Bugsly Setup Guide for Svelte Applications

The Problem

Your Svelte application has bugs you don't know about yet. Error monitoring with Bugsly catches them before your users file complaints.

Quick Start with Bugsly

Getting error monitoring running in Svelte takes about five minutes. Here's how.

Install the SDK:

npm install @bugsly/svelte

Add the initialization code:

// hooks.client.js
import * as Bugsly from "@bugsly/svelte";

Bugsly.init({
  dsn: "YOUR_BUGSLY_DSN",
  tracesSampleRate: 1.0,
  integrations: [new Bugsly.BrowserTracing()],
});

That's it. Bugsly starts capturing events immediately. No additional configuration is required for basic error monitoring, though you'll want to customize the setup as your needs grow.

Going Beyond the Basics

The initial setup captures unhandled errors automatically. To get more value from your Svelte integration:

• Add breadcrumbs to trace user actions leading up to errors. This context is invaluable when debugging complex flows.
• Set up release health to track crash-free session rates across deployments. You'll know instantly if a release introduces regressions.
• Configure integrations with your existing tools. Bugsly connects with Slack, PagerDuty, Jira, GitHub, and more to fit into your workflow.

Why Bugsly for Svelte?

Bugsly's Svelte SDK is purpose-built to hook into the framework's internals. It captures framework-specific context, groups errors intelligently using stack trace analysis, and provides a timeline view of events. Your team spends less time reproducing bugs and more time shipping features.

Next Steps

Once error monitoring is live, set up issue ownership rules to automatically assign errors to the right team. Configure integration with your project management tool to create tickets from Bugsly issues. Enable weekly reports to track your team's progress on reducing error rates across releases.
