::tip
The `<NuxtErrorBoundary>` uses Vue's [`onErrorCaptured`](https://vuejs.org/api/composition-api-lifecycle.html#onerrorcaptured) hook under the hood.
::

## Events

- `@error`: Event emitted when the default slot of the component throws an error.

  ```vue
  <template>
    <NuxtErrorBoundary @error="logSomeError">
      <!-- ... -->
    </NuxtErrorBoundary>
  </template>
  ```

## Slots

- `#error`: Specify a fallback content to display in case of error.

  ```vue
    <template>
      <NuxtErrorBoundary>
        <!-- ... -->
        <template #error="{ error }">
          <p>An error occurred: {{ error }}</p>
        </template>
      </NuxtErrorBoundary>
    </template>
  ```
