tamil-errors 🎬

Tamil meme dialogues for your worst dev errors.
Because crying in English is too mainstream.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  🎬  "Dei... avan sethutanda..."

  💡  Fatal crash or TypeError — enna nadanthuchu nu theriyala

  ❌  TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'name')
       at Object.<anonymous> (app.js:12:15)

Install

npm install tamil-errors

Usage

Mode 1 — Auto-patch (just require it once)

Add this as the first line of your app. Every uncaught error and unhandled rejection gets the Tamil treatment automatically.

require('tamil-errors');

// your app below
const express = require('express');
// ...

That's it. No other changes needed.

Mode 2 — Wrap a function

const { wrap } = require('tamil-errors');

const riskyFunction = wrap(function () {
  return undeclaredVar + 1; // ReferenceError incoming
});

riskyFunction();
// 🎬 "Neengalam yaaru da.. how do I tell you.."

Works with async functions too:

const fetchData = wrap(async function () {
  const res = await fetch('https://this-does-not-exist.dev');
  return res.json();
});

fetchData();
// 🎬 "Innumada engala nambitu irruka?"

Mode 3 — Manual (your own try/catch)

const { tamilError } = require('tamil-errors');

try {
  const f = () => f();
  f();
} catch (err) {
  tamilError(err);
  // 🎬 "Vantha, suttan, setha, repeat uh..."
}

The Dialogues

| Error | Tamil Dialogue | |-------|---------------| | ReferenceError | Neengalam yaaru da.. how do I tell you.. | | UnhandledPromiseRejection | Innumada engala nambitu irruka? | | RangeError: call stack | Vantha, suttan, setha, repeat uh... | | Merge Conflict | Namala emmathiputainga chithapa... amanda maganae | | TypeError / Fatal Crash | Dei... avan sethutanda... | | MODULE_NOT_FOUND / 404 | Ohh ivuraa.. enga innum kanomey nu pathen... |

Why?

Because Cannot read properties of undefined at 2am deserves more than a stack trace.
Tamil devs unite. 🤝
