[Tower](https://github.com/mimiquate/tower) reporter for [ErrorTracker](https://github.com/elixir-error-tracker/error-tracker).

## Installation

Package can be installed by adding `tower_error_tracker` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:

```elixir
def deps do
  [
    {:tower_error_tracker, "~> 0.3.3"}
  ]
end
```

## Usage

Tell `Tower` to inform `TowerErrorTracker` reporter about errors.

```elixir
# config/config.exs

config(
  :tower,
  :reporters,
  [
    # along any other possible reporters
    TowerErrorTracker
  ]
)
```

And configure and set up `:error_tracker` new database tables by following just these two ErrorTracker sections:

- [Configure](https://github.com/elixir-error-tracker/error-tracker/blob/main/guides/Getting%20Started.md#configuring-errortracker)
- [Set up the database](https://github.com/elixir-error-tracker/error-tracker/blob/main/guides/Getting%20Started.md#setting-up-the-database)


That's it.

It will try report any errors (exceptions, throws or abnormal exits) within your application. That includes errors in
any plug call (including Phoenix), Oban job, async task or any other Elixir process.

### Manual reporting

You can manually report errors just by informing `Tower` about any manually caught exceptions, throws or abnormal exits.


```elixir
try do
  # possibly crashing code
rescue
  exception ->
    Tower.report_exception(exception, __STACKTRACE__)
end
```
