Error Boundaries in Practice

Explore how to implement and manage nested error boundaries in React applications to isolate component errors effectively. Learn best practices for keeping error boundaries independent and granular to ensure that errors in one part do not affect the entire app, helping you maintain a stable user interface.

Multiple nested error boundaries

We now know how to implement an Error Boundary by adding either static getDerivedStateFromError() or componentDidCatch() to our components. Error boundaries should not implement their own logic, should not be too tightly coupled to other components, and should be as independent as possible. It is at the developer’s discretion to decide how granular the error boundary should be according to the specific use case.

It’s a good idea to implement different and nested error boundaries to cater to various errors, such as one error boundary that wraps around the whole application and ...
