catched-error-message
Why
Because you would like to run code as below:
try {
throw new Error("some crazy stuff");
} catch (error) {
doSomethingWithErrorMessage({ message: error.message });
}
But TypeScript defaults error type to unknown
. And this is actually correct, since you can throw literally anything:
throw 'messgae'
throw 123
throw {but: 'why?'}
throw null
throw undefined
...
Solution
This little package is a solution for thi problem. Just use it as below:
try {
throw new Error("some crazy stuff");
} catch (error) {
doSomethingWithErrorMessage({ message: getErrorMessage(error) });
}
And voilà, you get your message, no TS error.
