Source-Code-Error

Render Error for Source-Code

About

This is a small wrapper around the @babel/code-frame module for rendering a nice error message for source-code with a colorized code frame.

Usage

Installation:

$ npm install error-frame

Usage:

const sourceCodeError = require("source-code-error")

const code = `foo bar\n    baz quux\nfoo bar`

let report = sourceCodeError({
    message:  "Unknown error",
    origin:   "somewhere",
    filename: "foo.txt",
    code:     code,
    line:     2,
    column:   5,
    colors:   true,
    newline:  false
})

console.log(report)

Output:

ERROR: file "./foo.txt", line 2, column 5:
       Unknown error [somewhere]
  1 | foo bar
> 2 |     baz quux
    |     ^
  3 | foo bar
