# <NuxtErrorBoundary>

> The <NuxtErrorBoundary> component handles client-side errors happening in its default slot.

<tip>

The `<NuxtErrorBoundary>` uses Vue's [`onErrorCaptured`](https://vuejs.org/api/composition-api-lifecycle#onerrorcaptured) hook under the hood.

</tip>

## Events

- `@error`: Event emitted when the default slot of the component throws an error.```vue
<template>
  <NuxtErrorBoundary @error="logSomeError">
    <!-- ... -->
  </NuxtErrorBoundary>
</template>
```

## Slots

- `#error`: Specify a fallback content to display in case of error.```vue
<template>
  <NuxtErrorBoundary>
    <!-- ... -->
    <template #error="{ error, clearError }">
      <p>An error occurred: {{ error }}</p>

      <button @click="clearError">
        Clear error
      </button>
    </template>
  </NuxtErrorBoundary>
</template>
```

## Examples

### Accessing `error` and `clearError` in script

You can access `error` and `clearError` properties within the component's script as below:

```vue
<template>
  <NuxtErrorBoundary ref="errorBoundary">
    <!-- ... -->
  </NuxtErrorBoundary>
</template>

<script setup lang="ts">
const errorBoundary = useTemplateRef('errorBoundary')

// errorBoundary.value?.error
// errorBoundary.value?.clearError()
</script>
```
