[](https://hex.pm/packages/plugsnag)
Report errors in your Plug stack or whatever to [Bugsnag](https://bugsnag.com),
because that's a super great place to send your errors.
## Installation/Usage
Just throw it in your deps in your `mix.exs`:
```elixir
  defp deps do
    [{:plugsnag, "~> 1.4.0"}]
  end
```
Then you'll need to configure it with your API key as
per [the bugsnag-elixir docs](https://github.com/jarednorman/bugsnag-elixir).
To use the plug, `use` it in your router. For example in an Phoenix app:
```elixir
defmodule YourApp.Router do
  use Phoenix.Router
  use Plugsnag
  # ...
end
```
If you want to define your own `handle_errors` functions using [Plug.ErrorHandler](https://hexdocs.pm/plug/Plug.ErrorHandler.html), then you can call `Plugsnag.handle_errors/{2,3}` directly.
```elixir
defmodule YourApp.Router do
  use Phoenix.Router
  use Plug.ErrorHandler
  # ...
  defp handle_errors(conn, assigns) do
    Plugsnag.handle_errors(conn, assigns)
    # do your own handling
  end
end
```
### Filtering Parameters and Headers
By default, the `BasicErrorReportBuilder` will filter out password parameters from error reports sent to Bugsnag. You can customize this list inside your configuration:
```elixir
config :plugsnag, filter: [params: ~w(password password_confirmation super_sekrit), headers: []]
```
## Customizing error reporting
You can also customize how an error is sent to bugsnag-elixir by passing your
own custom ErrorReportBuilder with the `:error_report_builder` option.
```elixir
defmodule YourApp.Router do
  use Phoenix.Router
  use Plugsnag, error_report_builder: YourApp.ErrorReportBuilder
  # ...
end
```
```elixir
defmodule YourApp.ErrorReportBuilder do
  @behaviour Plugsnag.ErrorReportBuilder
  def build_error_report(error_report, conn) do
    error_report
    |> Plugsnag.BasicErrorReportBuilder.build_error_report(conn)
    |> put_user_info(conn)
  end
  defp put_user_info(error_report, conn) do
    current_user = conn.assigns[:current_user]
    user_info =  %{
      id: current_user.id
    }
    %{error_report | user: user_info}
  end
end
```
