JE::Ob...::Error(3pm)

💖 JE::Ob...::Error(3pm) 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation — section 3pm, aka perl module manpages. Pull up a chair, we're talking about JavaScript error objects and honestly? iconic behavior. 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

JE::Object::Error — the JavaScript Error object class. yeah. that one. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use JE::Object::Error;

# Somewhere in code called by an eval{}
die new JE::Object::Error $global, "(Error message here)";

# Later:
$@->prop('message');  # error message
$@->prop('name');     # 'Error'
"$@";                 # 'Error: ' plus the error message

so like, you use it, you die with one of these bad boys from inside something an eval{} is running, and then later you can poke at $@ and it will just tell you things. the way that "$@" stringifies into the full Error: situation?? obsessed. 😭

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

This class implements JavaScript Error objects for JE. No cap. 💜

It's the base class for all of JavaScript's native error objects — like, the whole family tree starts here. (scroll down to SEE ALSO if you wanna meet the relatives 👑)

---

✨ METHODS ✨

head over to JE::Types for the lowdown on most of the methods, bestie — that's where the general stuff lives. only the stuff that's specific to JE::Object::Error gets explained right here. 🌸

The value method returns the string 'Error: ' followed by the error message. and for subclasses? the 'Error' part gets swapped out for the class name — which is literally just whatever ->class hands back. so like, it knows its own name. main character energy fr fr. 👑
