Within the [Nuxt context](/docs/guide/going-further/nuxt-app#the-nuxt-context) you can use `showError` to show an error.
**Parameters:**
- `error`: `string | Error | Partial<{ cause, data, message, name, stack, statusCode, statusMessage }>`
```ts
showError("😱 Oh no, an error has been thrown.")
showError({
statusCode: 404,
statusMessage: "Page Not Found"
})
```
The error is set in the state using [`useError()`](/docs/api/composables/use-error) to create a reactive and SSR-friendly shared error state across components.
::tip
`showError` calls the `app:error` hook.
