docs(react-native): Document GlobalErrorBoundary for fatal non-render errors#17392
Conversation
… errors Adds a "Showing a Fallback UI for Fatal Errors" subsection covering Sentry.GlobalErrorBoundary (and the withGlobalErrorBoundary HOC), the includeNonFatalGlobalErrors and includeUnhandledRejections opt-ins, reset semantics, and a migration note replacing the hand-rolled ErrorUtils.setGlobalHandler + DeviceEventEmitter + ErrorBoundary pattern the page previously recommended. Updates the top-of-page warning and the Non-Render Errors intro to link to the new section. The companion SDK change adding the component ships in getsentry/sentry-react-native#6023.

LGTM let's merge after the feature is released 🚀
I wonder if we can also cover this older issue getsentry/sentry-react-native#1775 while we are on it and close it 🙇

LEGAL BOILERPLATE
Look, I get it. The entity doing business as "Sentry" was incorporated in the State of Delaware in 2015 as Functional Software, Inc. and is gonna need some rights from me in order to utilize my contributions in this here PR. So here's the deal: I retain all rights, title and interest in and to my contributions, and by keeping this boilerplate intact I confirm that Sentry can use, modify, copy, and redistribute my contributions, under Sentry's choice of terms.
