Serialises error object to normal object

Package Exports

  • serialised-error

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

Readme

Serialised Error

This module attempts to convert an error object into a regular JavaScript object. This is useful if an error object has to be stored and operated upon.

Usage

var SerialisedError = require('serialised-error');

// assuming you have an error
var someError = new Error("This is a test error");

// convert the error to object (new operator is optional)
var serialisedError = new SerialisedError(someError);

// convert the serialised error to JSON
console.log(JSON.parse(serialisedError));

// this outputs:
// {"name": "Error", "message": "This is a test error", "stack": "Error\n   at ..."}

Adding additional meta information to error

Passing a second argument as true to the SerialisedError constructor adds the following keys to the serialised object.

Property Description
checksum a SHA1 checksum of the error that is constant for same name, message and stack
id a random UUID (v4) of the error
timestamp the time when the error was serialised
timestampISO the time (in ISO format) when the error was serialised
stacktrace a prettified array of stack traces

npm install serialised-error;
