A tiny module for ensuring uncaught exceptions are handled in Node.js.
Simply require and invoke.
// failed.js var endgame = require('endgame'); endgame(); throw new Error('y u no work?'); // Thu, 09 Jan 2014 20:03:18 GMT uncaughtException y u no work? // Error: y u no work? // at Object._onImmediate (/Users/me/src/git/myapp/failed.js:7:0) // at processImmediate [as _immediateCallback] (timers.js:330:15)If an uncaughtException handler has already been registered, endgame becomes a noop. If an uncaughtException handler is registered after endgame has been invoked, endgame's default handler is automatically removed in favor of the newly registered handler.
endgame also returns a function that can be invoked to undo endgame's behavior.
// undo.js var endgame = require('endgame'), undo = endgame(); // do stuff and decide to revert `endgame` changes undo();// custom.js var endgame, undo; endgame = require('endgame'); undo = endgame(function (err) { console.error(err.message); process.exit(1); }); // ... // implicit endgame undo process.on('uncaughtException', function (err) { console.error(JSON.stringify(err))); process.exit(1); }); // or `undo();`
