Forward Error To Webview

[stefan-tuertscher]

In React Native, if a function throws an error, the error is not passed, but the function rejects NativeMethodError in webview.

import { createWebView, bridge } from "@webview-bridge/react-native";
import InAppBrowser from "react-native-inappbrowser-reborn";

// Register functions in the bridge object in your React Native code
export const appBridge = bridge({
  async openInAppBrowser(url: string) {
    if (await InAppBrowser.isAvailable()) {
      await InAppBrowser.open(url);
    } else {
       throw new Error("InAppBrowser is not available")
    }
  },
  // ... Add more functions as needed
});

// Export the bridge type to be used in the web application
export type AppBridge = typeof appBridge;

Currently

import { linkBridge } from "@webview-bridge/web";
import type { AppBridge } from ""; // Import the type 'appBridge' declared in native

...

bridge.openInAppBrowser("http://localhost:5173").catch((err) => console.log(message)); // "{ name: 'NativeMethodError' }"

Expected

import { linkBridge } from "@webview-bridge/web";
import type { AppBridge } from ""; // Import the type 'appBridge' declared in native

...

bridge.openInAppBrowser("http://localhost:5173").catch((err) => console.log(message)); // "Error: InAppBrowser is not available"

Try setting the throwOnError property to true in linkBridge.

Thanks, but I get this: { name: 'NativeMethodError' } instead of Error: InAppBrowser is not available

Unfortunately, exposing the native error messages as they are is a new feature, so I’ll work on it later.

[stefan-tuertscher]

@gronxb Thank you for your quick feedback. I look forward to it.

I wrote a draft for this, but I don't have much time to finish it. I'll try to continue when I have time. I'd really appreciate it if someone could help.

I think it would be helpful if, upon a timeout error, the error message included the name of the function that timed out.
