What is react-error-overlay?

The react-error-overlay package is used to display an overlay in your React application during development that shows runtime errors, including stack traces. It is commonly included in development environments like Create React App to improve the developer experience by providing clear and immediate feedback on errors that occur during development.

What are react-error-overlay's main functionalities?

Displaying runtime errors in an overlay

This feature allows developers to display a full-screen overlay in their React application when a runtime error occurs. The overlay includes the error message, stack trace, and the file where the error occurred.

import { reportRuntimeError } from 'react-error-overlay';

reportRuntimeError(new Error('This is a runtime error'));

Customizing the overlay

Developers can customize the behavior of the overlay, such as setting a custom handler to open the source file in an editor when an error location is clicked.

import { setEditorHandler } from 'react-error-overlay';

setEditorHandler(function editorHandler(errorLocation) {
  // Custom logic to open the source file in an editor
});

Dismissing the overlay

This feature allows developers to programmatically dismiss the error overlay, which can be useful for handling errors gracefully or when implementing custom error recovery logic.

import { dismissRuntimeErrors } from 'react-error-overlay';

dismissRuntimeErrors();
