Common errors.

Install

API

type CustomErrorConstructor<T extends CustomError = CustomError> =
  new (message?: string) => T

interface SerializableError {
  name: string
  message: string
  stack: string | null
  ancestors: string[]
}

CustomError

class CustomError extends Error {}

CustomError has better default behaviors than Error:

• console.error prints the correct exception name, not Error.
• instanceof operator matches based on names rather than inheritance relationships, which helps SerializableError instanceof CustomError.

AssertionError

class AssertionError extends CustomError {}

isSerializableError

function isSerializableError(val: unknown): val is SerializableError

assert

/**
 * @throws {AssertionError}
 */
