13## errno exposed
14
15Ever 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.
16
17**By errno:**
18
19```js
20require('errno').errno[3]
21// → {
22// "errno": 3,
23// "code": "EACCES",
24// "description": "permission denied"
25// }
26```
27
28**By code:**
29
30```js
31require('errno').code.ENOTEMPTY
32// → {
33// "errno": 53,
34// "code": "ENOTEMPTY",
35// "description": "directory not empty"
36// }
37```
38
39**Make your errors more descriptive:**
40
41```js
42var errno = require('errno')
43
44function errmsg(err) {
45 var str = 'Error: '
46 // if it's a libuv error then get the description from errno
47 if (errno.errno[err.errno])
48 str += errno.errno[err.errno].description
49 else
50 str += err.message
51
52 // if it's a `fs` error then it'll have a 'path' property
53 if (err.path)
54 str += ' [' + err.path + ']'
55
56 return str
57}
58
59var fs = require('fs')
60
61fs.readFile('thisisnotarealfile.txt', function (err, data) {
62 if (err)
63 console.log(errmsg(err))
64})
65```
66
67**Use as a command line tool:**
68
69```
70~ $ errno 53
71{
72 "errno": 53,
73 "code": "ENOTEMPTY",
74 "description": "directory not empty"
75}
76~ $ errno EROFS
77{
78 "errno": 56,
79 "code": "EROFS",
80 "description": "read-only file system"
81}
82~ $ errno foo
83No such errno/code: "foo"
84```
85
86Supply no arguments for the full list. Error codes are processed case-insensitive.
87
88You 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.

91## Custom errors
92
93Use `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.
94
95```js
96var create = require('errno').custom.createError
97var MyError = create('MyError') // inherits from Error
98var SpecificError = create('SpecificError', MyError) // inherits from MyError
99var OtherError = create('OtherError', MyError)
100
101// use them!
102if (condition) throw new SpecificError('Eeek! Something bad happened')
103
104if (err) return callback(new OtherError(err))
105```
106
107Also available is a `errno.custom.FilesystemError` with in-built access to errno properties:
108
109```js
110fs.readFile('foo', function (err, data) {
111 if (err) return callback(new errno.custom.FilesystemError(err))
112 // do something else
113})
114```
115
116The resulting error object passed through the callback will have the following properties: `code`, `errno`, `path` and `message` will contain a descriptive human-readable message.
