Errors

You can handle errors occurred in the Video Editor SDK by using editor.on('error', ...).

const editor = await createShakrEditor({...});

editor.on('error', e => {
  switch (e.type) {
    default:
      console.log(e.type);
    break;
  }
);

Type of errors

You can explore the full list of errors in the ShakrEditorError Enum document of the SDK Reference section.

rendering

This error occurs as the video cannot be edited while being rendered.

archived

This error occurs as a previously downloaded RenderSession cannot be edited.

no_permission

This error occurs as the access token used in the editor does not have control over a particular RenderSession.

template_unavailable

This error occurs when the Creative Template used for the RenderSession is not usable.

Sample code

const editor = await createShakrEditor({...});

editor.on('error', e => {
  switch (e.type) {
    case 'rendering':
      console.warn('Cannot edit this render session, it has being rendered!');
    break;
    case 'archived':
      console.error('Cannot edit this render session, it has been archived.');
    break;
    case 'no_permission':
      console.error('You do not have permission to edit this render session');
    break;
    case 'template_unavailable':
      console.error('The video design used for this render session is no longer available.');
    break;
    default:
      // For future compatibility, make sure to handle "unknown" errors too.
    break;
  }
})
