## Errors : <code>object</code> # Custom and Explicit Javascript Error Classes
objectbower install browser-error-classes
Easy to read custom and extensible error classes for the browser which extend the native error classes.
Include all the errors with Error.js OR include just what you need from the lib/ dir.
Sometimes, just throwing an error isn't that helpful. Sometimes, handling an error elegantly preventing a crash just isn't quite good enough sometimes you want to handle explicit errors in the UI in specific ways. During team development there are times when you want to throw explicit errors to both help developers understand whats going on, as well as enforce some strict rules. That is what this module is for.
