Handle API errors in React by using a dedicated hook to standardize raw API responses into user-friendly messages. This ensures consistent error presentation and prevents raw error exposure during data fetching.

A React ErrorBoundary catches rendering errors within the component tree. Wrap route components with it to prevent full application crashes and enable graceful recovery with consistent loading, error, and empty states.

Add a retry option for failed data fetching by integrating a standardized API error utility with reusable UI components. This enables graceful recovery by providing users with actionable retry choices instead of dead-end error screens.

Yes, this React error handling approach works without external dependencies. It utilizes a reusable ErrorBoundary and a dedicated API error hook to manage loading, error, and empty states directly within your component structure.

The best way to standardize loading, error, and empty states in React is to implement reusable UI components combined with an API error handling hook. This ensures consistent user experiences across data fetching, route rendering, and user interactions.
