Example of React ErrorBoundary (by Dan Abramov)
class ErrorBoundary extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = { error: null, errorInfo: null };
}
componentDidCatch(error, errorInfo) {
// Catch errors in any components below and re-render with error message
this.setState({
error: error,
errorInfo: errorInfo
})
// You can also log error messages to an error reporting service here
}
render() {
if (this.state.errorInfo) {
// Error path
return (
<div>
<h2>Something went wrong.</h2>
<details style={{ whiteSpace: 'pre-wrap' }}>
{this.state.error && this.state.error.toString()}
<br />
{this.state.errorInfo.componentStack}
</details>
</div>
);
}
// Normally, just render children
return this.props.children;
}
}
class BuggyCounter extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = { counter: 0 };
this.handleClick = this.handleClick.bind(this);
}
handleClick() {
this.setState(({counter}) => ({
counter: counter + 1
}));
}
render() {
if (this.state.counter === 5) {
// Simulate a JS error
throw new Error('I crashed!');
}
return <h1 onClick={this.handleClick}>{this.state.counter}</h1>;
}
}
function App() {
return (
<div>
<p>
<b>
This is an example of error boundaries in React 16.
<br /><br />
Click on the numbers to increase the counters.
<br />
The counter is programmed to throw when it reaches 5. This simulates a JavaScript error in a component.
</b>
</p>
<hr />
<ErrorBoundary>
<p>These two counters are inside the same error boundary. If one crashes, the error boundary will replace both of them.</p>
<BuggyCounter />
<BuggyCounter />
</ErrorBoundary>
<hr />
<p>These two counters are each inside of their own error boundary. So if one crashes, the other is not affected.</p>
<ErrorBoundary><BuggyCounter /></ErrorBoundary>
<ErrorBoundary><BuggyCounter /></ErrorBoundary>
</div>
);
}
ReactDOM.render(
<App />,
document.getElementById('root')
);
