Error Handler

Error Handler provides a generalized system display of errors in the application. It allows to show different error formats for prod and dev environment.

How to Use It

Import oroui/js/error into your component:

define(function(require) {
    'use strict';

    var error = require('oroui/js/error');

    /* Another code */
});

To display an error message, use the methods provided in Error Handler

  • context: {Object|Error}

  • errorMessage: {String|null} _(optional)_

Show an error both in the UI Flash Message and Console

Error Handler and $.ajax() errors

By default, Error Handler catches and shows all default errors provided by $.ajax(). However, developers can change or disable this behavior by adding the errorHandlerMessage option into ajax settings.

errorHandlerMessage

  • Type: {Boolean|String|Function}

  • Default: true

Disable ajax Error Flash Message:

$.ajax({
    url: 'test',
    errorHandlerMessage: false
});

Set a custom error message:

$.ajax({
    url: 'test',
    errorHandlerMessage: "Custom Error Message"
});

Callback function can also be used for errorHandlerMessage:

$.ajax({
    url: 'test',
    errorHandlerMessage: function(event, xhr, settings) {
        // Suppress error if it's 404 response
        return xhr.status !== 404;
    }
});
