How to catch all exceptions in Laravel

Question

I was wondering if there is a way to catch all the exceptions that are thrown in a laravel app and store them in database ?

I have been looking at some packages but coudn't find anything that tells where and how to catch the exceptions.

Answer 1

for catch all errors and log them you need to edit App\Exceptions\Handler file like this

 public function render($request, Exception $exception)
{
    if ($exception){
        // log the error
        return response()->json([
            'status' => $exception->getStatusCode(),
            'error' => $exception->getMessage()
        ]);
   }
    return parent::render($request, $exception);
}

Answer 2

As stated in the Docs, You need to have to customize the render() method of App\Exceptions\Handler.

Edit the app/Exceptions/Handler.php:

public function render($request, Exception $e)
{
    $error =$e->getMessage();

    //do your stuff with the error message 

    return parent::render($request, $exception);
}
