Overview
LogRocket is a frontend monitoring tool that specializes in session replay. It records user sessions as pixel-perfect video reconstructions, capturing DOM changes, network requests, console logs, and JavaScript errors. When a user reports a bug, you can watch exactly what they experienced.
Unlike traditional error tracking that shows you a stack trace, LogRocket shows you the complete context: what the user clicked, what they saw, what network requests were made, and what the application state looked like at the moment of the error. This dramatically reduces the time to reproduce and fix issues.
LogRocket integrates with state management libraries (Redux, Vuex, NgRx) to capture state changes alongside the session replay, providing full visibility into application behavior.
When to Use
Choose LogRocket when understanding user experience is critical and you need to see exactly what users encounter. It is most valuable for complex frontend applications where bugs are hard to reproduce.
Getting Started
npm install logrocket
import LogRocket from 'logrocket'
LogRocket.init('your-app/project-id')
