// Here's an example that shows how to log JavaScript errors that are logged in the global onerror handler. | |
// Note that some types of JavaScript errors, such as a parse error, cannot be logged with this method. | |
window.addEventListener('error', function(e) { | |
var errorText = [ | |
e.message, | |
'URL: ' + e.filename, | |
'Line: ' + e.lineno + ', Column: ' + e.colno, | |
'Stack: ' + (e.error && e.error.stack || '(no stack trace)') | |
].join('\n'); | |
// Example: log errors as visual output into the host page. | |
// Note: you probably don't want to show such errors to users, or | |
// have the errors get indexed by Googlebot; however, it may | |
// be a useful feature while actively debugging the page. | |
var DOM_ID = 'rendering-debug-pre'; | |
if (!document.getElementById(DOM_ID)) { | |
var log = document.createElement('pre'); | |
log.id = DOM_ID; | |
log.style.whiteSpace = 'pre-wrap'; | |
log.textContent = errorText; | |
if (!document.body) document.body = document.createElement('body'); | |
document.body.insertBefore(log, document.body.firstChild); | |
} else { | |
document.getElementById(DOM_ID).textContent += '\n\n' + errorText; | |
} | |
// Example: log the error to remote service. | |
// Note: you can log errors to a remote service, to understand | |
// and monitor the types of errors encountered by regular users, | |
// Googlebot, and other crawlers. | |
var client = new XMLHttpRequest(); | |
client.open('POST', 'https://example.com/logError'); | |
client.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain;charset=UTF-8'); | |
client.send(errorText); | |
}); |
