|
> Easily subclass and customize new Error types |
|
|
|
## Examples |
|
To include in your project: |
|
```javascript |
|
var errorEx = require('error-ex'); |
|
``` |
|
|
|
To create an error message type with a specific name (note, that `ErrorFn.name` |
|
will not reflect this): |
|
```javascript |
|
var JSONError = errorEx('JSONError'); |
|
|
|
var err = new JSONError('error'); |
|
err.name; //-> JSONError |
|
throw err; //-> JSONError: error |
|
``` |
|
|
|
To add a stack line: |
|
```javascript |
|
var JSONError = errorEx('JSONError', {fileName: errorEx.line('in %s')}); |
|
|
|
var err = new JSONError('error') |
|
err.fileName = '/a/b/c/foo.json'; |
|
throw err; //-> (line 2)-> in /a/b/c/foo.json |
|
``` |
|
|
|
To append to the error message: |
|
```javascript |
|
var JSONError = errorEx('JSONError', {fileName: errorEx.append('in %s')}); |
|
|
|
var err = new JSONError('error'); |
|
err.fileName = '/a/b/c/foo.json'; |
|
throw err; //-> JSONError: error in /a/b/c/foo.json |
|
``` |
|
|
|
## API |
|
|
|
#### `errorEx([name], [properties])` |
|
Creates a new ErrorEx error type |
|
|
|
- `name`: the name of the new type (appears in the error message upon throw; |
|
defaults to `Error.name`) |
|
- `properties`: if supplied, used as a key/value dictionary of properties to |
|
use when building up the stack message. Keys are property names that are |
|
looked up on the error message, and then passed to function values. |
|
- `line`: if specified and is a function, return value is added as a stack |
|
entry (error-ex will indent for you). Passed the property value given |
|
the key. |
|
- `stack`: if specified and is a function, passed the value of the property |
|
using the key, and the raw stack lines as a second argument. Takes no |
|
return value (but the stack can be modified directly). |
|
- `message`: if specified and is a function, return value is used as new |
|
`.message` value upon get. Passed the property value of the property named |
|
by key, and the existing message is passed as the second argument as an |
|
array of lines (suitable for multi-line messages). |
|
|
|
Returns a constructor (Function) that can be used just like the regular Error |
|
constructor. |
|
|
|
```javascript |
|
var errorEx = require('error-ex'); |
|
|
|
var BasicError = errorEx(); |
|
|
|
var NamedError = errorEx('NamedError'); |
|
|
|
// -- |
|
|
|
var AdvancedError = errorEx('AdvancedError', { |
|
foo: { |
|
line: function (value, stack) { |
|
if (value) { |
|
return 'bar ' + value; |
|
} |
|
return null; |
|
} |
|
} |
|
} |
|
|
|
var err = new AdvancedError('hello, world'); |
|
err.foo = 'baz'; |
|
throw err; |
|
|
|
/* |
|
AdvancedError: hello, world |
|
bar baz |
|
at tryReadme() (readme.js:20:1) |
|
*/ |
|
``` |
|
|
|
#### `errorEx.line(str)` |
|
Creates a stack line using a delimiter |
|
|
|
> This is a helper function. It is to be used in lieu of writing a value object |
|
> for `properties` values. |
|
|
|
- `str`: The string to create |
|
- Use the delimiter `%s` to specify where in the string the value should go |
|
|
|
```javascript |
|
var errorEx = require('error-ex'); |
|
|
|
var FileError = errorEx('FileError', {fileName: errorEx.line('in %s')}); |
|
|
|
var err = new FileError('problem reading file'); |
|
err.fileName = '/a/b/c/d/foo.js'; |
|
throw err; |
|
|
|
/* |
|
FileError: problem reading file |
|
in /a/b/c/d/foo.js |
|
at tryReadme() (readme.js:7:1) |
|
*/ |
|
``` |
|
|
|
#### `errorEx.append(str)` |
|
Appends to the `error.message` string |
|
|
|
> This is a helper function. It is to be used in lieu of writing a value object |
|
> for `properties` values. |
|
|
|
- `str`: The string to append |
|
- Use the delimiter `%s` to specify where in the string the value should go |
|
|
|
```javascript |
|
var errorEx = require('error-ex'); |
|
|
|
var SyntaxError = errorEx('SyntaxError', {fileName: errorEx.append('in %s')}); |
|
|
|
var err = new SyntaxError('improper indentation'); |
|
err.fileName = '/a/b/c/d/foo.js'; |
|
throw err; |
|
|
|
/* |
|
SyntaxError: improper indentation in /a/b/c/d/foo.js |
|
at tryReadme() (readme.js:7:1) |
|
*/ |
|
``` |
