Introduction

django-smokealarm is a package designed to collect front-end JavaScript errors and expose them in the admin backend for later inspection.

Requirements

Django 1.4 (it may work with older versions, but I haven't tested this)

Installation

Add smokealarm to your INSTALLED_APPS.

Add smokealarm to your URLConf, using something like this:

urlpatterns += patterns("",
    url(r"^smokealarm/", include("smokealarm.urls")),
)

Add smokealarm to your base template, using something like this:

<script src="{% static "js/smokealarm.js" %}"></script>
<script>smokealarm_url = "{% url smokealarm_report %}";</script>

Usage

As JavaScript errors occur in the front end, browsers will make posts to the smokealarm_report URL. The subsequently created models are available in your backend admin.
