How To Get and Log an Error in Angular 4?
Two types of errors -
1. If the backend returns an unsuccessful response like - 404, 500 and so on
2. If something goes wrong in the client side like -network error etc.
In the both cases - We are using HttpErrorResponse and return the useful information on what went wrong in this call!
Example –
http.get('/api/users')
.subscribe(data => {console.log(data);}, //Successful responses call the first callback.
(err: HttpErrorResponse) => {
if (err.error instanceof Error) {
console.log('Error - ', err.error.message);
}else {
console.log('Error status - ${err.status}, and Error Detail - ${err.error}');
}
}
});
How To handle and retry the failed request due to Poor Network Connection in Angular 4?
In Angular 4, simply retry the request using RxJS operator called .retry (). It is automatically presubscribed to an Observable, thus reissuing the request when an error occurred!
Import RxJS for using retry () method-
import 'rxjs/add/operator/retry';
HTTP Observables for retry the failed request
http.get('/api/users')
.retry(2) //Retry this request up to 2 times.
.subscribe(data => {console.log(data);}, //Successful responses call the first callback.
(err: HttpErrorResponse) => {
if (err.error instanceof Error) {
console.log('Error - ', err.error.message);
}else {
console.log('Error status - ${err.status}, and Error Detail - ${err.error}');
}
}
});
