When something goes wrong with Livewire you see a modal. As a developer you know you have to click outside to close it. Users don't!
In this example I have used components from MaryUI.
When you click a button that fires a 403 you see this modal.
public function delete()
{
abort(403, 'You can`t do that ....');
}
```
When you navigate to a page does not exist you see this full page.
```
http://localhost:8019/noooooooo
```
## 1: Create an empty layout
`File: views/components/layouts/empty.blade`
```html
<html>
<head>
...
</head>
<body class="[...] bg-base-200">
{{ $slot }}
</body>
</html>
```
## 2 : Create a error page
`File: views/errors/error.blade.php`
This will override default Laravel error page. Notice we rely on `$isLivewire` to decide what to do with buttons.
- If it is a modal show close button.
- If it is not a modal show reload button.
Same page works for a modal or full page errors.
```html
<x-layouts.empty>
<div class="flex">
<div class="mx-auto text-center">
<img src="/error.png" width="300" class="mx-auto" />
<div class="text-xl font-bold">Oops!</div>
<div class="text-lg mx-auto max-w-4xl">{{ $message }}</div>
<div class="flex mt-10">
<div class="mx-auto grid md:grid-cols-2 gap-3">
<x-button :label="$isLivewire ? 'Close' : 'Reload'"
:icon="$isLivewire ? 'o-x-mark' : 'o-arrow-path'"
:onclick="$isLivewire
? 'window.parent.document.getElementById(\'livewire-error\').remove()'
: 'window.location.reload()'"
class="btn-primary" />
<x-button label="Home"
icon="o-home"
onclick="window.parent.location.href = '/'"
class="btn-outline" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</x-layouts.empty>
```
## 3: Exception Handler `render()`
`File: app/Exceptions/Handler.php`
This overrides Laravel error rendering. See more at [https://laravel.com/docs/10.x/errors](https://laravel.com/docs/10.x/errors)
When `APP_ENV=local` we display default Laravel error page. For any other value like `production` we display our custom error page describe above.
```php
public function render($request, Throwable $e)
{
// Uses native error page while developing
if (app()->environment() == 'local') {
return parent::render($request, $e);
}
// Allow redirect if auth exception
if ($e instanceof AuthenticationException) {
return parent::render($request, $e);
}
$status = parent::render($request, $e)->getStatusCode();
$isLivewire = $request->hasHeader('X-Livewire');
// Call error page
return response()->view('errors.error', [
'isLivewire' => $isLivewire,
'message' => $e->getMessage()
], $status);
}
```
## Better!
```php
public function delete()
{
abort(403, 'You can`t do that ....');
}
http://localhost:8019/noooooooo
Can we do it better? Yes!
You probably want to have a default message error based on status here instead to use raw error message.
[...]
403 - Go away!
404 - I can't find this page.
500 - Something is wrong our side.
[...]
[
...
'message' => $e->getMessage()
]
Thank you!
