<AsyncBoundary />

Handles loading and error conditions of Suspense.

In React 18, this will create a concurrent split, and in 16 and 17 it will show loading fallbacks. If there is an irrecoverable error, it will show an error fallback.

tip

Learn more about boundary placement by learning how to co-locate data dependencies

Usage

Place AsyncBoundary at or above navigational boundaries like pages, routes, or modals.

import React from 'react';
import { AsyncBoundary } from '@data-client/react';

export default function MyPage() {
  return (
    <AsyncBoundary>
      <SuspendingComponent />
    </AsyncBoundary>
  );
}

function SuspendingComponent() {
  const data = useSuspense(MyEndpoint);

  return <div>{data.text}</div>;
}

Props

interface BoundaryProps {
  children: React.ReactNode;
  fallback?: React.ReactNode;
  errorClassName?: string;
  errorComponent?: React.ComponentType<{
    error: NetworkError;
    resetErrorBoundary: () => void;
    className?: string;
  }>;
  listen?: (resetListener: () => void) => () => void;
}

fallback

Any renderable (React Node) element to show when loading

errorComponent

Component to handle caught errors

Custom fallback example

import React from 'react';
import { CacheProvider, AsyncBoundary } from '@data-client/react';

function ErrorPage({
  error,
  className,
  resetErrorBoundary,
}: {
  error: Error;
  resetErrorBoundary: () => void;
  className?: string;
}) {
  return (
    <pre role="alert" className={className}>
      {error.message} <button onClick={resetErrorBoundary}>Reset</button>
    </pre>
  );
}

export default function App() {
  return (
    <CacheProvider>
      <AsyncBoundary fallback="loading" errorComponent={ErrorPage}>
        <Router />
      </AsyncBoundary>
    </CacheProvider>
  );
}

errorClassName

className to forward to errorComponent

listen

Subscription handler to reset error state on events like URL location changes. This is great for placing a boundary to wrap routing components.

An example using Anansi Router, which uses history subscription.

import { useController } from '@anansi/router';
import { AsyncBoundary } from '@data-client/react';

function App() {
  const { history } = useController();
  return (
    <div>
      <nav>
        <Link name="Home">Coin App</Link>
      </nav>
      <main>
        <AsyncBoundary listen={history.listen}>
          <MatchedRoute index={0} />
        </AsyncBoundary>
      </main>
    </div>
  );
}
