## Package Discontinued

The `@sentry/angular-ivy` package was discontinued with the release of version 8.0.0 of `@sentry/angular`. The v8
`@sentry/angular` package is now fully compatible with Ivy by default, making this package obsolete. Furthermore, new
Angular versions (18+) are supported in version 8.

To upgrade to v8, follow the
[Angular SDK migration guide](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/angular/migration/v7-to-v8/).

## Angular Version Compatibility

This SDK officially supports Angular 12 to 17 with Angular's new rendering engine, Ivy.

If you're using Angular 10, 11 or a newer Angular version with View Engine instead of Ivy, please use [`@sentry/angular`](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/blob/develop/packages/angular/README.md).

If you're using an older version of Angular and experience problems with the Angular SDK, we recommend downgrading the SDK to version 6.x.
Please note that we don't provide any support for Angular versions below 10.

## General

This package is a wrapper around `@sentry/browser`, with added functionality related to Angular. All methods available
in `@sentry/browser` can be imported from `@sentry/angular-ivy`.

To use this SDK, call `Sentry.init(options)` before you bootstrap your Angular application.

```javascript
import { enableProdMode } from '@angular/core';
import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
import { init } from '@sentry/angular-ivy';

import { AppModule } from './app/app.module';

init({
  dsn: '__DSN__',
  // ...
});

// ...

enableProdMode();
platformBrowserDynamic()
  .bootstrapModule(AppModule)
  .then(success => console.log(`Bootstrap success`))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));
```

### ErrorHandler

`@sentry/angular-ivy` exports a function to instantiate an ErrorHandler provider that will automatically send Javascript errors
captured by the Angular's error handler.

```javascript
import { NgModule, ErrorHandler } from '@angular/core';
import { createErrorHandler } from '@sentry/angular-ivy';

@NgModule({
  // ...
  providers: [
    {
      provide: ErrorHandler,
      useValue: createErrorHandler({
        showDialog: true,
      }),
    },
  ],
  // ...
})
export class AppModule {}
```

Additionally, `createErrorHandler` accepts a set of options that allows you to configure its behavior. For more details
see `ErrorHandlerOptions` interface in `src/errorhandler.ts`.

### Tracing

`@sentry/angular-ivy` exports a Trace Service, Directive and Decorators that leverage the tracing features to add
Angular-related spans to transactions. If tracing is not enabled, this functionality will not work. The SDK's
`TraceService` itself tracks route changes and durations, while directive and decorators are tracking components
initializations.

#### Install

Registering a Trace Service is a 3-step process.

1. Register and configure the `BrowserTracing` integration, including custom Angular routing
   instrumentation:

```javascript
import { init, browserTracingIntegration } from '@sentry/angular-ivy';

init({
  dsn: '__DSN__',
 integrations: [
    browserTracingIntegration(),
  ],
  tracePropagationTargets: ['localhost', 'https://yourserver.io/api'],
  tracesSampleRate: 1,
});
```

2. Register `SentryTrace` as a provider in Angular's DI system, with a `Router` as its dependency:

```javascript
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { Router } from '@angular/router';
import { TraceService } from '@sentry/angular-ivy';

@NgModule({
  // ...
  providers: [
    {
      provide: TraceService,
      deps: [Router],
    },
  ],
  // ...
})
export class AppModule {}
```

3. Either require the `TraceService` from inside `AppModule` or use `APP_INITIALIZER` to force-instantiate Tracing.

```javascript
@NgModule({
  // ...
})
export class AppModule {
  constructor(trace: TraceService) {}
}
```

or

```javascript
import { APP_INITIALIZER } from '@angular/core';

@NgModule({
  // ...
  providers: [
    {
      provide: APP_INITIALIZER,
      useFactory: () => () => {},
      deps: [TraceService],
      multi: true,
    },
  ],
  // ...
})
export class AppModule {}
```

#### Use

To track Angular components as part of your transactions, you have 3 options.

_TraceDirective:_ used to track a duration between `OnInit` and `AfterViewInit` lifecycle hooks in template:

```javascript
import { TraceModule } from '@sentry/angular-ivy';

@NgModule({
  // ...
  imports: [TraceModule],
  // ...
})
export class AppModule {}
```

Then, inside your component's template (keep in mind that the directive's name attribute is required):

```html
<app-header trace="header"></app-header>
<articles-list trace="articles-list"></articles-list>
<app-footer trace="footer"></app-footer>
```

_TraceClassDecorator:_ used to track a duration between `OnInit` and `AfterViewInit` lifecycle hooks in components:

```javascript
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { TraceClassDecorator } from '@sentry/angular-ivy';

@Component({
  selector: 'layout-header',
  templateUrl: './header.component.html',
})
@TraceClassDecorator()
export class HeaderComponent {
  // ...
}
```

_TraceMethodDecorator:_ used to track a specific lifecycle hooks as point-in-time spans in components:

```javascript
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { TraceMethodDecorator } from '@sentry/angular-ivy';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-footer',
  templateUrl: './footer.component.html',
})
export class FooterComponent implements OnInit {
  @TraceMethodDecorator()
  ngOnInit() {}
}
```

You can also add your own custom spans via `startSpan()`. For example, if you'd like to track the duration of Angular boostraping process, you can do it as follows:

```javascript
import { enableProdMode } from '@angular/core';
import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
import { init, startSpan } from '@sentry/angular';

import { AppModule } from './app/app.module';

// ...
startSpan({
  name: 'platform-browser-dynamic',
  op: 'ui.angular.bootstrap'
  },
  async () => {
    await platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule);
  }
);
```
