Serialize/deserialize an error into a plain object
Useful if you for example need to JSON.stringify() or process.send() the error.
$ npm install serialize-error
const {serializeError, deserializeError} = require('serialize-error');
const error = new Error('🦄');
console.log(error);
//=> [Error: 🦄]
const serialized = serializeError(error)
console.log(serialized);
//=> {name: 'Error', message: '🦄', stack: 'Error: 🦄\n at Object.<anonymous> …'}
const deserialized = deserializeError(serialized);
console.log(deserialized);
//=> [Error: 🦄]Type: Error | unknown
