# stack-trace
|
||
|
|
||
|
Get v8 stack traces as an array of CallSite objects.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Install
|
||
|
|
||
|
``` bash
|
||
|
npm install stack-trace
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
||
|
The stack-trace module makes it easy for you to capture the current stack:
|
||
|
|
||
|
``` javascript
|
||
|
var stackTrace = require('stack-trace');
|
||
|
var trace = stackTrace.get();
|
||
|
|
||
|
require('assert').strictEqual(trace[0].getFileName(), __filename);
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
However, sometimes you have already popped the stack you are interested in,
|
||
|
and all you have left is an `Error` object. This module can help:
|
||
|
|
||
|
``` javascript
|
||
|
var stackTrace = require('stack-trace');
|
||
|
var err = new Error('something went wrong');
|
||
|
var trace = stackTrace.parse(err);
|
||
|
|
||
|
require('assert').strictEqual(trace[0].getFileName(), __filename);
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Please note that parsing the `Error#stack` property is not perfect, only
|
||
|
certain properties can be retrieved with it as noted in the API docs below.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Long stack traces
|
||
|
|
||
|
stack-trace works great with [long-stack-traces][], when parsing an `err.stack`
|
||
|
that has crossed the event loop boundary, a `CallSite` object returning
|
||
|
`'----------------------------------------'` for `getFileName()` is created.
|
||
|
All other methods of the event loop boundary call site return `null`.

## API
|
||
|
|
||
|
### stackTrace.get([belowFn])
|
||
|
|
||
|
Returns an array of `CallSite` objects, where element `0` is the current call
|
||
|
site.
|
||
|
|
||
|
When passing a function on the current stack as the `belowFn` parameter, the
|
||
|
returned array will only include `CallSite` objects below this function.
|
||
|
|
||
|
### stackTrace.parse(err)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Parses the `err.stack` property of an `Error` object into an array compatible
|
||
|
with those returned by `stackTrace.get()`. However, only the following methods
|
||
|
are implemented on the returned `CallSite` objects.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* getTypeName
|
||
|
* getFunctionName
|
||
|
* getMethodName
|
||
|
* getFileName
|
||
|
* getLineNumber
|
||
|
* getColumnNumber
|
||
|
* isNative
|
||
|
|
||
|
Note: Except `getFunctionName()`, all of the above methods return exactly the
|
||
|
same values as you would get from `stackTrace.get()`. `getFunctionName()`
|
||
|
is sometimes a little different, but still useful.
|
||
|
|
||
|
### CallSite
|
||
|
|
||
|
The official v8 CallSite object API can be found [here][v8stackapi]. A quick
|
||
|
excerpt:
|
||
|
|
||
|
> A CallSite object defines the following methods:
|
||
|
>
|
||
|
> * **getThis**: returns the value of this
|
||
|
> * **getTypeName**: returns the type of this as a string. This is the name of the function stored in the constructor field of this, if available, otherwise the object's [[Class]] internal property.
|
||
|
> * **getFunction**: returns the current function
|
||
|
> * **getFunctionName**: returns the name of the current function, typically its name property. If a name property is not available an attempt will be made to try to infer a name from the function's context.
|
||
|
> * **getMethodName**: returns the name of the property of this or one of its prototypes that holds the current function
|
||
|
> * **getFileName**: if this function was defined in a script returns the name of the script
|
||
|
> * **getLineNumber**: if this function was defined in a script returns the current line number
|
||
|
> * **getColumnNumber**: if this function was defined in a script returns the current column number
|
||
|
> * **getEvalOrigin**: if this function was created using a call to eval returns a CallSite object representing the location where eval was called
|
||
|
> * **isToplevel**: is this a toplevel invocation, that is, is this the global object?
|
||
|
> * **isEval**: does this call take place in code defined by a call to eval?
|
||
|
> * **isNative**: is this call in native V8 code?
|
||
|
> * **isConstructor**: is this a constructor call?
