Frontend Logging

Definition

The practice of recording events, errors, and user interactions that happen in the browser and sending them to a centralized remote server. Unlike backend logging, `console.log` on the frontend is useless for production tracking.

Explain Like I'm New

Since you can't see the user's screen, the browser secretly sends a diary entry to your server every time the user clicks a button or gets an error.
