+# An Error Boundary Tag / Directive / Component Archetype
+
+## Summary
+
+> Creation of an error boundary which catches errors and allows the system to handle them.
+
+## Motivation
+
+1. After using Sentry in production to handle errors, having specific boundaries for handling errors in different ways is desirable.
+2. Catching errors in Sapper is critical and currently infeasible. Errors in Sapper break the router, and a user sees a "frozen" site. I would imagine this is similar for Kit.
+
+It's a bit of a [dealbreaker](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22544837) for Sapper users currently.
+
+## Detailed design
+
+There's actually prior art. I use this in production myself. The source code for such is here:
+
+https://github.com/crownframework/svelte-error-boundary
+
+and a working example here:
+
+https://svelte.dev/repl/9d44bbcf30444cd08cca6b85f07f2e2a?version=3.29.4
+
+My suggestion for alternative syntax is detailed below, but I am proposing a tag which can be added to any component to make it a boundary:
+
+```svelte
+<svelte:error handler={myErrorHandler} />
+```
+
+This solves a solution such as `on:error` attribute being a breaking change.
+
+### Technical Background
+
+This exists in a variety of frameworks, React has native support, whilst vue currently does not.
+
+The impetus for creating it as a native feature of Svelte is to prevent the "brittle" nature of the way the current third-party solution works.
+
+See:
+
+* [React Error Boundaries](https://reactjs.org/docs/error-boundaries.html)
+* [vue-error-boundary](https://www.npmjs.com/package/vue-error-boundary)
+* [svelte-error-boundary](https://github.com/crownframework/svelte-error-boundary)
+
+### Implementation
+
+There is actually a [reference implementation](https://github.com/crownframework/svelte-error-boundary)
+which has been proven to work in production environments. I would suggest that we go with
+this implementation.
+
+The stark advantage to making this part of core is that the current implementation
+relies on non-public parts of the Svelte API which can change at any time,
+causing it to be brittle.
+
+The pre-existing component uses `onError` for technical reasons, I can suggest two alternatives for handling
+this as `onError` doesn't really fit the Svelte language:
+
+1. To allow components to simply implement `on:error` as with existing handlers, however the naming of such would have to be considered, as it is likely that people will have alread created custom events with the name `error` and this would conflict with them.
+1. To allow a new svelte tag `<svelte:error handler={myErrorHandler}>`. This tag could be included in any component to make itself a boundary.
+
+The important factor here is allowing a handler function, which can then be wired up to
+[https://forum.sentry.io/t/requesting-svelte-support/8477](Sentry) or LogRocket. Sentry have noted
+that lack of an error boundary component is a blocker to them having native support for
+Svelte.
+
+## How we teach this
+
+* Is API documentation required? Yes.
+* Is a tutorial section required? No.
+
+Community support will be available for this, for example, Sentry would likely add a section to their documentation about specific Svelte integration, which they currently can't do due to lack of this component.
+
+## Drawbacks
+
+Implementation drawbacks:
+
+1. `on:error` would be a breaking change.
+1. `onError` is not Svelte-esque syntax
+1. A directive doesn't feel like a core component
+
+Therefore I propose the tag approach `<svelte:error handler={} />`.
+
+With regards to drawbacks of a tag:
+
+Q. You can't put this tag into third-party components
+A. This isn't really a drawback, implementors can either add the tag in their libraries and allow the user to pass in a handler function, or, you can wrap any component you want as an error boundary, with a new component which has the tag.
+
+## Alternatives
+
+I don't have any alternatives right now, other than sticking with the crownframework boundary and being careful during Svelte upgrades, which isn't very scalable.
+
+## Unresolved questions
+
+Merely Syntactical. I don't know if my suggestion around a new tag is feasible/desirable/can solve all use-cases.
