DEPRECATED. Use error-stack-parser instead.

Overview

Cross-browser parsing of the stack property of error objects.

What it does: Parse the stack property into name, file path, line number and column number (if available). Cross-browser.

What it does not: Normalize names and file paths, or account for possible browser differences in line and column counting.

Cross-browser, eh? Exactly how cross-browser is it? See support.md.

Usage

var stack
// Generally you don't need to try/catch.
try {
    stack = parseStack(errorObject)
} catch (error) {
    console.log("The format of the `stack` property is invalid or unrecognized by `parseStack`.")
}

if (stack === null) {
    console.log("The `stack` property is not supported.")
} else {
    stack.forEach(function (stackLine) {
        console.log(
            stackLine.name,
            stackLine.filepath,
            stackLine.lineNumber,
            stackLine.columnNumber
        )
    })
}
