Slice a file or directory from the middle of an Error stack trace
npm install stack-sliceSlice a file or directory from the middle of an Error stack trace
Sometimes you get an error at a point when you are the middle man, and you want to remove your function from the stack.
usualy if you are a masheling function and dont want to litter the stack with your implementation.
It is too late to use captureStackTrace thus this allows you to splice your call sites out of the stack.
###stackSlice(error, path[, allowPartialMatch])
`` javascript
var stackSlice = require('stack-slice'),
error = new Error('BANG!!!');
// Assume error.stack is the following
// Error: BANG!!!
// at run (/foo/bar/myCoolModule/node_modules/someOtherModule/node_modulesrun.js:11:11)
// at foo (/foo/bar/myCoolModule/node_modules/someOtherModule/run.js:11:11)
// at bar (/foo/bar/myCoolModule/run.js:11:11)
// at stuff (/foo/bar/myCoolModule/main.js:11:11)
// at processImmediate [as _immediateCallback] (timers.js:11:11)
stackSlice(error, '/foo/bar/myCoolModule/main.js');
// error.stack is now
// Error: BANG!!!
// at run (/foo/bar/myCoolModule/node_modules/someOtherModule/node_modulesrun.js:11:11)
