stackless unless otherwise requested error
npm install silent-errorAn error subclass for humanized errors. This module allows for inter-module detection of errors which are fatal, but where a stacktrace by default provides negative value.
Some use-cases:
* command in your CLI tool is missing
* plugin to your build system is given invalid user-input.
Obviously stack traces can still be valuable. To view the stacks, the following environment variable can be set to true
```
SILENT_ERROR=verbose
`jscommand: '${name}' is not installed
// in one node module
async function runCommand(name) {
// some logic
throw new SilentError();`
}
`js
// in another node_module
async function caller() {
try {
await runCommand('foo');
} catch(e) {
SilentError.debugOrThrow(e);
}
SilentError.debugOrThrow
}
`
``
yarn add silent-error
or
```
npm install --save silent-error
