setJSExceptionHandler((error, isFatal) => {
  if (isFatal) {
    Alert.alert(
      'Unexpected error occurred',
      `  
      Error: ${isFatal ? 'Fatal' : ''} ${error.name} ${error.message}  
          
      We will need to restart the app.  
      `,
      [
        {
          text: 'Restart',
          onPress: () => {
            RNRestart.Restart();
          },
        },
      ]
    );
  }
});

setNativeExceptionHandler((errorString) => {
  //You can do something like call an api to report to dev team here  
    ...
    ...
   // When you call setNativeExceptionHandler, react-native-global-exception-handler sets a  
   // Native Exception Handler popup which supports restart on error in case of android.  
   // In case of iOS, it is not possible to restart the app programmatically, so we just show an error popup and close the app.  
   // To customize the popup screen take a look at CUSTOMIZATION section.  
}, {
  forceAppToQuit: true
});
```

--------------------------------

### Verify Handler Execution with AsyncStorage

setNativeExceptionHandler(async (errorString) => {
  // Log locally for verification
  await AsyncStorage.setItem('lastNativeCrash', JSON.stringify({
    error: errorString,
    timestamp: new Date().toISOString()
  }));
    
  // Send to analytics
  reportToAnalytics(errorString);
});

// Later, check if handler was called
AsyncStorage.getItem('lastNativeCrash').then(data => {
  if (data) {
    console.log('Last crash:', JSON.parse(data));
  }
});

This JavaScript code snippet demonstrates how to use the `react-native-global-exception-handler` library to simulate different types of native crashes. This is crucial for testing the robustness of your custom error handling implementation across various failure scenarios.

```javascript
import { simulateNativeCrash, CrashType } from 'react-native-global-exception-handler';  
  
// Test different crash types  
simulateNativeCrash(CrashType.array_bounds);  
simulateNativeCrash(CrashType.memory_access);  

```

--------------------------------

### Guard Crash Simulation with __DEV__

Source: https://geh.darshan09200.dev/docs/advanced/testing

This best practice snippet shows how to conditionally enable crash simulation using the `__DEV__` global variable. This ensures that crash simulation code is only executed in development builds, preventing accidental production crashes.

```javascript
if (__DEV__) {
  global.simulateCrash = () => {
    simulateNativeCrash('nsexception');
  };
}

```

### Reset Metro Cache for TurboModule Errors (Yarn)

Source: https://geh.darshan09200.dev/docs/troubleshooting

Command to reset the Metro bundler cache using Yarn, useful for resolving 'TurboModule Not Found' errors.

```bash
yarn dlx react-native start --reset-cache
```

--------------------------------

### Optimize Exception Handlers for Performance

Source: https://geh.darshan09200.dev/docs/troubleshooting

Compares a bad practice of performing heavy synchronous operations within an exception handler to a good practice of using asynchronous operations like `setTimeout` to queue tasks for later processing, thus improving app performance.

```javascript
// ❌ Bad - Heavy synchronous operation
setJSExceptionHandler((error, isFatal) => {
  // Expensive operation
  const largeData = processHugeDataset();
  sendToServer(largeData);
}, true);

// ✅ Good - Async operation
setJSExceptionHandler((error, isFatal) => {
  // Queue for later processing
  setTimeout(() => {
    sendToServer(error);
  }, 0);
}, true);
```

--------------------------------

### Enable Debug Mode with JS and Native Exception Handling

Source: https://geh.darshan09200.dev/docs/troubleshooting

This code enables debug mode for enhanced troubleshooting. It sets up both JavaScript and native exception handlers. The JS handler logs detailed error information, while the native handler logs any native exceptions encountered. This requires adding the code to your `index.js` file.

```javascript
if (__DEV__) {
  console.log('Global Exception Handler - Debug Mode');

  setJSExceptionHandler((error, isFatal) => {
    console.log('=== JS Exception Caught ===');
    console.log('Fatal:', isFatal);
    console.log('Error:', error);
    console.log('Stack:', error.stack);
    console.log('==========================');
  }, true);

  setNativeExceptionHandler((errorString) => {
    console.log('=== Native Exception Caught ===');
    console.log('Error:', errorString);
    console.log('===============================');
  });
}
```

--------------------------------

### Reset Metro Cache for TurboModule Errors (npm)

Source: https://geh.darshan09200.dev/docs/troubleshooting

Command to reset the Metro bundler cache using npm, which can resolve 'TurboModule Not Found' errors in React Native's new architecture.

