We just released our new suite of JavaScript packages. This repository contains the updated packages for our JavaScript, React, Vue, and Vite plugins.
What's new?
All packages have been updated so they can also run in a Node.js environment as they don't depend on browser APIs anymore. This is useful if you want to report errors from a Node server or during server side rendering. In addition, the default reporting endpoint has changed from flareapp.io/api/reports to reporting.flareapp.io/api/reports. Our reporting endpoint now runs through CloudFlare. The old one still works, but redirects to the new one. After upgrading, error notifications will land in your inbox approximately 200ms faster than before!
Upgrading
To upgrade, remove the previous @flareapp/* packages from your project's package.json. Then, install @flareapp/js:
npm i @flareapp/js --save
If you're using React or Vue, install one of our framework plugins too:
npm i @flareapp/react --save
npm i @flareapp/vue --save
If you're building assets with Vite, install our Vite plugin to upload your sourcemaps to Flare:
npm i @flareapp/vite --save-dev
All packages have the same API as their predecessors/ For detailed installation instructions, please refer to our documentation.
With this new foundation, we're excited to add more features and framework integrations in the future. Stay tuned!

Announcing performance monitoring for JavaScript applications
Until now, performance monitoring in Flare was a Laravel and PHP feature. Today we are releasing it for your JavaScript applications too. Monitor page loads, measure Core Web Vitals and profile your React, Svelte or Vue components.

Why we removed AI solutions from Flare
AI generated solutions are dead, long live AI generated solutions! We removed the old one-shot fixes from a model that could only see the stack trace. It simply couldn't compete with modern agentic AI. In their place, Flare works with the agentic AI tools you already use: an MCP server that handles real triage, a CLI with an agent skill, quick Copy for AI prompts in the UI and docs served as markdown. Hosted agents are in the works too.
