pretty-error is a Node.js library that renders JavaScript error messages in a cleaner, more readable, and visually styled format to make debugging easier. PrettyError turns error objects into something similar to an html document, and then uses RenderKid to render the document using simple html/css-like commands. This allows PrettyError to be themed using simple css-like declarations. There are a few methods to help you customize the contents of your error logs. You can customize which trace lines get logged and which won't.

Features

  • Filters out internal Node.js paths for clarity
  • Supports custom themes and style overrides
