Integrate Bugster SDK with Vue.js

This guide will help you integrate Bugster SDK into your Vue.js project.

​
Prerequisites

Before getting started, ensure you have:

  • A Vue.js project set up (version 3.0 or later)
  • Node.js and npm installed
  • A Bugster account with an API key

​
Step 1: Install the Bugster SDK

Install Bugster SDK using your package manager:

npm i @bugster/bugster-js

​
Step 2: Activate your plugin

Create a Bugster plugin to make the SDK accessible globally across your Vue application.

Create a new file src/plugins/bugsterPlugin.js with the following content:

// src/plugins/bugsterPlugin.js
import { BugsterTracker } from "@bugster/bugster-js";

const bugsterPlugin = {
  install(app, options) {
    // Initialize BugsterTracker
    const bugster = new BugsterTracker({
      apiKey: options.apiKey || "YOUR_API_KEY",
      endpoint: "https://i.bugster.app",
    });

    // Add the Bugster instance to the app's global context
    app.config.globalProperties.$bugster = bugster;

    // Optional: the tracker can also be provided for injection elsewhere
    app.provide("bugster", bugster);
  },
};

export default bugsterPlugin;

Or you can do it for Vue 2:

// src/plugins/bugsterPlugin.js
import { BugsterTracker } from "@bugster/bugster-js";

const bugsterPlugin = {
  install(Vue, options) {
    // Initialize BugsterTracker
    const bugster = new BugsterTracker({
      apiKey: options.apiKey || "YOUR_API_KEY",
      endpoint: "https://i.bugster.app",
    });

    // Set Bugster on the Vue prototype
    Vue.prototype.$bugster = bugster;

    // Optional: you can also provide the bugster for injection elsewhere
    Vue.prototype.$bugsterInstance = bugster;
  },
};

export default bugsterPlugin;

​
Step 3: Initialize the Bugster Plugin

In your main Vue application file (usually main.js or main.ts), initialize the Bugster plugin:

import { createApp } from "vue";
import App from "./App.vue";
import bugsterPlugin from "./plugins/bugsterPlugin";

const app = createApp(App);

app.use(bugsterPlugin, {
  apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
  endpoint: "https://i.bugster.app",
});

app.mount("#app");

Or you can do it for Vue 2:

// src/main.js
import Vue from "vue";
import App from "./App.vue";
import bugsterPlugin from "./plugins/bugsterPlugin";

Vue.use(bugsterPlugin, {
  apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
  endpoint: "https://i.bugster.app",
});

new Vue({
  render: (h) => h(App),
}).$mount("#app");
