What is clean-stack?
The clean-stack npm package is designed to clean up error stack traces. It removes the noise from stack traces, making them easier to read and understand. This is particularly useful in development and production environments where error logs can become cluttered with irrelevant paths and lines. By simplifying stack traces, developers can more quickly identify the source of errors.
What are clean-stack's main functionalities?
Cleaning stack traces
This feature allows you to clean up the stack trace of an error. The `cleanStack` function takes an error stack as input and returns a cleaner, more readable version of it. This is particularly useful for logging and error handling in applications.
const cleanStack = require('clean-stack');
const error = new Error('An error occurred!');
console.log(cleanStack(error.stack));
