What is errlop?
Errlop is a utility for creating and managing error objects in JavaScript. It allows you to wrap errors, add additional context, and handle them in a more structured way.
What are errlop's main functionalities?
Creating a basic Errlop error
This feature allows you to create a basic Errlop error with a custom message.
const Errlop = require('errlop');
const error = new Errlop('Something went wrong');
console.log(error.message);
Wrapping an existing error
This feature allows you to wrap an existing error with a new Errlop error, preserving the original error as the cause.
const Errlop = require('errlop');
const originalError = new Error('Original error');
const wrappedError = new Errlop('Something went wrong', originalError);
console.log(wrappedError.message);
console.log(wrappedError.cause);
Adding additional context
This feature allows you to add additional context to an Errlop error, which can be useful for debugging.
const Errlop = require('errlop');
const error = new Errlop('Something went wrong', { context: 'Additional context' });
console.log(error.context);
Other packages similar to errlop
verror
VError is a library for creating and managing nested errors in JavaScript. It allows you to wrap errors and add additional context, similar to Errlop. However, VError provides more advanced features for error handling, such as error codes and multi-error support.
error-stack-parser
Error Stack Parser is a library for parsing and extracting information from error stack traces. While it does not provide the same error wrapping functionality as Errlop, it is useful for analyzing and debugging errors by extracting meaningful information from stack traces.
stacktrace-js
Stacktrace.js is a library for generating, parsing, and analyzing stack traces in JavaScript. It provides more advanced stack trace manipulation capabilities compared to Errlop, but does not focus on error wrapping and context management.
