Section 1.1: Error Handling in Nuxt.js

Error management for unconfigured pages and components is a built-in feature of Nuxt.js. However, there may be times when you need to implement custom error pages. To start this process, head to the ‘layouts’ directory located at the root of your Nuxt.js application.

Create a new file named error.vue. It is essential to use this specific filename so that Nuxt.js can recognize it for custom error page display. Once your file is set up, you can personalize its content and design according to your needs. Before you jump into styling, make sure to configure the error.vue file for proper integration with Nuxt.js.

Here’s a sample setup for the error.vue file:

<template>

<div>

<div>

<h1 class="font-mono text-white z-50 text-6xl">

{{ error.statusCode }} It Seems you are lost?

</h1>

<nuxt-link to="/">Take Me Home</nuxt-link>

</div>

</div>

</template>

<script>

export default {

props: ["error"],

layout: "error",

};

</script>

<style scoped>

</style>

If you try to access a route that isn't configured in your Nuxt.js application, you will be directed to the custom error page that you just created.

Section 1.2: Customizing Your Error Page

Now that your error.vue file is established, you can further customize its appearance and functionality. Tailor it to fit your application's design language and enhance the user experience during error occurrences.

The second video, "Adding a Custom Error Page to Your Nuxt Application," walks you through the process of integrating a personalized error page seamlessly into your app.
