Error Handler

All unhandled errors in TSCord fallbacks to a default error handler, which can be configured to send those errors in the console, in a file or even in a discord channel!

Configuration​

src/config/logs.ts
//...
    
    error: {
        file: true,
        console: true,
        channel: null // null or the ID of the channel to send 
    }

//...

Discord​

If you've set a channel ID in the config, each error happening on your bot will be beautifully logged on Discord.

info

Errors will not be sent to discord in dev mode.

Custom errors​

You can create custom errors classes with a handle() method that will be executed each time it is thrown!

caution

The class must extend BaseError.

E.g:

import { BaseError } from "@utils/classes"
import { snake } from "case"

export class InvalidOptionName extends BaseError {

    constructor(nameOption: string) {
        super(`Name option must be all lowercase with no spaces. '${nameOption}' should be '${snake(nameOption)}'`)
    }

    handle() {

        this.logger.console('error', this.message)
        this.kill()
    }
}
tip

If you want your error to actually kill the process, you should call the BaseError method: kill().
