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,  
goppi

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,  
Priyanka

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](https://github.com/prismicio/prismic-client/blob/v6/src/index.ts#L10-L12), 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](https://github.com/prismicio/prismic-client/blob/ba9e8ca2b8508356bff7c396455ad2b760694fbe/src/index.ts#L31-L34)

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.