```bash
npx react-native start --reset-cache
```

--------------------------------

### Queue Errors Locally with Async Storage

Source: https://geh.darshan09200.dev/docs/troubleshooting

This snippet demonstrates how to queue errors locally using AsyncStorage when they are captured but not sent to the analytics service. It ensures errors are not lost due to network issues.

```javascript
import AsyncStorage from '@react-native-async-storage/async-storage';

const queueError = async (error) => {
  const queue = await AsyncStorage.getItem('error_queue');
  const errors = queue ? JSON.parse(queue) : [];
  errors.push(error);
  await AsyncStorage.setItem('error_queue', JSON.stringify(errors));
};

setJSExceptionHandler((error, isFatal) => {
  queueError({ error, isFatal });
}, true);
```

--------------------------------

### Set Native Exception Handler - Basic Usage (JavaScript)

Source: https://geh.darshan09200.dev/docs/usage/native-crash-handling

Sets up a global handler for native exceptions. The provided callback function receives the native error message or stack trace. It's recommended to report these errors to a monitoring service.

```javascript
import { setNativeExceptionHandler } from 'react-native-global-exception-handler';

setNativeExceptionHandler((errorString) => {
  // errorString contains the native error message/stack
  console.log('Native crash:', errorString);

  // Send to error monitoring
  reportToSentry(errorString);
});
```

--------------------------------

### Conditionally Simulate Native Crash on iOS/Android

Source: https://geh.darshan09200.dev/docs/troubleshooting

This code checks the platform before attempting to simulate a native crash, ensuring it only runs on iOS or Android devices/simulators. It prevents errors on unsupported platforms like web.

```javascript
import { Platform } from 'react-native';

if (Platform.OS === 'ios' || Platform.OS === 'android') {
  simulateNativeCrash('nsexception');
} else {
  console.log('Not supported on this platform');
}
```

--------------------------------

### Android: Create and Register Custom Error Activity

Source: https://geh.darshan09200.dev/docs/advanced/customization

Replace the default native error screen with a custom `Activity` by creating `CustomErrorActivity.kt` and its layout file `activity_custom_error.xml`. Register this activity in `MainApplication.kt` using `replaceErrorScreenActivityClass` and declare it in `AndroidManifest.xml`.

```kotlin
// CustomErrorActivity.kt
import android.app.Activity
import android.os.Bundle
import android.widget.Button
import android.widget.TextView
import android.content.Intent

class CustomErrorActivity : Activity() {
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_custom_error)

        // Get error message from intent
        val errorMessage = intent.getStringExtra("error")

        findViewById<TextView>(R.id.errorText).text = errorMessage

        findViewById<Button>(R.id.restartButton).setOnClickListener {
            // Restart app logic
            val intent = packageManager.getLaunchIntentForPackage(packageName)
            intent?.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP)
            startActivity(intent)
            finish()
        }
    }
}
```

```kotlin
import com.globalexceptionhandler.GlobalExceptionHandlerModule

class MainApplication : Application(), ReactApplication {
    override fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()

        GlobalExceptionHandlerModule.replaceErrorScreenActivityClass(
            CustomErrorActivity::class.java
        )
    }
}
```

```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:padding="24dp">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/errorText"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textSize="16sp"
        android:layout_marginBottom="24dp"/>

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/restartButton"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Restart App"/>
</LinearLayout>
```

```xml
<activity
    android:name=".CustomErrorActivity"
    android:exported="false"
    android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat" />
```

### Simulate Native Crash for Testing

Source: https://geh.darshan09200.dev/docs/api

Allows simulation of native crashes for testing purposes. This function should be used with caution as it will intentionally crash the application. It accepts an optional crash type, defaulting to 'nsexception'.

```javascript
import { simulateNativeCrash, CrashType } from 'react-native-global-exception-handler';

// Simulate crash
simulateNativeCrash(CrashType.nsexception);

// Avoid calling in production builds

```

--------------------------------

### Update Imports: JavaScript/TypeScript

Source: https://geh.darshan09200.dev/docs/migration/migrating-from-react-native-exception-handler

Demonstrates how to change the import statement for the exception handler functions from the old package to the new one.

