You can suppress React's error event handling by capturing the event first.
for example, by placing in public/index.html
's <head>
:
<script>
window.addEventListener('error', function(e){
// prevent React's listener from firing
e.stopImmediatePropagation();
// prevent the browser's console error message
e.preventDefault();
});
</script>
Since you probably still want React's error overlay for errors outside the error boundary, consider this option:
<script>
window.addEventListener('error', function(e){
const {error} = e;
if (!error.captured) {
error.captured = true;
e.stopImmediatePropagation();
e.preventDefault();
// Revisit this error after the error boundary element processed it
setTimeout(()=>{
// can be set by the error boundary error handler
if (!error.shouldIgnore) {
// but if it wasn't caught by a boundary, release it back to the wild
throw error;
}
})
}
});
</script>
assuming your error boundary does something like:
static getDerivedStateFromError(error) {
error['shouldIgnore'] = true;
return { error };
}
The result is a behaviour that follows try...catch line of reasoning.
