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
Common Causes
- No error boundary in component tree
- Error occurs outside component (event handler, async)
- Error boundary can't catch itself's errors
- Error thrown in child but not caught
- 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;
}
}
