npm Packages
Releasing to npm is a critical part of the Sentry JavaScript SDK release process. Each package serves a specific purpose, and ensuring they are up-to-date and compatible is vital for developers using Sentry in their applications. The following npm packages are targeted for this release:
@sentry/types@sentry/core@sentry/node-core@sentry-internal/browser-utils@sentry-internal/replay@sentry/opentelemetry@sentry-internal/feedback@sentry-internal/replay-canvas@sentry/browser@sentry/node@sentry/profiling-node@sentry/node-native@sentry/angular@sentry/ember@sentry/react@sentry/solid@sentry/svelte@sentry/vue@sentry/wasm@sentry/vercel-edge@sentry/cloudflare@sentry/deno@sentry/aws-serverless@sentry/google-cloud-serverless@sentry/bun@sentry/nestjs@sentry/nextjs@sentry/nuxt@sentry/remix@sentry/solidstart@sentry/sveltekit@sentry/tanstackstart@sentry/tanstackstart-react@sentry/gatsby@sentry/astro@sentry/react-router@sentry-internal/typescript@sentry-internal/eslint-plugin-sdk@sentry-internal/eslint-config-sdk
These npm packages cover a wide range of environments and frameworks, ensuring that Sentry integrates seamlessly with various JavaScript applications. Each package is carefully tested and versioned to maintain compatibility and stability. The @sentry/ packages are the core of the Sentry JavaScript ecosystem, providing functionalities for error tracking, performance monitoring, and more. The @sentry-internal/ packages contain utilities and components that are used internally within Sentry's infrastructure. Releasing these packages involves updating their versions on the npm registry, making them available for developers to install and use in their projects. The process includes running tests, building the packages, and publishing them with the correct tags and metadata. It is crucial to verify that all dependencies are correctly specified and that the packages are compatible with the supported environments. The @sentry/browser and @sentry/node packages are particularly important, as they are the primary entry points for using Sentry in browser and Node.js applications, respectively. The @sentry/react, @sentry/angular, @sentry/vue, and other framework-specific packages provide integrations that simplify the process of using Sentry with these frameworks. Ensuring that these packages are up-to-date and compatible with the latest versions of the frameworks is essential for providing a smooth developer experience. The @sentry/opentelemetry package enables integration with OpenTelemetry, allowing developers to correlate Sentry data with other telemetry data sources. This is becoming increasingly important as more organizations adopt OpenTelemetry for their observability needs. Releasing this package involves ensuring that it is compatible with the latest OpenTelemetry specifications and that it provides a seamless integration experience. Each package has its own set of tests and build processes, and the release process ensures that all of these are executed correctly. This includes running unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end tests to verify that the packages are functioning as expected. The release process also includes generating documentation for the packages, which is essential for developers to understand how to use them. The documentation is typically generated from the code using tools like JSDoc or TypeScript's documentation generator. The release process ensures that the documentation is up-to-date and accurate. Finally, the release process includes verifying that the packages are correctly configured for use with Sentry's backend infrastructure. This includes ensuring that the packages are sending data to the correct endpoints and that they are using the correct authentication credentials. This verification is typically done by running integration tests that simulate real-world usage of the packages. With the latest updates, these packages are more robust, efficient, and user-friendly, ensuring that developers have the best possible experience when integrating Sentry into their projects. This release cycle is focused on improving performance and reducing overhead, which are critical for maintaining a smooth and responsive application experience. Proper version control and dependency management are crucial to ensuring that Sentry integrates seamlessly into any JavaScript environment. The team continues to work hard to deliver high-quality software that meets the needs of its users, making this release a significant milestone in the evolution of Sentry JavaScript.
Other Targets
