Integrations
One of the core components of Hawk is Catchers.
Catcher is a small library, that you can install into your application and it will catch all errors that occurred in runtime and send them to the Hawk.
Hawk offers several officially supported Catchers. You can find the Catchers list and links to the GitHub repository with links below.
If you don't see a Catcher for your app's language, create it by yourself. Read the document "How create a Catcher".
A Catcher can bind to the global error handler and catch all unhandled errors to send them to the Hawk.
A User can use Catcher in order to send an event to the Hawk manually, with a simple method call (e.g. hawk.send(new Error()) or hawk.send('Your message')).
A Catcher has the ability to specify a custom context in an event in order to send it to the Hawk with the event.
Context is any data that the user can send along with the event in order to view it in the Event overview. This can be extremely useful when debugging an application.
It is possible to specify user data while sending an event for easily debugging.
Addons are additional information about an event that can help you debug it. Addons are built automatically. Use context if you need to send custom data.
If you want to filter some event's data before sending it to the Hawk (e.g. bank cards numbers, tokens, etc), you can specify before send hook, that fires every time before sending an event. With this hook, you can remove fields and values which contain sensitive information.
If you're migrating from Sentry SDK, simply change the `dsn` option in your sentry configuration to Hawk. Example
