Handling Loading and Error States

Managing loading, error, and empty states for excellent UX

Data fetching isn't always instant or successful. Users need to know when data is loading, what happened if something fails, and what to do when there's no data to show. Handling these states gracefully is essential for great user experience. Next.js provides powerful tools like loading.tsx, error.tsx, and Suspense boundaries to make this easy. Let's learn to handle every data fetching state professionally!

Loading States with loading.tsx

Next.js automatically shows loading UI while your page data is being fetched:

Basic loading.tsx

app/blog/loading.tsx
// loading.tsx automatically wraps page in Suspense
export default function Loading() {
  return (
    <div className="container mx-auto px-4 py-8">
      <div className="animate-pulse">
        {/* Header skeleton */}
        <div className="h-8 bg-gray-200 rounded w-1/4 mb-8" />
        
        {/* Posts skeleton */}
        <div className="space-y-6">
          {[1, 2, 3, 4, 5].map(i => (
            <div key={i} className="border rounded-lg p-6">
              <div className="h-6 bg-gray-200 rounded w-3/4 mb-4" />
              <div className="h-4 bg-gray-200 rounded w-full mb-2" />
              <div className="h-4 bg-gray-200 rounded w-5/6" />
            </div>
          ))}
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  );
}

// ✅ Shows while page.tsx is fetching data
// ✅ Automatic Suspense boundary
// ✅ No manual loading state management
app/blog/page.tsx
// While this page is loading, loading.tsx is shown
async function BlogPage() {
  // Data fetching
  const posts = await fetch('https://api.example.com/posts')
    .then(r => r.json());

  return (
    <div className="container mx-auto px-4 py-8">
      <h1 className="text-3xl font-bold mb-8">Blog Posts</h1>
      
      <div className="space-y-6">
        {posts.map(post => (
          <article key={post.id} className="border rounded-lg p-6">
            <h2 className="text-2xl font-semibold mb-2">{post.title}</h2>
            <p className="text-gray-700">{post.excerpt}</p>
          </article>
        ))}
      </div>
    </div>
  );
}

export default BlogPage;

// Flow:
// 1. User navigates to /blog
// 2. loading.tsx shows immediately
// 3. page.tsx fetches data
// 4. page.tsx replaces loading.tsx when ready

Skeleton Loading Pattern

app/dashboard/loading.tsx
export default function DashboardLoading() {
  return (
    <div className="container mx-auto px-4 py-8">
      {/* Match the actual layout structure */}
      <div className="animate-pulse">
        {/* Header */}
        <div className="mb-8">
          <div className="h-10 bg-gray-200 rounded w-1/3 mb-2" />
          <div className="h-4 bg-gray-200 rounded w-1/4" />
        </div>

        {/* Stats grid */}
        <div className="grid grid-cols-4 gap-6 mb-8">
          {[1, 2, 3, 4].map(i => (
            <div key={i} className="bg-white rounded-lg shadow p-6">
              <div className="h-4 bg-gray-200 rounded w-1/2 mb-4" />
              <div className="h-8 bg-gray-200 rounded w-3/4" />
            </div>
          ))}
        </div>

        {/* Chart */}
        <div className="bg-white rounded-lg shadow p-6 mb-8">
          <div className="h-6 bg-gray-200 rounded w-1/4 mb-4" />
          <div className="h-64 bg-gray-200 rounded" />
        </div>

        {/* Table */}
        <div className="bg-white rounded-lg shadow p-6">
          <div className="h-6 bg-gray-200 rounded w-1/4 mb-4" />
          <div className="space-y-3">
            {[1, 2, 3, 4, 5].map(i => (
              <div key={i} className="h-12 bg-gray-200 rounded" />
            ))}
          </div>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  );
}

// ✅ Skeleton matches actual layout
// ✅ Visual continuity
// ✅ Better perceived performance

🎨 Skeleton Design Tip

Make your loading skeleton match the structure of the actual content. This creates visual continuity and helps users understand what's loading.

