A browser to server unhandled exception logger. Supports CommonJS/AMD/VanillaJS.

npm install uhoh

bower install uhoh

<script src="/js/uhoh.js"></script>
<script>
  uhoh('/logs');
</script>

After that, uhoh will catch unhandled exceptions and send GET requests to the /logs route with errors in the following format:

/logs?error=%7B%22message%22%3A%22Uncaught%20Error%3A%20uh%20oh%22%2C%22script%22%3A%22http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A3000%2F%22%2C%22line%22%3A3%2C%22column%22%3A9%2C%22stack%22%3A%22Error%3A%20uh%20oh%5Cn%20%20%20%20at%20http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A3000%2F%3A3%3A9%5Cn%20%20%20%20at%20http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A3000%2F%3A4%3A3%22%7D

Where the error value is just encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify(errorObject)). So for the servers to use the error, it needs to decodeURIComponent (or comparable given the language/framework) and then parse the JSON string to arrive at an error object that looks like:

{
  "message": {string},
  "script": {string},
  "line": {number},
  "column": {number},
  "stack": {string}  
}

The existence of keys/values in the error object are dependent upon browser support.

var uhoh = require('uhoh');
/**
 * Call uhoh without arguments:
 * uhoh will make GET requests to /logs when an unhandled
 * exception occurs
 */
uhoh();

/**
 * Call uhoh with a route:
 * uhoh will make GET requests to the provided route on unhandled exceptions
 */
uhoh('/my-logs-path');

define(['uhoh'], function(uhoh) {
  /**
   * Call uhoh with a callback:
   * uhoh will not make requests to the server but will
   * callback with an object and an optional error
   */
  uhoh(function(info, err) {
    /**
     *  info looks like:
     *  {
     *    message: {string}, // error message
     *    script: {string},  // filename of script file where the error occurred
     *    line: {number},    // the line number where the error occurred
     *    column: {number},  // the column number where the error occurred
     *    stack: {string}    // the stack trace
     *  }
     *  err (if available) is an instanceof Error
     *  
     *  Some values will not be provided depending on what the browser supports
     */
  });
});

/**
 * Call uhoh with a route and callback
 */
uhoh('/my-log-route', function(info, err) {
  // Maybe do things with info or err
});
