loggable-error
In those times when you need to log an error to somewhere other than standard output, this simple module stringifies Error objects in a format akin to console.log
:
// supports cjs require
const stringify = require('loggable-error');
// or esm import
// import stringify from 'loggable-error';
try {
throw new Error('testing one two three');
} catch(e) {
fs.writeFileSync(
'/home/jdoe/log.txt',
stringify(e)
);
}
Open up said file and you'll find something along the lines of:
Error: testing one two three
at Object.<anonymous> (/home/jdoe/test.js:7:9)

Stringification Options
Our exported function accepts a second options
argument, in case you want to control whether stack traces are displayed or the amount of starting indentation:
stringify(e, { stack: false });
// => 'Error: testing one two three'
stringify(e, { depth: 8 });
