error-handling

React error boundaries isolate component failures by catching errors within specific application parts, preventing them from crashing the entire UI. Wrap your main application component with an ErrorBoundary to manage unhandled errors gracefully.

Integrate OpenTelemetry to trace exceptions by automatically recording errors and creating spans for error events. This provides detailed context for debugging distributed tracing systems when unexpected application issues arise.

The best way to handle GraphQL errors is configuring specific errorPolicy settings on your GraphQL client. This manages partial data and specific error types gracefully, ensuring queries fail without breaking the entire application state.

Implement retry logic for transient network issues using automatic retries with exponential backoff strategies. This approach sequentially repeats failed network requests, gradually increasing wait times to recover transient failures without overwhelming the server.

Yes, this error handling approach works with custom fallback UIs for user recovery. It designs user-friendly interfaces that inform users about errors and offer actionable recovery steps, like retrying an operation or navigating to a safe state.

Use error boundaries instead of standard try-catch blocks when you need to isolate UI rendering failures and display fallback UIs. Try-catch blocks handle logic errors, but error boundaries specifically prevent component tree crashes.
