Package Exports

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

Readme

silent-error

An error subclass for humanized errors. This module allows for inter-module detection of errors which are fatal, but where a stacktrace by default provides negative value.

Some use-cases:

command in your CLI tool is missing
plugin to your build system is given invalid user-input.

Obviously stack traces can still be valuable. To view the stacks, the following environment variable can be set to true

SILENT_ERROR=verbose <run program>

Example

// in one node module
async function runCommand(name) {
   // some logic
   throw new SilentError(`command: '${name}' is not installed`);
}

// in another node_module
async function caller() {

  try {
    await runCommand('foo');
  } catch(e) {
    SilentError.debugOrThrow(e);
  }

  SilentError.debugOrThrow
}

Installation

yarn add silent-error

npm install --save silent-error
