Framer Launches Code Boundaries for Better Error Handling
Posted on March 17, 2025Framer has introduced Code Boundaries, a comprehensive safety system that transforms how React components handle errors across the platform. This significant update automatically wraps every code element in protective boundaries, ensuring more robust error management.
In published sites, the new system intelligently manages component failures by concealing crashed elements while maintaining functionality of surrounding content. During optimization, components now attempt automatic re-rendering, with new code-crash
identifiers enabling precise debugging in Canvas.
The update delivers sophisticated Override management, allowing users to selectively disable problematic Overrides while preserving frame display functionality. This targeted approach prevents cascading failures that could previously affect entire sites.
Developers now have access to enhanced error handling capabilities and improved platform stability. The automatic implementation of error boundaries streamlines debugging workflows and prevents optimization issues that historically resulted in blank pages.
