Application becomes unresponsive after encountering an exception

Question

How to tell Angular 2 to not block the whole application when it encounters an exception?

I\'m not sure if it\'s even possible, because Google didn\'t enlighten me o

Answer 1

I tried to implement Custom Exception Handler as directed by @GünterZöchbauer

and this worked for me

Bootstrap your application with CustomExceptionHandler.

import {ExceptionHandler} from 'angular2/core';

class _ArrayLogger {
  res = [];

  log(s:any):void {
    this.res.push(s);
  }
  logError(s:any):void {
    this.res.push(s);
  }
  logGroup(s:any):void {
    this.res.push(s);
  }
  logGroupEnd() {
    if(this.res.length) {

      //this section executes if any error is logged by angular. 

      //do your stuff here

      /*e.g

        if(location.pathname !== 'dashboard') {
           window.location.href = '/dashboard'; // condition is required to prevent infinite loop
        }

        */
     }
  };
}

export class CustomExceptionHandler extends ExceptionHandler {
  constructor() {
    super(new _ArrayLogger(), true);
  }

  call(error, stackTrace = null, reason = null) {
    super.call(error, stackTrace, reason);
  }
}

bootstrap(MyApp, [provide(ExceptionHandler, {useClass: CustomExceptionHandler})])
