# Handling Errors

Errors are handled by the [\<View>](https://docs.usegravity.app/gravity-web/components/view) component, which has a `handleError` method stored in the `ViewContext`.\
\
You should always use a `try...catch` statement around any asynchronous code that may encounter an error. Inside your `catch` method, you can then call `context.handleError` and pass the error object.

```javascript
import { useContext } from 'react';
import { ViewContext } from 'components/lib';

function YourComponent(props){

  const viewContext = useContext(ViewContext);
  
  function doSomething(){
    try {
    
      ...
      
    }
    catch (err){
    
      viewContext.handleError(err);
      
    }
  }
}
```

This will display a banner notification along the top of the view with the error message text and also a console log.
