yeller-clojure-client

A Clojure library for sending exceptions to yellerapp.com

Installation

Basic Usage

Make a client with yeller.clojure.client/client:

(require '[yeller.clojure.client :as yeller])

(def client (yeller/client {:token "YOUR API TOKEN HERE"}))

Report an exception:

(yeller/report client my-exception)

There are a bunch of configuration options for the client, and a method for attaching additional context to the exception report. See the doc strings for client and report for more on those.

Ring Middleware

This client ships with a ring middleware for automatically catching exceptions. If you're building a ring app, likely this is how your app should interface with yeller:

(yeller.clojure.ring/wrap-ring my-handler {:token "YOUR TOKEN HERE"
                                           :environment "production"})

Uncaught Exception Handler

Yeller's client returns an object that satisfies java.lang.Thread.UnhandledExceptionHandler. To set it as the default uncaught thread exception handler:

(Thread/setDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler yeller-client)

Note that it does not do this by default - touching global mutable state across the JVM in libraries is real bad.

Robustness

This client builds on top of the java client

As such, it inherits that client's retry functionality - if there's an error communicating with yeller's servers, the client will retry multiple times.