Multiple Loading States with Suspense

Use Suspense boundaries for granular control over loading states:

app/dashboard/page.tsx
import { Suspense } from 'react';

// Fast component - loads quickly
async function QuickStats() {
  const stats = await fetch('https://api.example.com/quick-stats', {
    cache: 'force-cache',
  }).then(r => r.json());

  return (
    <div className="grid grid-cols-4 gap-6">
      <StatCard title="Users" value={stats.users} />
      <StatCard title="Revenue" value={`$${stats.revenue}`} />
      <StatCard title="Orders" value={stats.orders} />
      <StatCard title="Growth" value={`${stats.growth}%`} />
    </div>
  );
}

// Slow component - takes time
async function DetailedAnalytics() {
  const analytics = await fetch('https://api.example.com/analytics', {
    cache: 'no-store',
  }).then(r => r.json());

  return (
    <div>
      <h2 className="text-2xl font-bold mb-4">Analytics</h2>
      <ComplexChart data={analytics.chartData} />
      <DetailedTable data={analytics.tableData} />
    </div>
  );
}

// Loading skeletons
function StatsSkeleton() {
  return (
    <div className="grid grid-cols-4 gap-6 animate-pulse">
      {[1, 2, 3, 4].map(i => (
        <div key={i} className="bg-white rounded-lg shadow p-6">
          <div className="h-4 bg-gray-200 rounded w-1/2 mb-4" />
          <div className="h-8 bg-gray-200 rounded w-3/4" />
        </div>
      ))}
    </div>
  );
}

function AnalyticsSkeleton() {
  return (
    <div className="animate-pulse">
      <div className="h-6 bg-gray-200 rounded w-1/4 mb-4" />
      <div className="h-64 bg-gray-200 rounded mb-4" />
      <div className="h-96 bg-gray-200 rounded" />
    </div>
  );
}

// Page with multiple Suspense boundaries
export default function DashboardPage() {
  return (
    <div className="container mx-auto px-4 py-8">
      <h1 className="text-3xl font-bold mb-8">Dashboard</h1>

      {/* Quick stats - own loading state */}
      <Suspense fallback={<StatsSkeleton />}>
        <QuickStats />
      </Suspense>

      {/* Analytics - own loading state */}
      <div className="mt-12">
        <Suspense fallback={<AnalyticsSkeleton />}>
          <DetailedAnalytics />
        </Suspense>
      </div>
    </div>
  );
}

// ✅ QuickStats shows fast - no waiting
// ✅ Analytics shows loading skeleton independently
// ✅ Each section loads at its own pace

Benefits of Multiple Suspense Boundaries

  • Independent loading: Fast content shows immediately
  • Better UX: Users see something useful right away
  • Perceived performance: Page feels faster
  • Granular control: Different loading UI for different sections

Error States with error.tsx

Handle errors gracefully with error boundaries:

Basic error.tsx

app/blog/error.tsx
'use client'; // Error components must be Client Components

import { useEffect } from 'react';

export default function Error({
  error,
  reset,
}: {
  error: Error & { digest?: string };
  reset: () => void;
}) {
  useEffect(() => {
    // Log error to error reporting service
    console.error('Blog page error:', error);
  }, [error]);

  return (
    <div className="container mx-auto px-4 py-8">
      <div className="max-w-md mx-auto text-center">
        <div className="text-6xl mb-4">😕</div>
        <h2 className="text-2xl font-bold mb-4">Something went wrong</h2>
        <p className="text-gray-600 mb-6">
          We couldn't load the blog posts. Please try again.
        </p>
        
        <button
          onClick={reset}
          className="px-6 py-3 bg-blue-600 text-white rounded-lg hover:bg-blue-700 transition"
        >
          Try Again
        </button>
      </div>
    </div>
  );
}

