[BUG] : Implement Global Error Boundary and Centralized Exception Handling #122

Description

Implement Global Error Boundary and Centralized Exception Handling

Description

The application currently lacks a centralized error handling strategy for runtime exceptions and asynchronous failures. Unhandled errors can result in blank screens, broken user flows, and a poor user experience.

A global error handling mechanism should be implemented to ensure the application fails gracefully and provides meaningful feedback to users while capturing diagnostic information for debugging.

Problem Statement

  • Unhandled runtime exceptions can crash the application.
  • Unhandled promise rejections may leave the UI in an inconsistent state.
  • Errors are not captured through a centralized logging mechanism.
  • Users may encounter blank screens instead of actionable feedback.
  • Debugging production issues becomes difficult without proper error reporting.

Proposed Solution

Frontend

  • Create a reusable ErrorBoundary component.
  • Wrap the root application with the Error Boundary.
  • Design a user-friendly fallback UI.
  • Handle unexpected rendering errors gracefully.

Global Exception Handling

  • Capture unhandled promise rejections.
  • Capture unexpected runtime errors.
  • Log errors through a centralized logging utility.

Logging

  • Implement a centralized logger service.
  • Prevent exposure of sensitive information in logs.
  • Provide structured error reporting for debugging purposes.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Application does not crash to a blank screen on component errors.
  • A fallback UI is displayed when an unexpected error occurs.
  • Unhandled promise rejections are captured and logged.
  • Runtime exceptions are logged through a centralized mechanism.
  • Error details exposed to end users are sanitized.
  • Existing application functionality remains unaffected.

Expected Benefits

  • Improved application stability.
  • Better production debugging.
  • Enhanced user experience.
  • More maintainable error handling architecture.
