Display a pretty code frame with the error location.
Note: Tabs can be used in the source code, codeFrame transforms them to spaces based on the tabWidth option. The default tabWidth is 4, to disable the transformation, set tabWidth to false.
import { codeFrame } from "@visulima/error";
const source = "const x = 10;\nconst error = x.y;\n";
const loc = { column: 16, line: 2 };
const frame = codeFrame(source, { start: loc });
console.log(frame);
// 1 | const x = 10;
// > 2 | const error = x.y;
// | ^

Note: please note that this project is released with a Contributor Code of Conduct. By participating in this project you agree to abide by its terms.
- baseerr: merge another error with additional properties.
- callsite-record: create a fancy log entries for errors and function call sites.
- callsites: get callsites from the V8 stack trace API.
- explain-error: wrap an error with additional explanation.
- error-wrapper: merges the stack of another error to its own.
- errwischt/stacktrace-parser
- trace: create super long stack traces.
- clarify: remove node related stack trace noise.
- piotr-szewczyk/stacktrace-parser-node
- pretty-error: make the call stacks clear.
- ono: allow different types of error to be thrown.
- ololog: another logger with a similar motivation but only support console.log as its sole transport.
