Properly update an error's stack.

In V8 (Chrome, Node.js, Deno, etc.),error.stackincludeserror.message.However, iferror.stack is modified,error.message is not updatedaccordingly. This library fixes it.

In other JavaScript engines, this library just setserror.stack.

Withoutset-error-stack:

consterror=newError('one')console.log(error.stack)// 'Error: one ...'console.log(error.message)// 'one'error.stack=error.stack.replace('one','two')console.log(error.stack)// 'Error: two ...'console.log(error.message)// 'one'

Withset-error-stack:

importsetErrorStackfrom'set-error-stack'consterror=newError('one')console.log(error.stack)// 'Error: one ...'console.log(error.message)// 'one'setErrorStack(error,error.stack.replace('one','two'))console.log(error.stack)// 'Error: two ...'console.log(error.message)// 'two'

npm install set-error-stack

This package works in both Node.js >=18.18.0 andbrowsers.

This is an ES module. It must be loaded usinganimport orimport() statement,notrequire(). If TypeScript is used, it must be configured tooutput ES modules,not CommonJS.

errorError | any
stackstring
Return value:Error

Setserror.stack = stack. If needed, also modifieserror.messageaccordingly.

Returnserror. Iferror is not anError instance, it is converted to one.
