Anonymous: Hi! I am trying to use the new Session Replay feature. We are currently using statsig-react so I am trying to migrate to @statsig/js-client. However, has this new SDK fully supporting hooks like useConfig, useExperiment etc? My app cannot load the configs properly after switching the way I initialize the client. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Statbot: The documentation does not mention a “Session Replay” feature or the migration process from statsig-react to @statsig/js-client. However, it does provide information on hooks like useConfig and useExperiment which are available in the statsig-react SDK. These hooks are used to get a Statsig Dynamic Config and a Statsig Experiment, respectively, and they return a ConfigResult with an isLoading state and the actual config or experiment data (https://docs.statsig.com/client/reactSDK|source).

If your app is not loading configs properly after switching SDKs, here are some general debugging steps you can take:

1. Ensure that you have followed the correct initialization process for the @statsig/js-client SDK, as the initialization process might differ from statsig-react.
2. Verify that the SDK key is correct and that you are passing the necessary user object if required.
3. Check if there are any errors in the console that could give more insight into what might be going wrong.
4. Make sure that the hooks are being used within the context of a StatsigProvider if such a context is required by the new SDK.
5. Review the migration guide or documentation provided by Statsig for any specific instructions on migrating from statsig-react to @statsig/js-client.

If you continue to experience issues, please share the specific error messages or behaviors you’re encountering so that a Statsig team member can assist you further.

Daniel (Statsig): Hey, you need to migrate to @statsig/js-client and @statsig/react-bindings. The docs could be a little clearer around this, I will update them.

Daniel (Statsig): Here is an example using the @statsig/react-bindings package: https://github.com/statsig-io/js-client-monorepo/blob/main/samples/react/src/ClientEventStreamExamplePage.tsx#L6

Anonymous: Hi Daniel - thanks for the help. I will update the gate check using client.checkGate() per the example. Thank you!
