laravel custom exception handling

Question

I am new to Laravel framework. I need to add a custom exception error handler. I tried to add below code to my global.php file:

App::error(function(CustomException $exception, $code)
{
echo 'Debug: CustomException<br/>';
});

To throw this error I used below code in one of my controllers:

throw new CustomException();

But I am getting error as CustomException not found.

I googled it for solution, but everywhere I find the same solution.

Please help me to get this fixed.

After adding below code: App::error(function(InvalidRouteException $exception) { \Log::info('InvalidRouteException'); $code =404; $data = array('codeError' => $code, 'messageError' => 'Whoops, looks like something went wrong.'); return \View::make('404')->nest('content', 'error', $data); }); I get error route home not found exception, i am not able to see the view. I need to create a custom page where i can see the custom exception. — uday8486

You need to define your custom exception first. So at the top of your global.php file, add this:

class CustomException extends Exception {}

Of course, you can add custom properties and methods to this class as needed.

You can create your class (Ex.: app/Exceptions/MyCustomException.php), then add to composer.json autoload files.

"autoload": {
  "files":["app/Exceptions/MyCustomException.php]
}

Then: run a composer dumpautoload

Now, you can use your MyCustomException class.

<?php 

class MyCustomException extends \Exception {}

I like this approach better, if you want to throw a lot of exceptions in your application it's better to put them in a separate file
