to Sentry. The easiest way to do this is by using the Sentry Wizard.

Alternatively, take a look at our [Uploading Source Maps](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/elysia/sourcemaps/uploading.md) documentation.

```bash
npx @sentry/wizard@latest -i sourcemaps
```

## [Verify Your Setup](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/elysia.md#verify-your-setup)

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

### [Issues](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/elysia.md#issues)

First, let's verify that Sentry captures errors and creates issues in your Sentry project. Add the following route to your app, which triggers an error that Sentry will capture:

```javascript
app.get("/debug-sentry", () => {
  throw new Error("My first Sentry error!");
});
```

### [Tracing](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/elysia.md#tracing)

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

```javascript
app.get("/debug-sentry", async () => {
  await Sentry.startSpan(
    {
      op: "test",
      name: "My First Test Transaction",
    },
    async () => {
      await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 100));
      throw new Error("My first Sentry error!");
    },
  );
});
```

### [Logs NEW](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/elysia.md#logs-)

To verify that Sentry catches your logs, add some log statements to your application:

```javascript
Sentry.logger.info("User example action completed");

Sentry.logger.warn("Slow operation detected", {
  operation: "data_fetch",
  duration: 3500,
});

Sentry.logger.error("Validation failed", {
  field: "email",
  reason: "Invalid email",
});
```

### [View Captured Data in Sentry](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/elysia.md#view-captured-data-in-sentry)

Finally, head over to your project on [Sentry.io](https://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?

* Open the
  <!-- -->
  [**Issues**](https://sentry.io/orgredirect/organizations/:orgslug/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](https://docs.sentry.io/product/sentry-basics/integrate-frontend/generate-first-error.md#ui-walkthrough).
* Open the
  <!-- -->
  [**Traces**](https://sentry.io/orgredirect/organizations/:orgslug/explore/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](https://docs.sentry.io/product/sentry-basics/distributed-tracing/generate-first-error.md#ui-walkthrough).
* Open the
  <!-- -->
  [**Logs**](https://sentry.io/orgredirect/organizations/:orgslug/explore/logs/)
  <!-- -->
  page and filter by service, environment, or search keywords to view log entries from your application. For an interactive UI walkthrough, click
  <!-- -->
  [here](https://docs.sentry.io/product/explore/logs.md#overview).