// ✅ Catches errors in page.tsx
// ✅ Shows user-friendly message
// ✅ Provides retry button
// ✅ Logs error for debugging

Detailed Error Component

app/blog/error.tsx
'use client';

import { useEffect } from 'react';
import Link from 'next/link';

export default function BlogError({
  error,
  reset,
}: {
  error: Error & { digest?: string };
  reset: () => void;
}) {
  useEffect(() => {
    // Log to error reporting service (e.g., Sentry)
    console.error('Blog error:', {
      message: error.message,
      digest: error.digest,
      stack: error.stack,
    });
  }, [error]);

  // Different messages based on error
  const isNetworkError = error.message.includes('fetch');
  const isNotFound = error.message.includes('404');

  return (
    <div className="min-h-screen flex items-center justify-center px-4">
      <div className="max-w-md w-full">
        <div className="text-center">
          {/* Icon */}
          <div className="text-6xl mb-6">
            {isNetworkError ? '🌐' : isNotFound ? '🔍' : '😕'}
          </div>

          {/* Title */}
          <h1 className="text-3xl font-bold mb-4">
            {isNetworkError
              ? 'Connection Problem'
              : isNotFound
              ? 'Posts Not Found'
              : 'Something Went Wrong'}
          </h1>

          {/* Description */}
          <p className="text-gray-600 mb-8">
            {isNetworkError
              ? 'Please check your internet connection and try again.'
              : isNotFound

              : 'An unexpected error occurred. Our team has been notified.'}
          </p>

          {/* Error ID (for support) */}
          {error.digest && (
            <p className="text-sm text-gray-500 mb-6">
              Error ID: {error.digest}

          )}

          {/* Actions */}
          <div className="flex flex-col sm:flex-row gap-3 justify-center">
            <button

    </div>
  );
}

// ✅ Context-specific error messages

Try-Catch in Components

For more control, handle errors within the component:

app/blog/page.tsx
async function BlogPage() {
  try {
    const response = await fetch('https://api.example.com/posts');
    
    if (!response.ok) {
      throw new Error(`Failed to fetch posts: ${response.status}`);
    }
    
    const posts = await response.json();

    // Check for empty results
    if (posts.length === 0) {
      return (
        <div className="container mx-auto px-4 py-8">
          <EmptyState
            icon="📝"
            title="No posts yet"
            description="Be the first to create a blog post!"
            action={{
              label: "Create Post",
              href: "/blog/new"
            }}
          />
        </div>
      );
    }

    return (
      <div className="container mx-auto px-4 py-8">
        <h1 className="text-3xl font-bold mb-8">Blog Posts</h1>
        <div className="space-y-6">
          {posts.map(post => (
            <PostCard key={post.id} post={post} />
          ))}
        </div>
      </div>
    );
  } catch (error) {
    return (
      <div className="container mx-auto px-4 py-8">
        <ErrorMessage
          title="Failed to Load Posts"
          message={error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Unknown error'}
          action={{
            label: "Try Again",
            onClick: () => window.location.reload()
          }}
        />
      </div>
    );
  }
}

export default BlogPage;

// ✅ Handles errors within component
// ✅ Custom error UI
// ✅ Handles empty state
// ✅ More control than error.tsx

Empty States

Show helpful empty states when there's no data:

Reusable Empty State Component

components/EmptyState.tsx
interface EmptyStateProps {
  icon?: string;
  title: string;
  description: string;
  action?: {
    label: string;
    href?: string;
    onClick?: () => void;
  };
}

export function EmptyState({
  icon = '📭',
  title,
  description,
  action,
}: EmptyStateProps) {
  return (
    <div className="text-center py-12">
      {/* Icon */}
      <div className="text-6xl mb-4">{icon}</div>

      {/* Title */}
      <h3 className="text-2xl font-bold mb-2">{title}</h3>

      {/* Description */}
      <p className="text-gray-600 mb-6 max-w-md mx-auto">
        {description}
      </p>

