Error Handling

The recommend strategy for handling errors and list of all errors to handle

Recommend error handling
Errors must be caught with a catch following the upload promise. Alternatively, using async / await, you can catch errors with try / catch instead. There are quite a few errors that can be thrown. Instead of handling all errors separately, it's recommend you handle it as follows:
Promises
Async / Await
Promises
const networkErrors = ["upload_failed", "upload_could_not_initiate"];
​
const file = document.getElementById("file-input").files[0];
​
const task = UC.upload({
    providerId: "<YOUR_PROVIDER_ID>",
    files: [{ file: file }]
});
​
task.start()
    .then((uploaded) => {
        // Handle successful upload
    })
    .catch((e) => {
        if (networkErrors.indexOf(e.code) !== -1) {
            // Message to user: Upload failed due to network error 
        }
        else {
            // Message to user: Something went wrong internally
            // Log error in your error tracker to follow up on
            // e.g. Sentry.captureException(e);
        }
    });
Async / Await
const networkErrors = ["upload_failed", "upload_could_not_initiate"];
​
async function upload() {
​
    const file = document.getElementById("file-input").files[0];
​
    const task = UC.upload({
        providerId: "<YOUR_PROVIDER_ID>",
        files: [{ file: file }]
    });
    
    try {
        const uploaded = await task.start();
        // Handle successful upload
    }
    catch (e) {
        if (networkErrors.indexOf(e.code) !== -1) {
            // Message to user: Upload failed due to network error 
        }
        else {
            // Message to user: Something went wrong internally
            // Log error in your error tracker to follow up on
            // e.g. Sentry.captureException(e);
        }
    }
