Implement comprehensive error handling to prevent crashes and aid debugging. This includes:
// Before
const data = JSON.parse(message.text || "{}");
// After
let data;
try {
data = JSON.parse(message.text || "{}");
} catch (error) {
console.error("Failed to parse message data:", error);
data = {}; // Provide fallback value
}
class ErrorBoundary extends Component<ErrorProps, ErrorState> {
constructor(props: ErrorProps) {
super(props);
this.state = {};
}
static getDerivedStateFromError(error: unknown) {
return {
error: error instanceof Error ? (error.stack ?? error.message) : `${error}`,
};
}
// Add this method to capture additional context
componentDidCatch(error: Error, info: React.ErrorInfo) {
// Log to monitoring system with context
logErrorToService({
error,
componentStack: info.componentStack,
timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
additionalContext: this.props.contextData
});
}
render() {
if (this.state.error) {
return <ErrorDisplay error={this.state.error} />;
}
return this.props.children;
}
}
This approach ensures your application degrades gracefully when errors occur while providing the information needed to fix underlying issues.
