Create custom error classes.

# Hire me

Please
[reach out](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7117265228068716545/)
if you're looking for a Node.js API or CLI engineer (11 years of experience).
Most recently I have been [Netlify Build](https://github.com/netlify/build)'s
and [Netlify Plugins](https://www.netlify.com/products/build/plugins/)'
technical lead for 2.5 years. I am available for full-time remote positions.

# Features

- [Very simple API](#api)
- Ponyfill
[`error.cause`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Error/cause)
on
[older Node.js and browsers](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Error/cause#browser_compatibility)
- Properly
[set `error.name`](https://github.com/ehmicky/error-class-utils#seterrornameerrorclass-name)
- Fix
[issues](https://github.com/ehmicky/error-class-utils#ensurecorrectclasserror-newtarget)
when `Error` has been polyfilled

# Example

```js
import errorCustomClass from 'error-custom-class'

const UserError = errorCustomClass('UserError')
const DatabaseError = errorCustomClass('DatabaseError')

try {
throw new UserError('message')
} catch (error) {
console.log(error.name) // 'UserError'
console.log(error instanceof UserError) // true
}
```

# Install

```bash
npm install error-custom-class
```

This package works in both Node.js >=18.18.0 and
[browsers](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ehmicky/dev-tasks/main/src/browserslist).

This is an ES module. It must be loaded using
[an `import` or `import()` statement](https://gist.github.com/sindresorhus/a39789f98801d908bbc7ff3ecc99d99c),
not `require()`. If TypeScript is used, it must be configured to
[output ES modules](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/esm-node.html),
not CommonJS.

# API

The API is designed for simplicity. For more customization,
[`error-class-utils`](https://github.com/ehmicky/error-class-utils) should be
used instead.

## errorCustomClass(errorName)

`errorName` `string`\
_Return value_: `CustomError`

Creates a custom error class.
