Describe the problem you'd like to have solved
I hope I've searched enough and I'm not requesting something that already exists ...
The SDK currently provides a good error handling structure:
when calling methods like authorize, clearSession, etc., the result can be checked via isError and error.
However, the error object only exposes a generic message, and developers have to parse the returned string to determine the actual error type (e.g. a0.session.user_cancelled, a0.network_error, etc.).
This makes error handling brittle and platform-dependent.
Describe the ideal solution
It would be very helpful if the SDK exposed typed error definitions or an exported Auth0Error enum/interface, for example:
import { Auth0ErrorType } from 'react-native-auth0';
try {
await auth0.webAuth.clearSession();
} catch (e) {
if (e.type === Auth0ErrorType.UserCancelled) {
// handle user cancel cleanly
}
}
