Properly update an error's stack.
In V8 (Chrome, Node.js, Deno, etc.),
error.stack
includes
error.message
.
However, if error.stack
is modified, error.message
is not updated
accordingly. This library fixes it.
In other JavaScript engines, this library just sets error.stack
.
Please reach out if you're looking for a Node.js API or CLI engineer (11 years of experience). Most recently I have been Netlify Build's and Netlify Plugins' technical lead for 2.5 years. I am available for full-time remote positions.
Without set-error-stack
:
const error = new Error('one')
console.log(error.stack) // 'Error: one ...'
console.log(error.message) // 'one'
error.stack = error.stack.replace('one', 'two')
console.log(error.stack) // 'Error: two ...'
console.log(error.message) // 'one'
With set-error-stack
:
import setErrorStack from 'set-error-stack'
const error = new Error('one')
console.log(error.stack) // 'Error: one ...'
console.log(error.message) // 'one'
setErrorStack(error, error.stack.replace('one', 'two'))
console.log(error.stack) // 'Error: two ...'
console.log(error.message) // 'two'
npm install set-error-stack
This package works in both Node.js >=18.18.0 and browsers.
This is an ES module. It must be loaded using
an import
or import()
statement,
not require()
. If TypeScript is used, it must be configured to
output ES modules,
not CommonJS.
error
Error | any
stack
string
Return value: Error
Sets error.stack = stack
. If needed, also modifies error.message
accordingly.
Returns error
. If error
is not an Error
instance, it is converted to one.