      {/* Action */}
      {action && (
        action.href ? (
          
            href={action.href}
            className="inline-block px-6 py-3 bg-blue-600 text-white rounded-lg hover:bg-blue-700 transition font-semibold"
          >
            {action.label}
          </a>
        ) : (
          <button
            onClick={action.onClick}
            className="px-6 py-3 bg-blue-600 text-white rounded-lg hover:bg-blue-700 transition font-semibold"
          >
            {action.label}
          </button>
        )
      )}
    </div>
  );
}

// Usage examples:
// <EmptyState
//   icon="📝"
//   title="No posts yet"
//   description="Start writing your first blog post today."
//   action={{ label: "Create Post", href: "/blog/new" }}
// />

// <EmptyState
//   icon="🔍"
//   title="No results found"
//   description="Try adjusting your search or filters."
//   action={{ label: "Clear Filters", onClick: clearFilters }}
// />

// ✅ Reusable across the app
// ✅ Clear message
// ✅ Actionable (tells user what to do)
// ✅ Customizable

Context-Specific Empty States

app/blog/page.tsx
async function BlogPage({ searchParams }: { searchParams: { q?: string } }) {
  const query = searchParams.q || '';
  
  const posts = await fetch(
    `https://api.example.com/posts?q=${encodeURIComponent(query)}`
  ).then(r => r.json());

  // Empty state for search results
  if (query && posts.length === 0) {
    return (
      <div className="container mx-auto px-4 py-8">
        <h1 className="text-3xl font-bold mb-8">Search Results</h1>
        <EmptyState
          icon="🔍"
          title={`No results for "${query}"`}
          description="Try different keywords or browse all posts."
          action={{ label: "View All Posts", href: "/blog" }}
        />
      </div>
    );
  }

  // Empty state for no posts at all
  if (posts.length === 0) {
    return (
      <div className="container mx-auto px-4 py-8">
        <h1 className="text-3xl font-bold mb-8">Blog</h1>
        <EmptyState
          icon="📝"
          title="No posts yet"
          description="Be the first to share your thoughts. Create a post to get started."
          action={{ label: "Create First Post", href: "/blog/new" }}
        />
      </div>
    );
  }

  // Normal state - show posts
  return (
    <div className="container mx-auto px-4 py-8">
      <h1 className="text-3xl font-bold mb-8">
        {query ? `Search: "${query}"` : 'Blog Posts'}
      </h1>
      <div className="space-y-6">
        {posts.map(post => (
          <PostCard key={post.id} post={post} />
        ))}
      </div>
    </div>
  );
}

// ✅ Different empty states for different scenarios
// ✅ Context-specific messages
// ✅ Helpful actions

Reusable State Components

Error Message Component

components/ErrorMessage.tsx
interface ErrorMessageProps {
  title: string;
  message: string;
  action?: {
    label: string;
    onClick: () => void;
  };
  severity?: 'error' | 'warning' | 'info';
}

export function ErrorMessage({
  title,
  message,
  action,
  severity = 'error',
}: ErrorMessageProps) {
  const colors = {
    error: 'bg-red-50 border-red-200 text-red-800',
    warning: 'bg-yellow-50 border-yellow-200 text-yellow-800',
    info: 'bg-blue-50 border-blue-200 text-blue-800',
  };

  const icons = {
    error: '❌',
    warning: '⚠️',
    info: 'ℹ️',
  };

  return (
    <div className={`border-2 rounded-lg p-6 ${colors[severity]}`}>
      <div className="flex items-start gap-4">
        <span className="text-3xl">{icons[severity]}</span>
        
        <div className="flex-1">
          <h3 className="text-xl font-bold mb-2">{title}</h3>
          <p className="mb-4">{message}</p>
          
