@prismicio/client - error responses

Developing with Prismic
1

Does anyone have a good overview on what errors the Prismic.client from @prismicio/client can return in different scenarios such as network outage, server side issues, document issues? I would like to write an error handler to cover those for the different scenarios.

thanks,

Hello @peter2

Thanks for reaching out to us.

I have asked my dedicated team about different error responses from the Prismic client kit. I'll come back to you as I hear back from them.

Thanks,

Hello @peter2

With @prismicio/client@5 (or 4), errors throw are generic errors, and the message can help you to write error handlers.
With @prismicio/client@6 (beta), here are the error classes have thrown by the package: prismic-client/index.ts at v6 · prismicio/prismic-client · GitHub, you can use them to identify more precisely what happened.

I hope this answers your question.

Thanks,
Priyanka

The link that was provided in the solution for v6 is broken: the correct link is prismic-client/index.ts at v6 · prismicio/prismic-client · GitHub

The link points to various Error classes that are returned in the response. I havn't made use of them, but am looking solely at the status parameter of the response.
