Handling errors

When an error is thrown in an application, the application stops executing, and the error is reported to Flare. However, there are cases where you might want to handle the error so that the application can continue running. And the user isn't presented with an error message.

In such cases, reporting the error to Flare might still be helpful, so you'll have a correct overview of what's going on within your application. We call such errors "handled errors".

Within Laravel, it is possible to handle an error by catching it and then reporting it:

try {
    // Code that might throw an error
} catch (Exception $error) {
    report($error);
}

In Flare, we'll show that the error was handled, and it is possible to filter these errors. You'll find more about filtering errors here.
