Summary

Datadog's Real User Monitoring (RUM) team has developed React components that can be integrated into applications to collect more granular data and better insights from instrumented React apps. These components help navigate the challenges of single-page React applications, including monitoring route changes, getting context around errors, and tracking user actions. The components include the React Router Tracker, Error Boundary, Context Provider, and RumComponentContextProvider, which can be used to collect cleaner user page view data, better error context, append stacktraces and custom attributes to recorded user actions, and add more context to user actions, respectively. These components can be integrated into existing applications with minimal changes, providing a comprehensive solution for tracking user behavior and debugging issues in React applications.
