clean-stack
Advanced tools
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.
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));The 'stack-trace' package provides utilities for working with stack traces. It allows you to parse and inspect stack traces. Compared to 'clean-stack', 'stack-trace' offers more detailed manipulation and inspection capabilities but does not focus specifically on cleaning or simplifying the stack traces.
This package is used to parse JavaScript Error stack strings and extract stack frames from them. While 'error-stack-parser' focuses on parsing and extracting information from stack traces, 'clean-stack' is more about cleaning and simplifying them for better readability.
Clean up error stack traces
Removes the mostly unhelpful internal Node.js entries.
Also works in Electron.
$ npm install clean-stack
const cleanStack = require('clean-stack');
const error = new Error('Missing unicorn');
console.log(error.stack);
