Build Status Coverage Status

Common error classes

  • Suite of node.js Error classes like most other modern languages
  • Generate your own custom Error classes
  • Map HTTP status codes to Errors for automatic handling responses from web services and applications
  • Suitable to run on browsers (client-side)

Inspirations

This package was totally based on es6-error and common-errors.

Why

First of all I created this to support development of Kernel Framework.
So, why I don't used the existing packages? Well, es6-error is lightweight to use on client-side, but I wanted more features on ExtendableError and more pre-defined error types. And common-errors has a lot of pre-defined error types but has some code I don't need (lightweight is mandatory to kernel framework) and is not intended to use on browser.

Install

npm install @kernel/exceptions
