Is there a way to create a toast error message on the frontend from within a doc, or field hook?

  if (operation === "create" && isDefaultLocale) {
    throw new Error("Pages must be created within the default locale.");
  }

  In order for an error to show up in the toast notification it must have the

  isPublic

  property on it.

  
  
  

  The easiest way to do this would be to extend our existing

  APIError

  with a new class, then throw that class. Here is an example:

  
  
  

  import { APIError } from 'payload/errors'
  class MySpecialError extends APIError {
    constructor(message: string) {
      super(message, 400, undefined, true)
    }
  }

  
  

  
  

  The 4th parameter is the

  isPublic

  value.

  
  

  
  

  Then throw as you'd expect

  throw new MySpecialError('Cannot create in default locale')
