bugsy

Helper to deal with errors lifecycle in javascript.

Dealing with errors is a common problem in every small or large project. While a lot of libraries simply focus on their creation, this library is meant to deal with their lifecycle.

Features

• Universal module
• Error severity
• Custom metadata
• Flowtype

Installation

With NPM:

$ npm install bugsy

With Yarn:

$ yarn add bugsy

Usage

import * as bugsy from 'bugsy';

const RAN_AWAY = 'ran_away';
const THROW_MISSED = 'throw_missed';

const ranAway = bugsy.createDynamicError(RAN_AWAY, (name) => `${name} ran away, again`);
const throwMissed = bugsy.createError(THROW_MISSED, 'Throw totally missed');

function capture(name) {
  const r = Math.random();

  if (r < 0.3) {
    throw throwMissed();
  } else if (r < 0.6) {
    throw ranAway(name);
  } else {
    throw new Error();
  }
}

function handler(fn) {
  try {
    fn();
  } catch (err) {
    console.log(bugsy.toString(err));
  }
}

handler(() => {
  try {
    capture('Abra');
  } catch (err) {
    switch (err.code) {
      case THROW_MISSED:
        console.log('Oh well...');
        break;
      case RAN_AWAY:
        throw err.setSeverity(bugsy.syslog.CRITICAL).addMeta({ firstTry: true });
      default:
        throw bugsy.convert(err).setSeverity(bugsy.syslog.EMERGENCY);
    }
  }
});
