Then read on.\n\n\n\n\nUsage\n-----\n\n*tiny-error* is a [maker function*](#maker-function). It creates a new object based on `Error.prototype`, but doesn’t invoke the `Error` constructor directly – thus saving us from creating a stack trace.\n\nIt’s a simple idea – so usage is simple:\n\n```js\nconst tinyError = require('tiny-error');\n\ntinyError('Oops!');\n//» { [Error: Oops!] message: 'Oops!' }\n\ntinyError({message: 'Oops!', myErrorCode: 7});\n//» { [Error: Oops!] message: 'Oops!', myErrorCode: 7 }\n\nthrow tinyError('Oops!');\n//» Error: Oops! (Output depends on how your engine presents errors.)\n```\n\n\nThere is still power behind this simplicity. Just enough to keep it easy to use but still flexible:\n\n```js\nthrow tinyError({\n prefix: '[my library] ',\n message: 'Curses! Try once more.',\n});\n//» Error: [my library] Curses! Try once more.\n\nconst myError = tinyError({prefix: '[my library] '});\nthrow myError('Curses! Try once more.');\n//» Error: [my library] Curses! Try once more.\n\nthrow myError('Oh no. Not again!');\n//» Error: [my library] Oh no. Not again!\n```\n\n\n> * *maker function* – a term I coined together for a function that creates an object. Not an instance of a class (that’s a *factory*). Not an instance of a specific class (*constructor*). Just an object. If there is another word for that, great! Tell me in [an issue](https://github.com/studio-b12/tiny-error/issues/new) please.\n\n\n\n\nAPI\n---\n\n\n\ntinyError(message)\n → {Error}\n
\n\nA shortcut to `tinyError({message: message})`.\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n* `{String} message`\n\n\n***\n\n\n\ntinyError(args)\n → {Function} tinyErrorCurried\n
\n\n\ntinyError(args)\n → {Error}\n
\n\nAn error maker.\n\nWe return an `{Error}` if `args` contains a `{String} args.message`. Otherwise we return a [curried][] function. So these are equivalent:\n\n```js\ntinyError({\n prefix: '[my library] ',\n myCode: 2,\n prototype: TypeError.prototype,\n message: '`something` should be a number.',\n});\n\n\nconst myError = tinyError({prefix: '[my library] '})\nmyError({\n myCode: 2,\n prototype: TypeError.prototype,\n message: '`something` should be a number.',\n});\n\n\nconst argumentError = myError({myCode: 2, prototype: TypeError.prototype});\nargumentError('`something` should be a number.');\n```\n\n\nAll `args` are just copied to the target object – except three special-cased:\n\n\n**Parameters:**\n\n* `{Function} args.prefix` \n we’ll prepend it to the `message`\n\n* `{Function} args.suffix` \n we’ll append it to the `message`\n\n* `{Function} args.prototype` \n will be used as prototype instead of `Error.prototype`\n\n\nKeep in mind that some properties like `message` and `name` will be treated specially by `Error.prototype`.\n\n[curried]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currying\n\n\n\n\nLicense\n-------\n\n[MIT][] © [Studio B12 GmbH][]\n\n[MIT]: ./License.md\n[Studio B12 GmbH]: http://studio-b12.de\n","maintainers":[{"name":"tomekwi","email":"t.wiszniewski@gmail.com"}],"time":{"modified":"2022-06-27T06:58:34.087Z","created":"2015-06-04T15:30:29.756Z","0.0.0-work-in-progress":"2015-06-04T15:30:29.756Z","0.1.0":"2015-06-08T08:07:33.148Z","0.2.0":"2015-06-08T13:44:04.978Z","0.2.1":"2015-06-08T13:47:20.210Z","0.2.2":"2015-08-04T21:48:51.004Z","0.2.3":"2015-11-21T08:41:35.633Z","1.0.0":"2015-11-21T08:43:07.620Z","1.0.1":"2015-11-21T08:45:27.899Z","1.0.2":"2015-11-21T08:59:40.812Z"},"homepage":"https://github.com/studio-b12/tiny-error#readme","keywords":["error","errors","exception","handling","performance","light","lightweight"],"repository":{"type":"git","url":"git+ssh://git@github.com/studio-b12/tiny-error.git"},"contributors":[{"name":"Tomek Wiszniewski","email":"t.wiszniewski@gmail.com"}],"bugs":{"url":"https://github.com/studio-b12/tiny-error/issues"},"license":"MIT","readmeFilename":"Readme.md"}
