Why recovery matters
Goal: Help users continue.
- Show a clear message
- Offer Retry/Reset
- Keep the rest of the UI interactive
Recovery patterns
- Retry: remount subtree or reset local state
- Soft reload: refetch data only
- Report: send minimal details; respect privacy
Demo: Retry + details
An enhanced boundary: friendly message, Retry button, and a way to copy error info.
<div id="root"></div>Demo: remount section with key
Reset by key: remount just the section; rest of the page stays intact.
<div id="root"></div>Demo: reporting helper (simulated)
Send a minimal report: message, stack, time, and app version. Avoid PII.
<div id="root"></div>Tips & checklist
- Give users a Retry or Reset
- Scope boundaries to risky areas
- Report minimal, useful data (message, stack, time, version)
