In which scenarios do error boundaries not catch errors?

Below are the cases in which error boundaries don't work,

  1. Inside Event handlers
  2. Asynchronous code using setTimeout or requestAnimationFrame callbacks
  3. During Server side rendering
  4. When errors thrown in the error boundary code itself

Practical Code Example

jsx
// Error Boundaries do NOT catch errors in:
// 1. Event handlers (use try/catch inside onClick)
// 2. Asynchronous code (setTimeout, requestAnimationFrame)
// 3. Server-side rendering (SSR)
// 4. Errors thrown inside the Error Boundary component itself
