logged-errors

logged-errors

This module is a simple fork of the restify-errors with some chainable features:

• it can log the error using an external logger (e.g. winston)
• it can show the error stack in the body of the error
• it can format the log output
• it works both in Node and browser

Installation

Install logged-errors as usual:

$ npm install --save logged-errors

For browser environment add logged-error.js file in build folder.

Example

// see the examples folder

// dependencies
var LoggedErrors = require('logged-errors');

// add the stack to the body of the error
throw new LoggedErrors.NotFoundError('some error').withStack().log();

// the following statements are equivalent
throw new LoggedErrors.NotFoundError('some error').withStack().toArray().log();
throw new LoggedErrors.NotFoundError('some error').withStack(true).log();

// set a new formatter and your logger (default is console)
LoggedErrors.set({
    formatter: function (e) {
        return 'error occurred: ' + e.message;
    }
});
