# Safely

```ruby
safely do
  # keep going if this code fails
end
```

Exceptions are rescued and automatically reported to your favorite reporting service.

In development and test environments, exceptions are raised so you can fix them.

## Use It Everywhere

“Oh no, analytics brought down search”

```ruby
safely { track_search(params) }
```

“Recommendations stopped updating because of one bad user”

```ruby
users.each do |user|
  safely { update_recommendations(user) }
end
```

Also aliased as `yolo`.

## Features

Specify a default value to return on exceptions

```ruby
show_banner = safely(default: true) { show_banner_logic }
```

Raise specific exceptions

```ruby
safely except: ActiveRecord::RecordNotUnique do
  # all other exceptions will be rescued
end
```

Pass an array for multiple exception classes.

Rescue only specific exceptions

```ruby
safely only: ActiveRecord::RecordNotUnique do
  # all other exceptions will be raised
end
```

Silence exceptions

```ruby
safely silence: ActiveRecord::RecordNotUnique do
  # code
end
```

Throttle reporting with:

```ruby
safely throttle: {limit: 10, period: 1.minute} do
  # reports only first 10 exceptions each minute
end
```

**Note:** The throttle limit is approximate and per process.

## Reporting

Reports exceptions to a variety of services out of the box thanks to [Errbase](https://github.com/ankane/errbase).

- [Airbrake](https://airbrake.io/)
- [Appsignal](https://appsignal.com/)
- [Bugsnag](https://bugsnag.com/)
- [Exceptional](http://www.exceptional.io/)
- [Honeybadger](https://www.honeybadger.io/)
- [Opbeat](https://opbeat.com/)
- [Raygun](https://raygun.io/)
- [Rollbar](https://rollbar.com/)

Customize reporting with:

```ruby
Safely.report_exception_method = -> (e) { Rollbar.error(e) }
```

By default, exception messages are prefixed with `[safely]`. This makes it easier to spot rescued exceptions. Turn this off with:

```ruby
Safely.tag = false
```

To report exceptions manually:

```ruby
Safely.report_exception(e)
```