```javascript
// Before
import { setJSExceptionHandler } from 'react-native-exception-handler';
// After
import { setJSExceptionHandler } from 'react-native-global-exception-handler';
```

--------------------------------

### Enable Verbose Logging for Exceptions

Source: https://geh.darshan09200.dev/docs/troubleshooting

This snippet demonstrates how to enable verbose logging for JavaScript exceptions using the `setJSExceptionHandler` function. It logs the error name, message, stack trace, and fatal status to the console. This is useful for debugging.

```javascript
setJSExceptionHandler((error, isFatal) => {
  console.log('Error details:', {
    name: error.name,
    message: error.message,
    stack: error.stack,
    isFatal
  });
}, true);
```

--------------------------------

### Android: Implement Custom Native Exception Handler

Source: https://geh.darshan09200.dev/docs/advanced/customization

Implement the `NativeExceptionHandlerIfc` interface in your `MainApplication.kt` to create a custom handler for native exceptions. This allows for custom logic such as sending errors to analytics, displaying a custom UI, or cleaning up resources before optionally calling the original handler.

```kotlin
import com.globalexceptionhandler.GlobalExceptionHandlerModule
import com.globalexceptionhandler.NativeExceptionHandlerIfc
import android.util.Log

class MainApplication : Application(), ReactApplication {
    override fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()

        // Set custom native exception handler
        GlobalExceptionHandlerModule.setNativeExceptionHandler(
            object : NativeExceptionHandlerIfc {
                override fun handleNativeException(
                    thread: Thread,
                    throwable: Throwable,
                    originalHandler: Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler?
                ) {
                    // Custom handling logic
                    // - Send to analytics
                    // - Show custom UI
                    // - Clean up resources

                    // Log the error
                    Log.e("CustomHandler", "Native exception occurred", throwable)

                    // Optionally call original handler
                    originalHandler?.uncaughtException(thread, throwable)
                }
            }
        )
    }
}
```

--------------------------------

### Simulate JavaScript Errors with setJSExceptionHandler

Source: https://geh.darshan09200.dev/docs/advanced/testing

This snippet demonstrates how to test your JavaScript exception handler by throwing an error within your application. It requires the `react-native-global-exception-handler` library.

```javascript
import { setJSExceptionHandler } from 'react-native-global-exception-handler';

setJSExceptionHandler((error, isFatal) => {
  console.log('JS Exception:', error, isFatal);
}, true);

// Somewhere in your code
throw new Error('Test JS Error');

```

--------------------------------

### Prevent Test Crashes in Production with __DEV__

Source: https://geh.darshan09200.dev/docs/troubleshooting

This snippet uses the `__DEV__` flag to ensure that crash simulation code is only executed in development builds, preventing accidental crashes in production environments.

```javascript
import { simulateNativeCrash } from 'react-native-global-exception-handler';

if (__DEV__) {
  // Only available in dev builds
  global.simulateCrash = () => {
    simulateNativeCrash('nsexception');
  };
}
```

--------------------------------

### Legacy Native Handler Signature: JavaScript

Source: https://geh.darshan09200.dev/docs/migration/migrating-from-react-native-exception-handler

Illustrates the deprecated positional signature for `setNativeExceptionHandler` and the recommended object-based signature.

```javascript
// Deprecated positional form  
setNativeExceptionHandler(  
  (errorString) => { console.log(errorString); },  
  /* forceAppToQuit */ true,  
  /* callPreviouslyDefinedHandler */ false  
);

// Recommended object form  
setNativeExceptionHandler((errorString) => {
  console.log(errorString);
}, { forceAppToQuit: true, callPreviouslyDefinedHandler: false });
```

```objective-c
// ErrorViewController.h  
@interface ErrorViewController : UIViewController  
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *errorMessage;  
@end  
  
// ErrorViewController.m  
@implementation ErrorViewController  
  
- (void)viewDidLoad {  
    [super viewDidLoad];  
    self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];  
      
    // Add UI elements  
    UILabel *titleLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:  
        CGRectMake(20, 100, self.view.bounds.size.width - 40, 40)];  
    titleLabel.text = @"An Error Occurred";  
    titleLabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;  
    titleLabel.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:24];  
    [self.view addSubview:titleLabel];  
      
    UILabel *messageLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:  
        CGRectMake(20, 160, self.view.bounds.size.width - 40, 200)];  
    messageLabel.text = self.errorMessage;  
    messageLabel.numberOfLines = 0;  
    messageLabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;  
    [self.view addSubview:messageLabel];  
      
