Document and test ErrorBoundary

[bruno-garcia]

Perhaps some of the JS docs could be moved to an include and reused. But here we need to document why it's needed vs bubbling to the unhandled exception integration. And when/how the white screen rendering happens.

We have a user reported issue that the fallback isnt' working on React Native. Consider adding this test case to e2e.

This issue has gone three weeks without activity. In another week, I will close it.

But! If you comment or otherwise update it, I will reset the clock, and if you label it Status: Backlog or Status: In Progress, I will leave it alone ... forever!

@bruno-garcia can you link where this is already documented for JS?

I guess its https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/react/components/errorboundary/ just to confirm, is it a React thing only?

Yes

Is ErrorBoundary (import { ErrorBoundary } from '@sentry/react-native') supposed to be used & working?

I can't find docs about it but the export from @sentry/react-native definitely exists.

Hi, the ErrorBoundary should work the same as in Browser React.

Here are docs for it: https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/react/features/error-boundary/
