Error Boundaries

Part of the Frontend Developer Roadmap.

Summary

Special components that catch JavaScript errors anywhere in their child component tree and render a fallback UI instead of crashing the whole app.

How to Learn This

  • 1Build a simple error boundary class component with `getDerivedStateFromError`.
  • 2Wrap a risky part of your app (e.g. a widget with external data) in one.
  • 3Learn error boundaries only catch render-time errors, not event handler errors.
