# make-error [![Build Status](https://img.shields.io/travis/JsCommunity/make-error/master.svg)](http://travis-ci.org/JsCommunity/make-error)
> Make your own error types!
## Features
- Compatible Node & browsers
- `instanceof` support
- `error.name` & `error.stack` support
- compatible with [CSP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_Security_Policy) (i.e. no `eval()`)
## Installation
### Node & [Browserify](http://browserify.org/)/[Webpack](https://webpack.js.org/)
Installation of the [npm package](https://npmjs.org/package/make-error):
```
> npm install --save make-error
```
Then require the package:
```javascript
var makeError = require('make-error');
```
### Browser
You can directly use the build provided at [unpkg.com](https://unpkg.com):
```html
<script src="https://unpkg.com/make-error@1/dist/make-error.js"></script>
```
## Usage
### Basic named error
```javascript
var CustomError = makeError('CustomError')
// Parameters are forwarded to the super class (here Error).
throw new CustomError('a message')
```
### Advanced error class
```javascript
function CustomError (customValue) {
CustomError.super.call(this, 'custom error message')
this.customValue = customValue
}
makeError(CustomError)
// Feel free to extend the prototype.
CustomError.prototype.myMethod = function CustomError$myMethod () {
console.log('CustomError.myMethod (%s, %s)', this.code, this.message)
}
//-----
try {
throw new CustomError(42)
} catch (error) {
error.myMethod()
}
```
### Specialized error
```javascript
var SpecializedError = makeError('SpecializedError', CustomError);
throw new SpecializedError(42);
```
### Inheritance
> Best for ES2015+.
```javascript
import {BaseError} from 'make-error'
class CustomError extends BaseError {
constructor () {
super('custom error message')
}
}
```
