cleanErrorStack

import { cleanErrorStack } from "@jchip/error";

try {
  require("oops");
} catch (err) {
  console.log(cleanErrorStack(err));
}

Output:

Error: Cannot find module 'oops'
Require stack:
- /Users/joel/error/test/samples.ts
    at Object.<anonymous> (test/samples.js:4:3)

aggregateErrorStack

Generate stack with aggregate errors from AggregateError

Example:

import { aggregateErrorStack, AggregateError } from "@jchip/error";

console.log(aggregateErrorStack(new AggregateError([new Error("error 1")], "test")));

Output:

AggregateError: test

AggregateError

• Polyfill for AggregateError
• node.js 15+ has built-in AggregateError

Example with cleanErrorStack:

import { cleanErrorStack, AggregateError } from "@jchip/error";

try {
  require("bad");
} catch (err) {
  console.log(cleanErrorStack(new AggregateError([err], "require failed")));
}

Output:

AggregateError: require failed
    at Object.<anonymous> (test/samples.js:12:31)
  Error: Cannot find module 'bad'
  Require stack:
  - /Users/joel/error/test/samples.js
      at Object.<anonymous> (test/samples.js:10:3)
