Throwing validation error only with stack trace

[nikola1912]

Hi all!

I'm trying to implement a catch block that would console.error the stack string from ZodError if the error is an instance of ZodError. Otherwise it should log the whole error value. So I have something like this:

  try {
    const response = await storeAndValidate(data)
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error instanceof ZodError ? error.stack : error)
  }

I want to avoid having to check if error is an instance of ZodError in order to log error.stack. My idea was to somehow make z throw error.stack directly. That way I wouldn't have to check error instanceof ZodError in every place I want to log the stack trace, I would simply write console.error(error) because I know that error would be the stack trace itself.

So basically the code from above would become this and the resulting error logs would look the same:

  try {
    const response = await storeAndValidate(data)
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error)
  }

Is this possible to implement?

Try this.

const logErrorStack = err => {
    console.error('stack' in err ? err.stack : err)
}

try {
    const response = await storeAndValidate(data)
} catch (error) {
    logErrorStack(error)
}
