JSPM – assertion-error@2.0.1

Package Exports

assertion-error
assertion-error/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (assertion-error) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

AssertionError and AssertionResult classes.

What is AssertionError?

Assertion Error is a module that contains two classes: AssertionError, which is an instance of an Error, and AssertionResult which is not an instance of Error.

These can be useful for returning from a function - if the function "succeeds" return an AssertionResult and if the function fails return (or throw) an AssertionError.

Both AssertionError and AssertionResult implement the Result interface:

interface Result {
  name: "AssertionError" | "AssertionResult";
  ok: boolean;
  toJSON(...args: unknown[]): Record<string, unknown>;
}

So if a function returns AssertionResult | AssertionError it is easy to check which one is returned by checking either .name or .ok, or check instanceof Error.
