How to Create a Stylish Error Page in Vue.js
Handling error gracefully is an important aspect of any web application. In this post, we’ll provide a detailed step-by-step guide on how to create a cool, visually appealing, and user-friendly error page in Vue.js. Get ready to combine clean error messages, eye-catching animations, and custom styles.
Step 1: Create Vue Project
If you don’t already have a Vue project, you can create a new Vue project using Vue CLI:

3
npm install -g @vue/cli
vue create vue-error-page
cd vue-error-page
Step 2: Craft the Error Page
We’re going to create an error page equipped with custom components, styles, and animations. For this guide, we’ll create a 404-error page.
Create Error Page Component:
First, create a new file in the src/components directory and name it ErrorPage.vue.

Step 3: Integrate Error Page into the App
Now that you have your ErrorPage.vue component ready, we need to incorporate it into our Vue Router configuration so it can be displayed when a user attempts to access a non-existent page.
Configure Vue Router:
Make sure you have vue-router installed:
1
npm install vue-router
Then, add the router to your application. Open src/router/index.js (or create it if it doesn’t exist) and configure the router to display the error page if no route matches.
```javascript // src/router/index.js import { createRouter, createWebHistory } from ‘vue-router’; import Home from ‘../views/Home.vue’; import
