SerializableError

Errors that will JSON.stringify(). By default if you try and pass an error into JSON.stringify() it does not stringify the properties of the error. This does, but still allows you all the features of native Errors including being thrown.

Install

$ npm install serializableerror

Usage

var SerializableError = require('serializableerror');

var error = new SerializableError('An error has occured');

// instances of Error can be passed in also

var error = SerializableError(new Error('An error has occured'));

JSON.stringify(error);
// =>
//    {
//      name: 'Error',
//      message: 'An error has occured',
//      fileNumber: int, // only in mozilla
//      columnNumber: int, // only in mozilla
//      fileName: 'String', // only in mozilla
//      stack: 'Error: Testing SerializableError
