errnode
Universal API for creating Node.js errors
Contents
What is this?
This package provides a universal API for creating Node.js errors.
When should I use this?
This package is designed to help developers build ponyfills, as well as more verbose tools like
mlly, by providing a set of utilities and constructor functions for creating Node.js errors.
Install
This package is ESM only.
In Node.js (version 18+) with yarn:
yarn add @flex-development/errnodeIn Deno with esm.sh:
import { ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND } from 'https://esm.sh/@flex-development/errnode'In browsers with esm.sh:
<script type="module">
import { ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND } from 'https://esm.sh/@flex-development/errnode'
</script>Use
Say we have the file example.mjs:
import { ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE, isNodeError } from '@flex-development/errnode'
/**
* Ensure `value` is a string.
*
* @see {@linkcode ErrInvalidArgType}
*
* @param {unknown} value
* Value supplied by user
* @param {string} name
* Name of invalid argument or property
* @return {value is string}
* `true` if `value` is a string
* @throws {import('@flex-development/errnode').ErrInvalidArgType}
* If `value` is not a string
*/
function validateString(value, name) {
if (typeof value === 'string') return true
throw new ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE(name, 'string', value)
}
try {
validateString(null, 'path')
} catch (e) {
console.log('isNodeError:', isNodeError(e))
console.log('TypeError:', e instanceof TypeError, '\n')
throw e
}...running node example.mjs yields:
isNodeError: true
TypeError: true
file:///node_modules/@flex-development/errnode/dist/internal/stack-trace.mjs:9
Error.captureStackTrace(error);
^
TypeError: The 'path' argument must be of type string. Received null

There is no default export.
Errors
Constructor functions representing Node.js error codes. Constructor arguments are used to build error messages.
Errors (and their types) can be imported individually:
import {
ERR_INVALID_MODULE_SPECIFIER,
ERR_INVALID_PACKAGE_CONFIG,
ERR_INVALID_PACKAGE_TARGET,
ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND,
ERR_PACKAGE_IMPORT_NOT_DEFINED,
ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED,
ERR_UNSUPPORTED_DIR_IMPORT,
type ErrInvalidModuleSpecifier,
type ErrInvalidModuleSpecifierArgs,
type ErrInvalidModuleSpecifierConstructor,
type ErrInvalidPackageConfig,
type ErrInvalidPackageConfigArgs,
type ErrInvalidPackageConfigConstructor,
type ErrInvalidPackageTarget,
type ErrInvalidPackageTargetArgs,
type ErrInvalidPackageTargetConstructor,
type ErrModuleNotFound,
type ErrModuleNotFoundArgs,
type ErrModuleNotFoundConstructor,
type ErrPackageImportNotDefined,
type ErrPackageImportNotDefinedArgs,
type ErrPackageImportNotDefinedConstructor,
type ErrPackagePathNotExported,
type ErrPackagePathNotExportedArgs,
type ErrPackagePathNotExportedConstructor,
type ErrUnsupportedDirImport,
type ErrUnsupportedDirImportConstructor
} from '@flex-development/errnode'...or all at once using the errors export:
import { errors } from '@flex-development/errnode'See the source code for documentation.
Note: This package does not export a constructor for every error. Submit a feature request (or pull request if
you're up for the challenge \:wink:) to add a constructor.
E can be used instead, however.
E(code, Base, message)
Create a Node.js error constructor.
Constructor arguments are passed to format if the error message is a string, or message itself if it is
a function. Message functions are also called with the new Node.js error instance as this.
Signatures
function E<T extends NodeErrorConstructor>(
code: T['prototype']['code'],
Base: ErrorConstructor,
message: MessageFn<T['prototype'], Parameters<T>> | string
): T
function E<T extends NodeError, Args extends any[] = any[]>(
code: T['code'],
Base: ErrorConstructor,
message: MessageFn<T, Args>
): NodeErrorConstructor<T, Args>Parameters
code(Code) — error codeBase(ErrorConstructor) — base classmessage(MessageFn|string) — error message string or function
Returns
(NodeErrorConstructor) NodeError constructor.
codes
Node.js error codes.
See NODE_VERSIONS for a list of supported Node.js versions.
determineSpecificType(value)
Determine the specific type of a value for type-mismatch errors.
Parameters
value(unknown) — value to check
Returns
(string) specific type of value.
formatList(list[, type])
Create a list string in the form 'A and B' or 'A, B, ..., and Z.
Parameters
list(string | readonly string[]) — list to formattype('and' | 'or' | null | undefined, optional) — list transition type to insert before last element- default:
'and'
- default:
Returns
(string) formatted list.
hideStackFrames(fn)
Remove unnecessary frames from Node.js core errors.
Type Parameters
T(Fn) — function to wrap
Parameters

Returns
(T) the wrapped function.
isNodeError(value)
Check if value is a NodeError.
Parameters

syscodes
System error codes.
See NODE_VERSIONS for a list of supported Node.js versions.

- default:
Args(readonly any[], optional) — message arguments- default:
any[]
- default:

Properties
prototype(T) — node.js error prototype
NodeErrorMap
Registry of Node.js error codes (TypeScript interface).
When developing utilities that use more codes, augment NodeErrorMap to register those codes:
declare module '@flex-development/errnode' {
interface NodeErrorMap {
ERR_CUSTOM: true
}
}NodeError<[T]>
Node.js error object (TypeScript interface).
Type Parameters
T(Code, optional) — error code- default:
Code
- default:
Extends
Error
Properties
code(T) — error codetoString(() => string) — get a string representation of the error
Stringifiable
A value with a toString method (TypeScript interface).
Properties
toString(() => string) — get a string representation of the value
SystemCode
Union of registered codes that can occur where a system error code is expected (TypeScript type).
To register new codes, augment SystemErrorMap. They will be added to this union automatically.
type SystemCode = Extract<keyof SystemErrorMap, string>SystemErrorMap
Registry of system error codes (TypeScript interface).
When developing utilities that use more codes, augment SystemErrorMap to register those codes:
