Error handling

[ppwfx]

Hey,

seems to be a cool stack.
Is there any way to handle errors other than using error-cat?
Is bunyan also logging errors?

Have a nice day :)

Hi @21stio, yeah, you are correct.

Error-cat is required dependency for handling errors and bunyan is used for logging.
However the dependency on error-cat is pretty small. Ponos only requires you to throw an error of correct type:

ponos/examples/basic-worker.js

Line 5 in 6a50a36

const WorkerStopError = require('error-cat/errors/worker-stop-error')

and it also used to report error. You can easily pass some other reporting module that satisfies interface (

ponos/interfaces/modules/error-cat.js.flow

Line 2 in 27432c0

report(error: Error): void;

)

Bunyan is only default implementation for logging. Theoretically you can pass your own logger that can be different from bunyan logger, but it should have the same API (functions to log errors).

If you have ideas how to make error-cat and bunyan even more optional.
