Typescript Custom Error

Extend native Error to create custom errors

ts-custom-error is a tiny (~500 bytes of minified & gzipped Javascript) package providing a CustomError class and a customErrorFactory function to easily extends native Error in node and evergreen browsers.

It's written in Typescript and try to offer the best development and debug experiences: bundled in Javascript with Typescript definition files, map files and bundled js files for various environments: transpiled to es5 with commonjs, module and umd exports, the umd bundle is also available minified for easy import in browsers.

Why

Because extending native Error in node and in browsers is tricky

class MyError extends Error {
	constructor(m) {
		super(m)
	}
}

doesn't work as expected in ES6 and is broken in Typescript.

Use CustomError class

Simply extends and call super in you custom constructor.

import { CustomError } from 'ts-custom-error'

class HttpError extends CustomError {
	public constructor(
		public code: number,
		message?: string,
	) {
		super(message)
	}
}

...

new HttpError(404, 'Not found')

You may want more advanced contructor logic and custom methods, see examples

Use customErrorFactory factory

Custom error contructor returned by the factory pass the same unit tests as Class constructor.

Factory still allows custom logic inside constructor:

import { customErrorFactory } from 'ts-custom-error'

const HttpError = customErrorFactory(function HttpError (code: number, message= '') {
	this.code = code
	this.message = message
})

...

new HttpError(404, 'Not found')

Custom Error from customErrorFactory can:

• Be called as a simple function ts HttpError(404, 'Not found')
• Extend any native Error, using the second optional argument ```ts import { customErrorFactory } from 'ts-custom-error'

const ValidationError = customErrorFactory(function ValidationError (message= 'Invalid parameter') { this.message = message }, TypeError)

### Known limitations

#### Minification and transpilation mangle custom Error names.
Unexpected results are:
- Minified identifiers in place of custom Error name in Stacktrace
- Wrong error recognition where using errors name (bad practice) instead of `instanceof`

You may fix this behaviour by:
- Using [uglifyjs options](https://github.com/mishoo/UglifyJS2/blob/harmony/README.md) `--mangle 'except=["MyError"]'` (need to specify all custom error names) or `--keep_fnames` / `--keep_classnames` (nothing to specify but your bundle size will be larger)
- Setting explicitly error name:

```ts
import { CustomError } from 'ts-custom-error'

class MyError extends CustomError {
	constructor() {
		super()
		// Set name explicitly as minification can mangle class names
		Object.defineProperty(this, 'name', { value: 'MyError' })
	}
}

import { customErrorFactory } from 'ts-custom-error'

const MyError = customErrorFactory(function MyError () {
	// Set name explicitly as minification can remove function expression names
	Object.defineProperty(this, 'name', { value: 'MyError' })
})

Usefull development commands

• Watch source changes and run corresponding unit tests

  npm start
  

• Run all unit tests

  npm test

Automate all the things

⚠️ This project is mainly a pet project and its first purpose is to be a playground for various external services and tools:

• opinionated code style mostly inspired from standardjs
• automatic code formating with prettier
• code quality analysis by codeclimate, bithound, bettercodehub & CodeQL
• automated continuous integration on travis github actions & Dependabot
• automated semantic versioning with changelog generation and release deployment on npm and github thanks to semantic-release
