Summary

React.js is a popular solution for building dynamic and interactive web app frontends since its release in 2013. However, single-page React apps can introduce potential monitoring challenges such as difficulty gleaning insights from large volumes of route change data or collecting context around errors. To navigate these challenges, Datadog's Real User Monitoring team has built a set of React components that can be adapted and integrated into applications to provide more granular data and better insights. These include the React Router Tracker component for cleaner user page view data, the Error Boundary component for better context around errors, and the Context Provider component for appending stacktraces and custom attributes to recorded user actions.
