    at Module._compile (module.js:409:26)

API

cleanStack(stack, options?)

Returns the cleaned stack or undefined if the given stack is undefined.

stack

Type: string | undefined

The stack property of an Error.

options

Type: object

pretty

Type: boolean
Default: false

Prettify the file paths in the stack:

/Users/sindresorhus/dev/clean-stack/unicorn.js:2:15 → ~/dev/clean-stack/unicorn.js:2:15

basePath

Type: string?

Remove the given base path from stack trace file paths, effectively turning absolute paths into relative ones. It will also transform absolute file URLs into relative paths.

Example with '/Users/sindresorhus/dev/clean-stack' as basePath:

/Users/sindresorhus/dev/clean-stack/unicorn.js:2:15 → unicorn.js:2:15

pathFilter

Type: (path: string) => boolean

Remove the stack lines where the given function returns false. The function receives the path part of the stack line.

import cleanStack from 'clean-stack';

const error = new Error('Missing unicorn');

console.log(cleanStack(error.stack));
// Error: Missing unicorn
//     at Object.<anonymous> (/Users/sindresorhus/dev/clean-stack/unicorn.js:2:15)
//     at Object.<anonymous> (/Users/sindresorhus/dev/clean-stack/omit-me.js:1:16)

const pathFilter = path => !/omit-me/.test(path);

console.log(cleanStack(error.stack, {pathFilter}));
// Error: Missing unicorn
//     at Object.<anonymous> (/Users/sindresorhus/dev/clean-stack/unicorn.js:2:15)
