@aklinker1/zero-serialize-error

Serialize and deserialize errors with zero dependencies.

bun add @aklinker1/zero-serialize-error

Features

• 🔄 Convert errors to and from JS objects
• 🌳 Serializes entire cause tree
• ✨ Supports custom properties added to errors
• 🔧 Accepts custom serialization functions for converting other data types to and from objects
• 📦 Tiny package with zero dependencies

Usage

const error = Error("🐛");

const serialized = serializeError(error);
console.log(serialized); // { name: "Error", message: "🐛", stack: "..." }

const deserialized = deserializeError(serialized);
console.log(deserialized); // Error: 🐛

Other Data Types

No other classes other than Errors are supported by default when serializing/deserializing:

const error = new Error("With a date");
error.time = new Date();

const serialized = serializeError(error);
console.log(serialized); // { ..., time: "[object Date]" }

const deserialized = deserializeError(serialized);
console.log(deserialized.time); // "[object Date]"

Inspired by serialize-error. Goal was to trim it down, drop any dependencies, and make it as small as possible.
