Understanding and Implementing Effective Error Handling in Angular Applications

Common Error Types in Angular

  • HTTP Errors (e.g., 404, 500)
    HTTP_Request_Error
  • Component Errors (e.g., template parsing issues)
    Component_Error_Handling
  • Service Errors (e.g., async operation failures)
    Service_Error_Management

Key Error Handling Techniques

  1. Using try/catch in Services
    try {
      const response = await fetch('/api/data');
      if (!response.ok) throw new Error('Network response was not ok');
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('Service error:', error);
    }
    
  2. Angular’s ErrorHandler Interface
    Angular_Error_Handler_Interface
  3. Error Boundaries in Components
    Error_Boundary_Component

Best Practices 📝

  • Log errors systematically using Angular’s console.error or third-party tools.
  • Display user-friendly messages with ngx-toastr or mat-snack-bar.
  • Use catchError from RxJS for HTTP requests:
    this.http.get('/api/data').pipe(catchError(this.handleError));  
    
  • Implement custom error handlers for framework-specific issues.
