# %Grip Integration

## Summary

%grip is a wrapper library that integrates with the Pharos agent to facilitate easy feedback submission by end users. Once an app integrates %grip, end users can fill out and submit forms for feedback. Upon submitting the feedback, the data is posted to the Pharos agent location determined by the %grip configuration. In addition to user-submitted tickets, %grip also supports auto-generating tickets via a client application’s ++on-fail arm.

## %grip Configuration

1. Configuring %grip is similar to using the dbug agent. Wrap your agent at the start of your agent file in `agent:grip`, right above `dbug` (if you use it).

```hoon
%- %- agent:grip
:*
~zod :: @p of a ship/star etc. where you'll have your %pharos app installed
*app-version :: curent version of the app
/apps/app :: path where your app located or rather where you would set up your button, this path will be used to host %grip page/form and on submiting form user will be rerdirected back to current path
==
```

2. %grip includes a page for feedback submission. This makes it easy for a developer to integrate a page for collecting user feedback.

In your agent application, configure the necessary UI elements to direct the end user to the page for form submission. An example would be a button or a-tag. This is the front-end element that redirects users to the %grip submission form fronted that will be hosted at `/report`.

3. **Form submission**: Once configured, users have the capability to provide feedback directly in the %grip form. The following fields are available:

- A checkbox through which a user can anonymize/de-anonymize.
- A drop-down selection for request type which currently includes feature requests, support requests, bug reports, documentation requests, and general requests.
- A title field for issue summary and a body field for issue details.

4. In the %grip form, “Settings” can also be configured. Currently, the only setting is the ability to enable/disable auto-generating tickets for submission to Pharos when the on-fail arm is called.

5. Auto-generated ++on-fail reporting is available through gripe. This can be enabled by the end user in the %grip settings. If enabled, %grip will attempt to send information to the respective Pharos agent when the on-fail arm is called. Auto-generated tickets will attempt to send +vats and an error trace.
