> Copy an [`error`][js-error] object.


## Installation

``` bash
$ npm install utils-copy-error
```


## Usage

``` javascript
var copy = require( 'utils-copy-error' );
```

#### copy( error )

Copy an [`error`][js-error] object.

``` javascript
var err1 = new TypeError( 'beep' );

var err2 = copy( err1 );
// returns <TypeError>
```


## Notes

*	Supported built-in `error` types:
	-	[`Error`][js-error]
	- 	[`URIError`][js-uri-error]
	-	[`ReferenceError`][js-reference-error]
	-	[`SyntaxError`][js-syntax-error]
	-	[`RangeError`][js-range-error]
	-	[`EvalError`][js-eval-error]
	-	[`TypeError`][js-type-error]
	-	[`System Error`][node-system-error] (Node.js)

*	The `function` also supports custom [`error`][js-error] types which are [`Error`][js-error] instances (e.g., ES2015 subclasses).
*	The `function` [deep copies][utils-copy] over all `enumerable` properties, including property descriptors. 


## Examples

``` javascript
var copy = require( 'utils-copy-error' );

var err1;
var err2;

err1 = new Error( 'beep' );
err2 = copy( err1 );

console.log( err1 === err2 );
// returns false

console.log( err1.message === err2.message );
// returns true

err1 = new TypeError( 'bad type' );
err2 = copy (err1 );

console.log( err1 === err2 );
// returns false

console.log( err1.stack === err2.stack );
// returns true

err1 = new RangeError( 'invalid value' );
err2 = copy( err1 );

console.log( err1 === err2 );
// returns false

console.log( err1.name === err2.name );
// returns true
```

To run the example code from the top-level application directory,

``` bash
$ node ./examples/index.js
```

## Tests

### Unit

This repository uses [tape][tape] for unit tests. To run the tests, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:

``` bash
$ make test
```

All new feature development should have corresponding unit tests to validate correct functionality.


### Test Coverage

This repository uses [Istanbul][istanbul] as its code coverage tool. To generate a test coverage report, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:

``` bash
$ make test-cov
```

Istanbul creates a `./reports/coverage` directory. To access an HTML version of the report,

``` bash
$ make view-cov
```


### Browser Support

This repository uses [Testling][testling] for browser testing. To run the tests in a (headless) local web browser, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:

``` bash
$ make test-browsers
```

To view the tests in a local web browser,

``` bash
$ make view-browser-tests
```
