# addErrorHandler()

Mounts an error handling function, to be called when the messaging framework encounters an error.

## Sample

Used within a JavaScript app uploaded as a static resource and referenced by `lightning:container`, this example mounts a message error handling function. In a React app, functions must be mounted to be part of the document-object model and rendered in the output.

```javascript
componentDidMount() {
  LCC.addErrorHandler(this.onMessageError);
}
```
