Usage
Usages from make-error
. The only difference is that errors accept a second argument known as the error "cause". The cause is used to wrap original errors with more intuitive feedback - for instance, wrapping a raw database error in a HTTP error.
const CustomError = makeErrorCause('CustomError')
const cause = new Error('boom!')
const error = new CustomError('something bad', cause)
error.toString()
error.stack
error.cause.stack
