React Router v4 and v5

Learn about Sentry's React Router v4 / v5 integration.

Make sure you use a Router component combined with createBrowserHistory (or equivalent).

To get parameterized transaction names (for example, /teams/:teamid/user/:userid instead of /teams/123/user/345), you must explicitly set the routes you want parameterized. That's because there is no static route config that the SDK can use in React Router v4/v5.

We recommend you use the withSentryRouting higher order component to create a SentryRoute component that will update the match path on render.

Copied
import {Route, Router, Switch } from 'react-router-dom';

import { createBrowserHistory } from 'history';

import * as Sentry from '@sentry/react';

// Create Custom Sentry Route component

const SentryRoute = Sentry.withSentryRouting(Route);


const history = createBrowserHistory();

Sentry.init({
  dsn: "https://examplePublicKey@o0.ingest.sentry.io/0",
  integrations: [

    Sentry.reactRouterV5BrowserTracingIntegration({ history }),
    // OR
    Sentry.reactRouterV4BrowserTracingIntegration({ history }),

  ],

  // We recommend adjusting this value in production, or using tracesSampler
  // for finer control
  tracesSampleRate: 1.0,
});

render() {
  return (
    <Router history={history}>
      <Switch>

        <SentryRoute path="/users/:userid" component={() => <div>UserId</div>} />
        <SentryRoute path="/users" component={() => <div>Users</div>} />
        <SentryRoute path="/" component={() => <div>Home</div>} />

      </Switch>
    </Router>
  );
}

If you don't want to wrap individual routes, you can still specify parameterized routes manually by passing an array of route config objects, per react-router-config, to the instrumentation function call. You'll also need to provide the matchPath function exported from the react-router-dom or react-router packages.

Copied
import { Route, Router, Switch, matchPath } from 'react-router-dom';

import { createBrowserHistory } from 'history';

import * as Sentry from '@sentry/react';

const history = createBrowserHistory();


// Array of Route Config Objects
// Make sure the order of the routes is correct. The longest url under the same parent should be placed first and in decreasing order.
const routes = [{ path: '/users/:userid' }, { path: '/users' }, { path: '/' }];


Sentry.init({
  dsn: "https://examplePublicKey@o0.ingest.sentry.io/0",
  integrations: [

    Sentry.reactRouterV5BrowserTracingIntegration({
      history,
      routes,
      matchPath
    }),

  ],

  // We recommend adjusting this value in production, or using tracesSampler
  // for finer control
  tracesSampleRate: 1.0,
});

// In your App render:
render() {
  return (
    <Router history={history}>
      <Switch>
         <Route path="/users/:userid" component={() => <div>UserId</div>} />
         <Route path="/users" component={() => <div>Users</div>} />
         <Route path="/" component={() => <div>Home</div>} />
      </Switch>
    </Router>
  );
}
