[`modern-errors`](https://github.com/ehmicky/modern-errors)
[plugin](https://github.com/ehmicky/modern-errors#-plugins) for
[Winston](https://github.com/winstonjs/winston).

This adds [`BaseError.fullFormat()`](#baseerrorfullformat) and
[`BaseError.shortFormat()`](#baseerrorshortformat) which return a
[Winston format](https://github.com/winstonjs/winston/blob/master/README.md#formats).

# Hire me

Please
[reach out](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7117265228068716545/)

Most recently I have been [Netlify Build](https://github.com/netlify/build)'s

technical lead for 2.5 years. I am available for full-time remote positions.

# Features

Improved error logging with Winston:

- Error [class/instance-specific](#configuration) log [level](#level) or
[verbosity](#stack)
- The [full format](#baseerrorfullformat) includes all properties
- The [short format](#baseerrorshortformat) includes only the error's `name`,
`message` and `stack`
- Works with
[uncaught exceptions](https://github.com/winstonjs/winston#exceptions)

Unlike Winston's default
[error format](https://github.com/winstonjs/logform#errors):

- The error `name` is logged
- The full format logs nested errors, including
[`cause`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Error/cause)
and aggregate
[`errors`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/AggregateError)
- The full format is [JSON-safe](https://github.com/ehmicky/safe-json-value)
- The short format optionally logs the stack trace
- The error instance is not modified

# Example

[Adding the plugin](https://github.com/ehmicky/modern-errors#adding-plugins) to
[`modern-errors`](https://github.com/ehmicky/modern-errors).

```js
import ModernError from 'modern-errors'

import modernErrorsWinston from 'modern-errors-winston'

export const BaseError = ModernError.subclass('BaseError', {
plugins: [modernErrorsWinston],
})
export const InputError = BaseError.subclass('InputError')
// ...
```

Using the [full format](#baseerrorfullformat) with Winston.

```js
import { createLogger, transports, format } from 'winston'

const logger = createLogger({
format: format.combine(BaseError.fullFormat(), format.json()),
transports: [new transports.Http(httpOptions)],
})

const error = new InputError('Could not read file.', { props: { filePath } })
logger.error(error)
// Sent via HTTP:
// {
// level: 'error',
// name: 'InputError',
// message: 'Could not read file.',
// stack: `InputError: Could not read file.
// at ...`,
// filePath: '/...',
// }
```

Using the [short format](#baseerrorshortformat) with Winston.

```js
import { createLogger, transports, format } from 'winston'

const logger = createLogger({
format: format.combine(BaseError.shortFormat(), format.cli()),
transports: [new transports.Console()],
})

const error = new InputError('Could not read file.', { props: { filePath } })
logger.error(error)
// Printed on the console:
// error: InputError: Could not read file.
// at ...
```

# Install

```bash
npm install modern-errors-winston
```

This package requires installing [Winston](https://github.com/winstonjs/winston)
separately.

```bash
npm install winston
```

This package works in Node.js >=18.18.0.

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

## modernErrorsWinston

_Type_: `Plugin`

Plugin object to pass to the
[`plugins` option](https://github.com/ehmicky/modern-errors#adding-plugins) of
`ErrorClass.subclass()`.

## BaseError.fullFormat()

_Return value_: `Format`

Returns a logger
[`format`](https://github.com/winstonjs/winston/blob/master/README.md#formats)
to [combine](https://github.com/winstonjs/winston#combining-formats) with
[`format.json()`](https://github.com/winstonjs/logform#json) or
[`format.prettyPrint()`](https://github.com/winstonjs/logform#prettyprint). This
logs all error properties, making it useful with
[transports](https://github.com/winstonjs/winston#transports) like
[HTTP](https://github.com/winstonjs/winston/blob/master/docs/transports.md#http-transport).

Errors should be logged using
[`logger.*(error)`](https://github.com/winstonjs/winston/blob/master/README.md#creating-your-own-logger).

## BaseError.shortFormat()

_Return value_: `Format`

Returns a logger
[`format`](https://github.com/winstonjs/winston/blob/master/README.md#formats)
to [combine](https://github.com/winstonjs/winston#combining-formats) with
[`format.simple()`](https://github.com/winstonjs/logform#simple) or
[`format.cli()`](https://github.com/winstonjs/logform#cli). This logs only the
error `name`, `message` and `stack`, making it useful with
[transports](https://github.com/winstonjs/winston#transports) like the
[console](https://github.com/winstonjs/winston/blob/master/docs/transports.md#console-transport).

Errors should be logged using
[`logger.*(error)`](https://github.com/winstonjs/winston/blob/master/README.md#creating-your-own-logger).

## Options

_Type_: `object`

### stack

_Type_: `boolean`\
_Default_: `true`

Whether to log the stack trace.

### level

_Type_: `string`

Override the log [level](https://github.com/winstonjs/winston#logging-levels).

## Configuration

[Options](#options) can apply to (in priority order):

- Any error: second argument to
[`ModernError.subclass()`](https://github.com/ehmicky/modern-errors#options-1)

```js
export const BaseError = ModernError.subclass('BaseError', {
plugins: [modernErrorsWinston],
winston: options,
})
```

- Any error of a specific class (and its subclasses): second argument to
[`ErrorClass.subclass()`](https://github.com/ehmicky/modern-errors#options-1)

```js
export const InputError = BaseError.subclass('InputError', { winston: options })
```

- A specific error: second argument to
[`new ErrorClass()`](https://github.com/ehmicky/modern-errors#options-3)

```js
throw new InputError('...', { winston: options })
```

- A specific [`BaseError.fullFormat()`](#baseerrorfullformat) or
[`BaseError.shortFormat()`](#baseerrorshortformat) call

```js
BaseError.fullFormat(options)
```
