stack?

ts
optional stack: string;

Defined in: node_modules/.bun/typescript@5.9.3/node_modules/typescript/lib/lib.es5.d.ts:1078

Inherited from

HttpError.stack


status

ts
status: number;

Defined in: packages/server/lib/error.d.ts:41

HttpError.status


stackTraceLimit

ts
static stackTraceLimit: number;

Defined in: node_modules/.bun/@types+node@25.0.5/node_modules/@types/node/globals.d.ts:67

The Error.stackTraceLimit property specifies the number of stack frames collected by a stack trace (whether generated by new Error().stack or Error.captureStackTrace(obj)).

The default value is 10 but may be set to any valid JavaScript number. Changes will affect any stack trace captured after the value has been changed.

If set to a non-number value, or set to a negative number, stack traces will not capture any frames.

Inherited from

HttpError.stackTraceLimit

Methods

render()

ts
render(ctx): Promise<Response>;

Defined in: packages/server/lib/error.d.ts:48

Parameters

ctx

Context

Returns

Promise<Response>

Inherited from

HttpError.render


toJSON()

ts
toJSON(): unknown;

Defined in: packages/server/lib/error.d.ts:47

Returns

unknown

Inherited from

HttpError.toJSON


captureStackTrace()

ts
static captureStackTrace(targetObject, constructorOpt?): void;

Defined in: node_modules/.bun/@types+node@25.0.5/node_modules/@types/node/globals.d.ts:51

Creates a .stack property on targetObject, which when accessed returns a string representing the location in the code at which Error.captureStackTrace() was called.

js
const myObject = {};
Error.captureStackTrace(myObject);
myObject.stack;  // Similar to `new Error().stack`

The first line of the trace will be prefixed with ${myObject.name}: ${myObject.message}.

The optional constructorOpt argument accepts a function. If given, all frames above constructorOpt, including constructorOpt, will be omitted from the generated stack trace.

The constructorOpt argument is useful for hiding implementation details of error generation from the user. For instance:

js
function a() {
  b();
}

function b() {
  c();
}

function c() {
  // Create an error without stack trace to avoid calculating the stack trace twice.
  const { stackTraceLimit } = Error;
  Error.stackTraceLimit = 0;
  const error = new Error();
  Error.stackTraceLimit = stackTraceLimit;

  // Capture the stack trace above function b
  Error.captureStackTrace(error, b); // Neither function c, nor b is included in the stack trace
  throw error;
}

a();

Parameters

targetObject

object

constructorOpt?

Function

Returns

void
