A guide to implementing React error monitoring across three levels: render-level (error boundaries and try-catch), business-level (silent logical errors via validation), and global-level (root node callbacks introduced in React v19). Covers enriching errors with user, session, and application context including identifiers, browser data, and geographic info. Also addresses sanitizing error messages to prevent PII leaks and CWE-1295 vulnerabilities. The post concludes by showing how Datadog Error Tracking automates collection, enrichment, grouping, and AI-assisted investigation of React errors from both browser and React Native apps.
