Sentry

Functions

`initSentry`

function initSentry()

TypeScript

Use initSentry to enable error tracking and performance monitoring for the skrypt documentation generator.

This is called once at process startup — before any scanning, generation, or CLI commands run — so that crashes and slow operations are captured and reported automatically.

It reads your SENTRY_DSN environment variable (falling back to the project's default DSN) and initializes the Sentry SDK with a 20% performance trace sample rate and the current NODE_ENV as the environment tag. No configuration is required on your end.

Returns: Nothing. Call it at the top of your entry point and move on — Sentry captures unhandled exceptions and slow traces from that point forward.

Heads up:

Set NODE_ENV=development locally if you want errors tagged separately from production traffic in the Sentry dashboard.
Traces are sampled at 20%, so not every request appears in Sentry's performance view — this is intentional to keep volume low.

Example:

import * as Sentry from '@sentry/node'

// Inline the same initialization logic that initSentry() performs internally
function initSentry() {
  const DSN =
    process.env.SENTRY_DSN ||
    'https://ae4ec6625486c40b92779937c5f6aa64@o4511084239781888.ingest.us.sentry.io/4511084253478912'

  Sentry.init({
    dsn: DSN,
    tracesSampleRate: 0.2,
    environment: process.env.NODE_ENV || 'production',
  })
}

// Call once at process startup, before any other logic runs
initSentry()

// From this point on, unhandled errors and slow operations are tracked
async function runDocGeneration() {
  try {
    // Simulate a documentation generation task
    const span = Sentry.startInactiveSpan({ name: 'generate-docs' })
    console.log('Generating docs...')
    // ... your generation logic here
    span.end()
    console.log('Sentry initialized with environment:', process.env.NODE_ENV || 'production')
    console.log('Traces sample rate: 20%')
  } catch (err) {
    Sentry.captureException(err)
    throw err
  }
}

runDocGeneration()
// => Generating docs...
// => Sentry initialized with environment: production
// => Traces sample rate: 20%
