error

Custom error constructors (without all the fuss).

Our errors have all the bells and whistles:

var error = require('error')
var NotFoundError = error('NotFoundError', {status:404})
var err = new NotFoundError('ohnoes')

err
//-> NotFoundError {}
err instanceof NotFoundError
//-> true
err instanceof Error
//-> true
err.name === 'NotFoundError'
//-> true
err.message
//-> 'ohnoes'
err.status
//-> 404

Install

With component or npm:

$ component install lvivier/error

$ npm install lvivier/error

Usage

error(name, [parent], [opts])

• returns a Function
• parent is the prototype, or Error if omitted
• opts is an object whose members will become properties of the error instance
• opts.stack if set to false, errors won't have stack traces
