Unhandled React Error Crashing App

Single component error crashes entire app. White screen or error overlay shown to users. No graceful error handling. Error in child component propagates up.

React Error Boundaries catch errors in component trees. Prevents entire app from crashing due to single component error.

Error Messages You Might See

Uncaught Error White screen with error Component error boundary failed
Uncaught ErrorWhite screen with errorComponent error boundary failed

Common Causes

  1. No error boundary in component tree
  2. Error occurs outside component (event handler, async)
  3. Error boundary can't catch itself's errors
  4. Error thrown in child but not caught
  5. No fallback UI for error state

How to Fix It

Create Error Boundary component:

class ErrorBoundary extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = { hasError: false, error: null };
  }

  static getDerivedStateFromError(error) {
    return { hasError: true, error };
  }

  render() {
    if (this.state.hasError) {
      return 
Error: {this.state.error?.message}
; } return this.props.children; } }

Frequently Asked Questions

Do error boundaries catch all errors?

No, only render/lifecycle errors. Won't catch event handlers or async. Use try-catch there.

Can I have multiple boundaries?

Yes, nest them. Each catches errors in its subtree. Useful for isolating failures.
