pugneum-error

Standard pugneum error object factory function. This module is intended for useby the lexer, parser, loader, linker, renderer and any plugins.

Installation

npm install pugneum-error

Usage

var error = require('pugneum-error');

error(code, message, options)

Create a pugneum error object.

code is a required unique code for the error type that can be used to pinpoint a certain error.

message is a human-readable explanation of the error.

options can contain any of the following properties:

• filename: the name of the file causing the error
• line: the offending line
• column: the offending column
• source: the pugneum source, if available, for pretty-printing the error context

The resulting error object is a simple Error object with additional properties given in the arguments.

Caveat: the message argument is stored in err.msg, not err.message, which is occupied with a better-formatted message.

var error = require('pugneum-error');

var err = error('MY_CODE', 'My message', {line: 3, filename: 'myfile', source: 'foo\nbar\nbaz\nbash\nbing'});
// { code: 'PUGNEUM:MY_CODE',
//   msg: 'My message',
//   line: 3,
//   column: undefined,
//   filename: 'myfile',
//   source: 'foo\nbar\nbaz\nbash\nbing',
//   message: 'myfile:3\n    1| foo\n    2| bar\n  > 3| baz\n    4| bash\n    5| bing\n\nMy message' }

throw err;
