The composable returns the global Nuxt error that is being handled and it is available on both client and server.

```ts
const error = useError()
```

`useError` sets an error in the state and creates a reactive as well as SSR-friendly global Nuxt error across components.

Nuxt errors have the following properties:

```ts
interface {
  //  HTTP response status code
  statusCode: number
  // HTTP response status message
  statusMessage: string
  // Error message
  message: string
}
```
