To improve error handling across the application, we need to implement a mechanism that captures and displays API errors when they occur during route transitions. This can be achieved using React Router’s errorElement.
Setup errorElement in Routes:
Modify existing routes in React Router to include an errorElement for handling API errors.
Display Error Messages:
When an API error occurs, display a user-friendly error message or component instead of the usual content.
The error message should indicate that something went wrong, along with an option to retry the request or navigate back to a safer page (like the homepage).
Error Handling Logic:
Ensure that API errors are caught and passed down to the errorElement. This could include network issues, timeouts, or unexpected response formats from the API.
The error page/component should reflect the type of error, e.g., 404 (Not Found), 500 (Server Error), etc.
Fallback Component:
Create a fallback component to display when errors occur.
Include proper styling and messages in the fallback component to provide clear information about the issue.
Acceptance Criteria:
API errors should be properly caught and passed to the errorElement.
The error component should display an appropriate message based on the type of error.
The user should have the option to retry or navigate back to a different route.