    UIButton *closeButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeSystem];  
    closeButton.frame = CGRectMake(  
        (self.view.bounds.size.width - 200) / 2,   
        400,   
        200,   
        44  
    );  
    [closeButton setTitle:@"Close App" forState:UIControlStateNormal];  
    [closeButton addTarget:self   
        action:@selector(closeApp)   
        forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];  
    [self.view addSubview:closeButton];  
}  
  
- (void)closeApp {  
    [GlobalExceptionHandler releaseExceptionHold];  
}  
  
@end  
  
// In AppDelegate.m  
[GlobalExceptionHandler replaceNativeExceptionHandlerBlock:^(  
    NSException *exception,   
    NSString *readeableException  
) {  
    ErrorViewController *errorVC = [[ErrorViewController alloc] init];  
    errorVC.errorMessage = readeableException;  
      
    [self.window.rootViewController   
        presentViewController:errorVC   
        animated:YES   
        completion:nil];  
}];

### Implement Custom Analytics Error Reporting with react-native-global-exception-handler

Source: https://geh.darshan09200.dev/docs/examples/analytics-integration

This snippet illustrates how to set up custom error reporting using react-native-global-exception-handler. It handles fatal JavaScript errors by displaying an alert and exiting the app, while also providing a placeholder for reporting native exceptions to a custom endpoint.

```javascript
import { Alert, BackHandler } from 'react-native';
import { setJSExceptionHandler } from 'react-native-global-exception-handler';

const reportError = (error: Error) => {
  // Example: send to your API or analytics
  console.log('Reporting error:', error.message);
};

setJSExceptionHandler((error, isFatal) => {
  if (isFatal) {
    reportError(error);
    Alert.alert(
      'Unexpected error occurred',
      `Fatal: ${error.name}\n${error.message}\nThe app will now close.`,
      [
        {
          text: 'Close',
          onPress: () => BackHandler.exitApp()
        }
      ]
    );
  } else {
    // Non-fatal - could still log/report
    console.warn('Non-fatal error:', error.message);
  }
}, true);

setNativeExceptionHandler((errorString) => {
  //You can do something like call an api to report to dev team here
  //example
  // fetch('http://<YOUR API TO REPORT TO DEV TEAM>?error='+errorString);
  //
}, {
  forceAppToQuit: true
});

```

### iOS: Display Custom Alert on Exception

Source: https://geh.darshan09200.dev/docs/advanced/customization

This Objective-C code snippet demonstrates how to replace the native exception handler to display a custom UIAlertController when an exception occurs. It includes an option to automatically close the app after a delay. Ensure GlobalExceptionHandler.h is imported.

```objective-c
#import "GlobalExceptionHandler.h"  
  
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application   
    didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {  
      
    // Your existing setup...  
      
    // Custom native exception handler  
    [GlobalExceptionHandler replaceNativeExceptionHandlerBlock:^(  
        NSException *exception,   
        NSString *readeableException  
    ) {  
        // Create custom alert  
        UIAlertController* alert = [UIAlertController  
            alertControllerWithTitle:@"App Error"  
            message:[NSString stringWithFormat:  
                @"An unexpected error occurred.\n\n%@",   
                readeableException  
            ]  
            preferredStyle:UIAlertControllerStyleAlert];  
          
        // Add action  
        UIAlertAction* closeAction = [UIAlertAction  
            actionWithTitle:@"Close App"  
            style:UIAlertActionStyleDestructive  
            handler:^(UIAlertAction * action) {  
                [GlobalExceptionHandler releaseExceptionHold];  
            }];  
          
        [alert addAction:closeAction];  
          
        // Present the alert  
        [self.window.rootViewController   
            presentViewController:alert   
            animated:YES   
            completion:nil];  
          
        // Auto-close after 4 seconds  
        [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:4.0  
            target:[GlobalExceptionHandler class]  
            selector:@selector(releaseExceptionHold)  
            userInfo:nil  
            repeats:NO];  
    }];  
      
    return YES;

### Set Native Exception Handler - Android Options (JavaScript)

Source: https://geh.darshan09200.dev/docs/usage/native-crash-handling

Configures the native exception handler with Android-specific options. `forceAppToQuit` determines if the app should terminate after the handler runs, and `callPreviouslyDefinedHandler` allows chaining with existing handlers.

```javascript
setNativeExceptionHandler((errorString) => {
  // Handle error
}, {
  forceAppToQuit: true,  // Force app to terminate after handler runs
  callPreviouslyDefinedHandler: false  // Call previous handler
});
```
