stacktrace.js
Generate, parse and enhance JavaScript stack traces in all browsers
Debug and profile your JavaScript with a stack trace of function calls leading to an error (or any condition you specify).
stacktrace.js uses browsers' Error.stack mechanism to generate stack traces, parses them, enhances them with
source maps and uses
Promises
to return an Array of StackFrames.

Usage
Get a stack trace from current location
var callback = function(stackframes) {
var stringifiedStack = stackframes.map(function(sf) {
return sf.toString();
}).join('\n');
console.log(stringifiedStack);
};
var errback = function(err) { console.log(err.message); };
StackTrace.get().then(callback).catch(errback);
//===> Promise(Array[StackFrame], Error)
//===> callback([
// StackFrame({functionName: 'func1', args: [], fileName: 'file.js', lineNumber: 203, columnNumber: 9}),
// StackFrame({functionName: 'func2', args: [], fileName: 'http://localhost:3000/file.min.js', lineNumber: 1, columnNumber: 3284})
//])You can also get a stack trace synchronously
HEADS UP: This method does not resolve source maps or guess anonymous function names.

//]window.onerror integration
Automatically handle errors
window.onerror = function(msg, file, line, col, error) {
// callback is called with an Array[StackFrame]
StackTrace.fromError(error).then(callback).catch(errback);
};Get stack trace from an Error
var error = new Error('BOOM!');
StackTrace.fromError(error).then(callback).catch(errback);
//===> Promise(Array[StackFrame], Error)Generate a stacktrace from walking arguments.callee
This might capture arguments information, but isn't supported in ES5 strict-mode
StackTrace.generateArtificially().then(callback).catch(errback);
//===> Promise(Array[StackFrame], Error)Trace every time a given function is invoked
// callback is called with an Array[StackFrame] every time wrapped function is called
var myFunc = function(arg) { return 'Hello ' + arg; };
var myWrappedFunc = StackTrace.instrument(myFunc, callback, errback);
//===> Instrumented Function
myWrappedFunc('world');
//===> 'Hello world'
// Use this if you overwrote you original function
myFunc = StackTrace.deinstrument(myFunc);
//===> De-instrumented FunctionGet stacktrace.js

StackTrace.get(/*optional*/ options) => Promise(Array[StackFrame])
Generate a backtrace from invocation point, then parse and enhance it.
(Optional) options: Object
- filter: Function(StackFrame => Boolean) - Only include stack entries matching for which
filterreturnstrue - sourceCache: Object (String URL => String Source) - Pre-populate source cache to avoid network requests
- offline: Boolean (default: false) - Set to
trueto prevent all network requests
StackTrace.getSync(/*optional*/ options) => Array[StackFrame]
Generate a backtrace from invocation point, then parse it. This method does not use source maps or guess anonymous functions.
(Optional) options: Object
- filter: Function(StackFrame => Boolean) - Only include stack entries matching for which
filterreturnstrue
StackTrace.fromError(error, /*optional*/ options) => Promise(Array[StackFrame])
Given an Error object, use error-stack-parser to parse it and enhance location information with stacktrace-gps.
error: Error
(Optional) options: Object
- filter: Function(StackFrame => Boolean) - Only include stack entries matching for which
filterreturnstrue - sourceCache: Object (String URL => String Source) - Pre-populate source cache to avoid network requests
- offline: Boolean (default: false) - Set to
trueto prevent all network requests
StackTrace.generateArtificially(/*optional*/ options) => Promise(Array[StackFrame])
Use stack-generator to generate a backtrace by walking the arguments.callee.caller chain.
(Optional) options: Object
- filter: Function(StackFrame => Boolean) - Only include stack entries matching for which
filterreturnstrue - sourceCache: Object (String URL => String Source) - Pre-populate source cache to avoid network requests
- offline: Boolean (default: false) - Set to
trueto prevent all network requests
StackTrace.instrument(fn, callback, /*optional*/ errback) => Function
Given a function, wrap it such that invocations trigger a callback that is called with a stack trace.
fn: Function - to wrap, call callback on invocation and call-through
- callback: Function - to call with stack trace (generated by
StackTrace.get()) when fn is called - (Optional) errback: Function - to call with Error object if there was a problem getting a stack trace.
Fails silently (though
fnis still called) if a stack trace couldn't be generated.
StackTrace.deinstrument(fn) => Function
Given a function that has been instrumented, revert the function to it's original (non-instrumented) state.
- fn: Function - Instrumented Function
StackTrace.report(stackframes, url, message, requestOptions) => Promise(String)
Given an an error message and Array of StackFrames, serialize and POST to given URL. Promise is resolved with response text from POST request.
Example JSON POST data:
{
message: 'BOOM',
stack: [
{functionName: 'fn', fileName: 'file.js', lineNumber: 32, columnNumber: 1},
{functionName: 'fn2', fileName: 'file.js', lineNumber: 543, columnNumber: 32},
{functionName: 'fn3', fileName: 'file.js', lineNumber: 8, columnNumber: 1}
]
}- stackframes: Array(StackFrame) - Previously wrapped Function
- url: String - URL to POST stack JSON to
- message: String - The error message
- requestOptions: Object - HTTP request options object. Only
headers: {key: val}is supported.
Browser Support
HEADS UP: You won't get the benefit of source maps in IE9- or other very old browsers.
Using node.js/io.js only?
I recommend the stack-trace node package specifically built for node. It has a very similar API and also supports source maps.
