Cstack NPM | npm.io

CStack

Debug your code, not the Runtime

TypeScript supported
CommonJS (Node.js) supported
ECMAScript Modules (ESM) supported

Why

As a developer you'll often need to inspect call stacks to debug your code, not the Runtime. Tools like Error.stack() provide more information than needed, cluttering your call stack with Runtime internals (i.e. node:internals) which you don't care about; you're only concerned with your code.

Installation

npm i cstack # includes type definitions for TypeScript support

Example

import cstack from "cstack";

function firstCall() {
  console.debug("1");
  secondCall();
}

function secondCall() {
  console.debug("2");
  thirdCall();
}

function thirdCall() {
  console.debug("3");
  console.log(cstack.getStack()); // -> StackFrame[]
  console.log(cstack.getParent("secondCall")); // -> "firstCall"
  console.log(cstack.getTrace(true)); // -> reversed stack trace (chronological)
}

firstCall();
