Description

Summary

We often want to provide a "retry" button in the error state of the error boundary. An example how to combine this with the use hook would be very helpful.

Research direction

Start at the React documentation page for use and dealing with rejected promises: https://react.dev/reference/react/use#dealing-with-rejected-promises. Review the surrounding example and documentation structure, then add an example showing a retry button used with use and an error boundary; done means the page clearly demonstrates the retry flow.
