Usage

Initiate any one of the exception classes.

if (item == null) {
throw new NotFoundException("Item not found.");
}

Check the type of exception we are dealing with:

var err = new Exception();

err instanceof Exception // → true
err instanceof Error // → true
Exception.prototype.isPrototypeOf(err) // → true
Error.prototype.isPrototypeOf(err) // → true
err.constructor.name // → "Exception"
err.name // → "Exception"
err.message // → "No description"
err.toString() // → "[Exception] No description"
err.stack // → prints the stack trace

Handle specific exception types using exception's constructor property:

try {
foo("valA", "valB");
}
catch (e) {
if (e instanceof ArgumentException) {
console.error(e.toString());
}
else if (e instanceof InvalidInputException) {
console.error(e.toString());
}
else {
console.error(e.toString());
}
}
