Exception Object
Allows you to create custom exceptions that hold a JSON object and an inner exception.
Definition
new JL.Exception(data: any, public inner?: any)
Parameters
data | String or object to be stored in the exception, or a function that returns the string or object to be stored in the exception. |
---|---|
inner | Exception to be stored inside this exception. |
Remarks
The JSNLog Exception object is a more powerful version of JavaScript's Error object. For comparison sake, the Error object looks like this:
new Error(message?: string)
The Exception object differs from the Error object in these ways:
- Unlike the Error object's message parameter, the Exception object's data parameter can take not only strings, but also JSON objects and functions. If you pass in a function, it will be executed. The function's return value will be used as the value of the exception.
- You can store an inner exception, as shown in this example.
Examples
Simple try-catch, using console log to write the exception message to the console:
try { // Exception value is an object throw new JL.Exception({ "i": 1, "j": 2 }); } catch (e) { // Logs the message: // Uncaught JL.Exception: {"i":1,"j":2} console.log(e.message); }
