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.
