Package Exports

next-with-error

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (next-with-error) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

next-with-error

Next.js HoC to render the Error page and send the correct HTTP status code from any page.

This higher-order-components allows you to easily return Next.js's Error page + the correct HTTP status code just by defining error.statusCode in your pages getInitialProps:

// pages/something.js

const SomePage = () => (
  <h1>I will only render if error.statusCode is lesser than 400</h1>
)

SomePage.getInitialProps = async () => {
  const isAuthenticated = await getUser();

  if (!isAuthenticated) {
    return {
      error: {
        statusCode: 401;
      }
    };
  }

  return {};
}

Installation

npm install next-with-error

Usage

`withError([ErrorPage])(App)`

Adapt pages/_app.js so it looks similar to what is described in the official Next.js documentation and add the withError HoC.

Example

import App, { Container } from 'next/app';
import React from 'react';

import withError from 'next-with-error';

export class MyApp extends App {
  static async getInitialProps({ Component, ctx }) {
    let pageProps = {};

    if (Component && Component.getInitialProps) {
      pageProps = await Component.getInitialProps(ctx);
    }

    return { pageProps };
  }

  render() {
    const { Component, pageProps } = this.props;
    return (
      <Container>
        <Component {...pageProps} />
      </Container>
    );
  }
}

export default withError()(MyApp);

Then, in any of your pages, define error.statusCode if needed in your page's getInitialProps

// pages/article.js
import React from 'react';
import fetchPost from '../util/fetch-post';

class ArticlePage extends React.Component {
  static async getInitialProps() {
    const article = await fetchPost();

    if (!article) {
      // No article found, let's display a "not found" page
      // Will return a 404 status code + display the Error page
      return {
        error: {
          statusCode: 404
        }
      };
    }

    // Otherwise, all good
    return {
      article
    };
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <h1>{this.props.article.title}</h1>
      // ...
    );
  }
}

ArticlePage.getInitialProps = async () => {};

export default HomePage;

Custom error page

By default, withError will display the default Next.js error page. If you need to display your own error page, you will need to pass it as the first parameter of your HoC:

import ErrorPage from './_error';

// ...

export default withError(ErrorPage)(MyApp);

Custom props

You can also pass custom props to your Error Page component by adding anything you would like in the error object:

// /pages/article.js
const HomePage = () => <h1>Hello there!</h1>;

HomePage.getInitialProps = () => {
  return {
    error: {
      statusCode: 401,
      message: 'oopsie'
    }
  };
};

export default HomePage;

// /pages/_error.js

import React from 'react';

const Error = (props) => {
  return (
    <>
      <h1>Custom error page: {props.statusCode}</h1>
      <p>{props.message}</p>
    </>
  );
};

export default Error;