          {action && (
            <button
              onClick={action.onClick}
              className="px-4 py-2 bg-white border-2 border-current rounded-lg font-semibold hover:bg-opacity-10 transition"
            >
              {action.label}
            </button>
          )}
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  );
}

// Usage:
// <ErrorMessage
//   severity="error"
//   title="Failed to Load"
//   message="Could not fetch blog posts. Please try again."
//   action={{ label: "Retry", onClick: () => router.refresh() }}
// />

// ✅ Flexible for different severity levels
// ✅ Consistent error display
// ✅ Reusable across app

State Handling Best Practices

1. Always Provide Loading States

TYPESCRIPT
// ✅ GOOD: Loading state provided
export default function Page() {
  return (
    <div>
      <Suspense fallback={<LoadingSkeleton />}>
        <DataComponent />
      </Suspense>
    </div>
  );
}

// ❌ BAD: No loading state
export default function Page() {
  return (
    <div>
      <DataComponent /> {/* User sees nothing while loading */}
    </div>
  );
}

2. Match Skeleton to Actual Layout

TYPESCRIPT
// ✅ GOOD: Skeleton matches layout
function PostListSkeleton() {
  return (
    <div className="space-y-6">
      {[1, 2, 3].map(i => (
        <div key={i} className="border rounded-lg p-6 animate-pulse">
          <div className="h-6 bg-gray-200 rounded w-3/4 mb-4" />
          <div className="h-4 bg-gray-200 rounded w-full mb-2" />
          <div className="h-4 bg-gray-200 rounded w-5/6" />
        </div>
      ))}
    </div>
  );
}

// ❌ BAD: Generic spinner (doesn't match layout)
function PostListSkeleton() {
  return <div className="spinner" />; // Layout shifts when loaded
}

3. Provide Helpful Error Messages

TYPESCRIPT
// ✅ GOOD: Specific, actionable error message
return (
  <ErrorMessage
    title="Connection Failed"
    message="Please check your internet connection and try again."
    action={{ label: "Retry", onClick: retry }}
  />
);

// ❌ BAD: Generic error message
return <div>Error</div>;

// ❌ BAD: Technical jargon
return <div>Error: ECONNREFUSED at port 3000</div>;

4. Handle Empty States Gracefully

TYPESCRIPT
// ✅ GOOD: Helpful empty state with action
if (posts.length === 0) {
  return (
    <EmptyState
      title="No posts yet"
      description="Create your first post to get started."
      action={{ label: "Create Post", href: "/blog/new" }}
    />
  );
}

// ❌ BAD: Just showing nothing
if (posts.length === 0) {
  return <div>No posts</div>;
}

// ❌ BAD: Treating empty as error
if (posts.length === 0) {
  throw new Error('No posts found');
}

5. Avoid Loading State Flashing

TYPESCRIPT
// ✅ GOOD: Use cache to avoid flashing
async function getData() {
  const res = await fetch('https://api.example.com/data', {
    next: { revalidate: 60 }, // Cache for 60 seconds
  });
  return res.json();
}

// When cached, loads instantly - no loading state shown
// When not cached, shows loading state

// ❌ BAD: No cache, always shows loading
async function getData() {
  const res = await fetch('https://api.example.com/data', {
    cache: 'no-store', // Always fetches, always shows loading
  });
  return res.json();
}

// Tip: Cache aggressively to reduce loading state frequency

6. Progressive Enhancement

TYPESCRIPT
// ✅ GOOD: Show critical content first, stream in rest
export default function Page() {
  return (
    <div>
      {/* Critical content - no Suspense, loads immediately */}
      <Header />
      <Hero />

      {/* Secondary content - can load progressively */}
      <Suspense fallback={<StatsSkeleton />}>
        <Stats />
      </Suspense>

      <Suspense fallback={<ArticlesSkeleton />}>
        <RecentArticles />
      </Suspense>
    </div>
  );
}

// ✅ User sees something immediately
// ✅ Secondary content streams in
// ✅ Better perceived performance
