Package Exports

make-error-cause

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 (make-error-cause) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Make Error Cause

Make your own nested error types!

Features

Compatible with Node and browsers
Works with instanceof
Use error.stack and error.name
Output full cause with toString
Extends make-error

Installation

npm install make-error-cause --save

Usage

Usages from make-error. The only difference is that errors accept a second argument known as the error "cause". The cause is used to wrap original errors with more intuitive feedback - for instance, wrapping a raw database error in a HTTP error.

const CustomError = makeErrorCause('CustomError')

const cause = new Error('boom!')
const error = new CustomError('something bad', cause)

error.toString() //=> "CustomError: something bad\nCaused by: boom!"
error.stack // Works!
error.cause.stack // Handy!

Attribution

Inspired by verror, and others, but created lighter and without core dependencies for browser usage.
