plugin-error

Error handling for vinyl plugins. Just an abstraction of what's in gulp-util with minor changes.

Install with npm

$ npm i plugin-error --save

Usage

var PluginError = require('plugin-error');

new PluginError(pluginName, message[, options]);

Params

• pluginName should be the module name of your plugin
• message {String|Object}: may be a string or an existing error object
• options {Object}

Behavior:

• By default the stack will not be shown. Set options.showStack to true if you think the stack is important for your error.
• If you pass an error object as the message the stack will be pulled from that, otherwise one will be created.
• If you pass in a custom stack string you need to include the message along with that.
• Error properties will be included in err.toString(), but may be omitted by including {showProperties: false} in the options.

Examples

All of the following are acceptable forms of instantiation:

var err = new PluginError('test', {
  message: 'something broke'
});

var err = new PluginError({
  plugin: 'test',
  message: 'something broke'
});

var err = new PluginError('test', 'something broke');

var err = new PluginError('test', 'something broke', {showStack: true});

var existingError = new Error('OMG');
var err = new PluginError('test', existingError, {showStack: true});
