errno exposed

Ever find yourself needing more details about Node.js errors? Me too, so node-errno contains the errno mappings direct from libuv so you can use them in your code.

By errno:

require('errno').errno[3]
// → {
//     "errno": 3,
//     "code": "EACCES",
//     "description": "permission denied"
//   }

By code:

require('errno').code.ENOTEMPTY
// → {
//     "errno": 53,
//     "code": "ENOTEMPTY",
//     "description": "directory not empty"
//   }

Make your errors more descriptive:

var errno = require('errno')

function errmsg(err) {
  var str = 'Error: '
  // if it's a libuv error then get the description from errno
  if (errno.errno[err.errno])
    str += errno.errno[err.errno].description
  else
    str += err.message

  // if it's a `fs` error then it'll have a 'path' property
  if (err.path)
    str += ' [' + err.path + ']'

  return str
}

var fs = require('fs')

fs.readFile('thisisnotarealfile.txt', function (err, data) {
  if (err)
    console.log(errmsg(err))
})

Use as a command line tool:

~ $ errno 53
{
  "errno": 53,
  "code": "ENOTEMPTY",
  "description": "directory not empty"
}
~ $ errno EROFS
{
  "errno": 56,
  "code": "EROFS",
  "description": "read-only file system"
}
~ $ errno foo
No such errno/code: "foo"

Supply no arguments for the full list. Error codes are processed case-insensitive.

You will need to install with npm install errno -g if you want the errno command to be available without supplying a full path to the node_modules installation.

Custom errors

Use errno.custom.createError() to create custom Error objects to throw around in your Node.js library. Create error hierarchies so instanceof becomes a useful tool in tracking errors. Call-stack is correctly captured at the time you create an instance of the error object, plus a cause property will make available the original error object if you pass one in to the constructor.

var create = require('errno').custom.createError
var MyError = create('MyError') // inherits from Error
var SpecificError = create('SpecificError', MyError) // inherits from MyError
var OtherError = create('OtherError', MyError)

// use them!
if (condition) throw new SpecificError('Eeek! Something bad happened')

if (err) return callback(new OtherError(err))

Also available is a errno.custom.FilesystemError with in-built access to errno properties:

fs.readFile('foo', function (err, data) {
  if (err) return callback(new errno.custom.FilesystemError(err))
  // do something else
})

The resulting error object passed through the callback will have the following properties: code, errno, path and message will contain a descriptive human-readable message.
