bug: empty screen when URI is malformed about ionic-framework

[sean-perkins]

Hello @legendar thanks for opening up this issue.

I can confirm the issue with the malformed URI. Ionic Framework should not be causing an uncaught exception when decoding the URI. We can handle this exception and fallback the config object in these scenarios.

We want to handle this error using a React error boundary and render our standard error message instead.

This should be a concern of your application layer. When the location changes, attempt to decode the query parameters and catch any invalid cases that occur to handle in your React error boundaries.

How can we disable this behavior, as we don't want to allow reconfiguration of our app from the URL in production?

There is currently no way to opt-out of this behavior.

There is currently no way to opt-out of this behavior.

I see this in the code. However, what I mean is that we want to have a way to disable this behavior. Should I create a separate ticket for it?

@legendar yes, I would create a feature request around that specific API request to customize (opt-out) of that behavior. New APIs will be in a minor, but the malformed URI we can address in a patch.
