define createReporter API

[eloytoro]

Motivation

As of today there's no easy way to send RUM errors or actions that share the same tags, this is something that makes a lot of sense if you wish to define scopes for your application that all share the same information.

There's also no way to supply a handledStack for specifying which part of the codebase is actually reporting the error or action

Changes

Introduce a new API that allows to specify a handling stack trace to addError (as well as addAction?)

{
  // ... rum public api methods
  createReporter: (component: string, conf?: ReporterConfiguration) => Reporter
  // ...
}
export interface Reporter {
  addAction: RumPublicApi['addAction']
  addError: RumPublicApi['addError']
}
export interface ReporterConfiguration {
  handlingStack?: string
  context?: object
}

This new createReporter method returns an object that has the addError method, but now when that method is called the supplied handlingStack will be used as well as all of the context passed to the configuration

const reporter = createReporer('MyComponent', {
  handlingStack: info.componentStack,
  context: { team: 'datadog' }
})
