why beforeSend can not handle transaction event

[theWorkFsz]

hey guys

I thought beforeSend would handle all events, but I see from the code that it seems to filter the events for transction type

Is this a feature or a bug?

Why can't beforeSend handle events of type transction or how do I configure it if I want to handle this type of event?

Hey! This is an intentional feature.

See the rationale behind the decision here: https://develop.sentry.dev/sdk/performance/#interaction-with-beforesend-and-event-processors

To filter out transactions, use the event processor api available in the sdk.
