Error Handling

Error boundaries (in React 16+)

Use componentDidCatch in the Error Boundary component and wrap your error prone child components or the whole App inside this Error Boundary component.

Error boundaries cannot catch errors that could happen in some async call or in some event handler

Use try-catch and window.onerror

handle errors in catch blocks, throw meaningful errors and propogate errors up till window

have a Global Logger provider to Log errors to your cloud watch or somewhere in server

call this global logger in window.onerror

Use Sentry or Catch.js to log the errors that happen on client side to the server
