# alplus_sdk
Error reporting for [AL+ Observe](https://alplus.dev). Elixir and Phoenix.
## Install
```elixir
# mix.exs
{:alplus_sdk, "~> 0.1"}
```
Set `ALPLUS_KEY` (an ingest key with the `ingest` scope).
## Phoenix
```elixir
# application.ex
children = [
{AlplusSDK, []},
MyAppWeb.Endpoint
]
# endpoint.ex, first plug
plug AlplusSDK.Plug
```
`start_link/1` attaches the OTP logger handler and Phoenix
`[:phoenix, :error_rendered]`. Unhandled crashes become Observe events.
The plug opens a crash-free session per request.
Identify the current user after the plug:
```elixir
AlplusSDK.set_user(%{id: user.id, email: user.email})
AlplusSDK.set_tag("org_id", org.id)
```
## Capture
```elixir
try do
risky()
rescue
exception ->
AlplusSDK.capture_exception(exception, stacktrace: __STACKTRACE__)
end
AlplusSDK.capture_message("low disk space", "warning")
```
Both calls return an `err_` event id and never raise, even if AL+ is
unreachable.
## Heartbeat
```elixir
AlplusSDK.heartbeat(token)
AlplusSDK.heartbeat(token, :fail)
```
Token is the auth. A running client is not required.
## Config
Env vars: `ALPLUS_KEY`, `ALPLUS_ENDPOINT`, `ALPLUS_ENVIRONMENT`,
`ALPLUS_RELEASE`.
Explicit `start_link/1` opts win. `config.exs` is the middle layer:
```elixir
config :alplus_sdk, config: [
environment: "production",
sample_rate: 0.5,
before_send: &MyApp.Observe.scrub/1
]
```
`before_send` receives the built item. Return `nil` to drop it. A raise
sends the original item.
Set `enabled?: false` to no-op capture. A missing key is then allowed.
## Tests
```elixir
start_supervised!({AlplusSDK, key: "alp_test", test: true})
AlplusSDK.capture_exception(%RuntimeError{message: "boom"})
AlplusSDK.flush()
[item] = AlplusSDK.Test.events()
assert item["exception"]["value"] == "boom"
```
Nothing hits the network.
## Development
```
cd sdks/elixir
export ALPLUS_CONTRACT_DIR=../../sdks/contract
mix deps.get
mix test
```
