This is one of the most well-written & informative coding books I’ve ever worked through. A solid React & ES6 introduction.

The Road to Learn React by Robin Wieruch is such an awesome book! Most of what I learned about React and even ES6 was through it!

I recommend this to any student or professional interested in learning react basics to advanced level. I have 17 years of experience in web and desktop app development, and before reading this I was having trouble in learning react. It works like magic.

The Road to React: The One with Class Components

In this lesson, we introduce an efficient solution to add error handling for the application that we are building in case of an erroneous API request. We must know the necessary building block to introduce error handling in React: local state and conditional rendering. The error is just another state, which we store in the local state and display with conditional rendering in the component.

Now, we'll implement it in the App component, since that's where we fetch data from the Hacker News API. First, introduce the error in the local state. It is initialized as null but will be set to the error object in case of an error.


Let's catch some errors in your application and debug them!
