``sh`
npm install clean-stack
`js
import cleanStack from 'clean-stack';
const error = new Error('Missing unicorn');
console.log(error.stack);
/*
Error: Missing unicorn
at Object.
at Module._compile (module.js:409:26)

`
Returns the cleaned stack or undefined if the given stack is undefined.
#### stack
Type: string | undefined
The stack property of an Error.
#### options
Type: object
##### pretty
Type: boolean\false
Default:
Prettify the file paths in the stack:
- /Users/sindresorhus/dev/clean-stack/unicorn.js:2:15 → ~/dev/clean-stack/unicorn.js:2:15
- → ~/dev/clean-stack/unicorn.js:2:15
When enabled, file URLs are converted to regular paths for better readability and IDE integration.
##### basePath
Type: string?
Remove the given base path from stack trace file paths, effectively turning absolute paths into relative ones. It will also transform absolute file URLs into relative paths.
Example with '/Users/sindresorhus/dev/clean-stack' as basePath:
/Users/sindresorhus/dev/clean-stack/unicorn.js:2:15 → unicorn.js:2:15
##### pathFilter
Type: (path: string) => boolean
Remove the stack lines where the given function returns false. The function receives the path part of the stack line.
`js
import cleanStack from 'clean-stack';
const error = new Error('Missing unicorn');
console.log(cleanStack(error.stack));
// Error: Missing unicorn
// at Object.
// at Object.
const pathFilter = path => !/omit-me/.test(path);
console.log(cleanStack(error.stack, {pathFilter}));
// Error: Missing unicorn
// at Object.
