This package exports the classes DynamicError and ExtendableError.
ExtendableError (from the ts-error package) is a base error class that can be extended to achieve custom error classes with a working inheritance hierarchy, supporting all browsers (including very old versions) and of course node.
DynamicError (from the dynamic-error package) extends ExtendableError and can(re-)compute its message and stack trace dynamically when its state changes. It is useful for error messages that dynamically depend on props passed in the error constructor.
`ts
import { DynamicError, ExtendableError } from "@service/error
class MyExtendableError extends ExtendableError {
constructor() {
super("An optional error message");
}
}
class MyDynamicError
protected someVar: T;
constructor(someVar: T) {
super(() => {
this.someVar = someVar;
});
}
public errorMessage() {
return Some error message depending on properties of this object, like someVar${this.someVar};
}
}
try {
throw new MyDynamicError(42);
} catch (e) {
if (e instanceof DynamicError) {
console.error("A DynamicError has been caught", e);
}
if (e instanceof ExtendableError) {
console.error("An ExtendableError has been caught. In this example both lines will thus get printed");
}
}
