//! Example: Error Handling //! ------------------------ //! //! Error handling in Dioxus comes in a few flavors. Because Dioxus is a Rust project, Options and Results are obviously //! the go-to way of wrapping possibly-errored data. However, if a component fails when "unwrapping," everything will crash, //! the page will deadlock, and your users will be sad. //! //! So, obviously, you need to handle your errors. //! //! Fortunately, it's easy to avoid panics, even during quick prototyping. //! //! Here are a few strategies: //! - Leverage the ability to return "None" and propagate None directly //! - Instead of propagating "None" manually, use the "?" syntax sugar //! - Convert Results into Options with .ok() //! - Manually display a separate screen by matching on Options/Results //! //! There *are* plans to add helpful screens for when apps completely panic in Wasm. However, you should really try to //! avoid panicking. use dioxus::prelude::*; fn main() {} /// This is one way to go about error handling (just toss things away with unwrap). /// However, if you get it wrong, the whole app will crash. /// This is pretty flimsy. static App: FC<()> = |cx, props| { let data = get_data().unwrap(); cx.render(rsx!( div { "{data}" } )) }; /// This is a pretty verbose way of error handling /// However, it's still pretty good since we don't panic, just fail to render anything static App1: FC<()> = |cx, props| { let data = match get_data() { Some(data) => data, None => return None, }; cx.render(rsx!( div { "{data}" } )) }; /// This is an even better form of error handling. /// However, it _does_ make the component go blank, which might not be desirable. /// /// This type of error handling is good when you have "selectors" that produce Some/None based on some state that's /// already controlled higher in the tree. i.e. displaying a "Username" in a component that should only be shown if /// a user is logged in. /// /// Dioxus will throw an error in the console if the None-path is ever taken. static App2: FC<()> = |cx, props| { let data = get_data()?; cx.render(rsx!( div { "{data}" } )) }; /// This is top-tier error handling since it displays a failure state. /// /// However, the error is lacking in context. static App3: FC<()> = |cx, props| match get_data() { Some(data) => cx.render(rsx!( div { "{data}" } )), None => cx.render(rsx!( div { "Failed to load data :(" } )), }; /// For errors that return results, it's possible to short-circuit the match-based error handling with `.ok()` which converts /// a Result into an Option and lets you abort rendering by early-returning `None` static App4: FC<()> = |cx, props| { let data = get_data_err().ok()?; cx.render(rsx!( div { "{data}" } )) }; /// This is great error handling since it displays a failure state... with context! /// /// Hopefully you'll never need to display a screen like this. It's rather bad taste static App5: FC<()> = |cx, props| match get_data_err() { Ok(data) => cx.render(rsx!( div { "{data}" } )), Err(c) => cx.render(rsx!( div { "Failed to load data: {c}" } )), }; // this fetching function produces "nothing" fn get_data() -> Option { None } // this fetching function produces "nothing" fn get_data_err() -> Result { Result::Err("Failed!") }
