Using HoneybadgerJS vs using HoneybadgerVue or Honeybadger React

I'll start off by saying I absolutely love your mascot!

Next, excuse my ignorance, but I'm curious about the benefits of using Honeybadger Vue instead of just using Honeybadger JS for apps that are primarily built on Vue (Maybe 70% Vue 30% Rails ERB).

Thanks so much

P.S. What is your Mascot's name?

Hello @shawn-p-m,

Thank you for your kind words! Unfortunately, our mascot does not have a name yet, but we should come up with one soon! Feel free to share your thoughts :)

To answer your question:
Honeybadger Vue uses the core Honeybadger Js client. It registers an error handler for vue errors which allows reporting errors automatically to Honeybadger. It also sets up a $honeybadger variable available to all components for easier manual reporting.
You can install @honeybadger-io/vue for vue 2.x or @honeybadger-io/vue@next for vue 3.x.

Does this help?

Yes, that does help. Thank you!

No idea what the mascot should be named haha. Something awesome though for sure 😝. "Damian"?
