Usage

Creating in instance

JavaScript

const {ErrorHandler} = require('@mitmaro/errors');
const errorHandler = new ErrorHandler((msg) => process.stderr.write(msg));

TypeScript

import {ErrorHandler} from '@mitmaro/errors';
const myLogger = async (msg: string = ''): Promise<void> => {process.stderr.write(msg)};
const errorHandler = new ErrorHandler(myLogger);

Registering a handler function

JavaScript

errorHandler.register((logger, err) => {
	if (err instanceof MyError) {
		logger('My Error Occurred');
		logger(err.message);
	}
});

TypeScript

const myErrorHandler = async <MyError>(logger: Logger, err: MyError) => {
	if (err instanceof MyError) {
		logger('My Error Occurred\n');
		logger(err.message);
		return true;
	}
	return false;
};

errorHandler.register(myErrorHandler);

Handling errors

JavaScript

try {
    throw new Error('My Error');
}
catch (err) {
	errorHandler.handle(err);
}

TypeScript

try {
	throw new Error('My Error');
}
catch (err) {
	errorHandler.handle(err);
}

Custom errors

This library exports two error that are meant to be extended when creating custom errors. They are RuntimeError this is meant for non-recoverable errors that may occur during the running of an application. The other is a BaseError that is meant for all other errors. Both errors take a optional cause argument that allows for an error chain. The error handler handles logging of errors that have a cause.

JavaScript

const {RuntimeError} = require('@mitmaro/errors');

class MyError extends RuntimeError {
	constructor(message, cause) {
		super(message, 'MyError', cause);
	}
}

TypeScript

import {RuntimeError} from '@mitmaro/errors';

class MyError extends RuntimeError {
	public constructor(message: string, cause?: error) {
		super(message, 'MyError', cause);
	}
}
