ErrMsgs

A module for generating decent error messages

Installation

yarn add errmsgs

Usage

To initialize the module, use

const errMsgGen = new (require("errmsgs"))();

Getting an error message

Synchronously

errMsgGen.error([Error | String]).then((err) => {
  // do whatever you need with err here
});

Asynchronously

const err = await errMsgGen.error([Error | String]);

Basic Example

// Load the module
const errMsgGen = new (require("errmsgs"))();
 
// Make the code async
(async () => {
  // Generate the Error Message
  const err = await errMsgGen.error(new Error("Test"));
 
  // Output the error
  console.error(err);
 
  // Exit
  process.exit(1);
})();

Sample Output

// This program is error free! Which is why this is a bug report created by an error from this program!
 
Sorry, but the application has crashed!

oh by the way, that text after the // at the top, is randomly selected from a list of possible messages

Notes

I would've made it synchronous if i could, but i sadly couldn't.
