Class: WirestateError ​

Defined in: src/wirestate-core/error/wirestate-error.ts:30

Error type thrown for expected Wirestate API failures.

Remarks ​

Use code for programmatic checks and message for humans. Wirestate uses this for failures a caller can handle, such as invalid config, missing bindings, missing required handlers, and lifecycle access after disposal.

Example ​

typescript
import { Container, WirestateError } from "@wirestate/core";

class MissingService {}

const container = new Container();

try {
  container.get(MissingService);
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof WirestateError) {
    console.error(error.code, error.message);
  }
}

Constructors ​

Constructor ​

ts
new WirestateError(message: string, code?: string): WirestateError;

Defined in: src/wirestate-core/error/wirestate-error.ts:55

Creates a Wirestate error.

Parameters ​

ParameterTypeDefault valueDescription
messagestringundefinedHuman-readable diagnostic message.
codestringERROR_CODE_GENERICString code for the failure type.

Returns ​

WirestateError

Overrides ​

ts
Error.constructor

Methods ​

captureStackTrace() ​

ts
static captureStackTrace(targetObject: object, constructorOpt?: Function): void;

Defined in: @types/node:

Creates a .stack property on targetObject, which when accessed returns a string representing the location in the code at which Error.captureStackTrace() was called.

js
const myObject = {};
Error.captureStackTrace(myObject);
myObject.stack;  // Similar to `new Error().stack`

The first line of the trace will be prefixed with ${myObject.name}: ${myObject.message}.

The optional constructorOpt argument accepts a function. If given, all frames above constructorOpt, including constructorOpt, will be omitted from the generated stack trace.

The constructorOpt argument is useful for hiding implementation details of error generation from the user. For instance:

js
function a() {
  b();
}

function b() {
  c();
}

function c() {
  // Create an error without stack trace to avoid calculating the stack trace twice.
  const { stackTraceLimit } = Error;
  Error.stackTraceLimit = 0;
  const error = new Error();
  Error.stackTraceLimit = stackTraceLimit;

  // Capture the stack trace above function b
  Error.captureStackTrace(error, b); // Neither function c, nor b is included in the stack trace
  throw error;
}

a();

code ​

ts
readonly code: string;

Defined in: src/wirestate-core/error/wirestate-error.ts:42

Stable string code identifying the failure type.

Remarks ​

Use this when application code needs a specific branch.


message ​

ts
readonly message: string;

Defined in: src/wirestate-core/error/wirestate-error.ts:47

Human-readable diagnostic message.

Overrides ​

ts
Error.message

name ​

ts
readonly name: string = "WirestateError";

Defined in: src/wirestate-core/error/wirestate-error.ts:34

Error class name used for diagnostics.

Overrides ​

ts
Error.name

stack? ​

ts
optional stack?: string;

Defined in: typescript:

Inherited from ​

ts
Error.stack

stackTraceLimit ​

ts
static stackTraceLimit: number;

Defined in: @types/node:

The Error.stackTraceLimit property specifies the number of stack frames collected by a stack trace (whether generated by new Error().stack or Error.captureStackTrace(obj)).

The default value is 10 but may be set to any valid JavaScript number. Changes will affect any stack trace captured after the value has been changed.

If set to a non-number value, or set to a negative number, stack traces will not capture any frames.
