id="errors_errors">#</a></span></h1> <!--introduced_in=v4.0.0--> <!--type=misc--> <p>Applications running in Node.js will generally experience four categories of errors:</p> <ul> <li>Standard JavaScript errors such as:<ul> <li> <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/EvalError" class="type"><EvalError></a> : thrown when a call to <code>eval()</code> fails.</li> <li> <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/SyntaxError" class="type"><SyntaxError></a> : thrown in response to improper JavaScript language syntax.</li> <li> <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/RangeError" class="type"><RangeError></a> : thrown when a value is not within an expected range</li> <li> <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/ReferenceError" class="type"><ReferenceError></a> : thrown when using undefined variables</li> <li> <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/TypeError" class="type"><TypeError></a> : thrown when passing arguments of the wrong type</li> <li> <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/URIError" class="type"><URIError></a> : thrown when a global URI handling function is misused.</li> </ul> </li> <li>System errors triggered by underlying operating system constraints such as attempting to open a file that does not exist, attempting to send data over a closed socket, etc;</li> <li>And User-specified errors triggered by application code.</li> <li>Assertion Errors are a special class of error that can be triggered whenever Node.js detects an exceptional logic violation that should never occur. These are raised typically by the <code>assert</code> module.</li> </ul> <p>All JavaScript and System errors raised by Node.js inherit from, or are instances of, the standard JavaScript <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Error" class="type"><Error></a> class and are guaranteed to provide <em>at least</em> the properties available on that class.</p> <h2>Error Propagation and Interception<span><a class="mark" href="#errors_error_propagation_and_interception" id="errors_error_propagation_and_interception">#</a></span></h2> <!--type=misc--> <p>Node.js supports several mechanisms for propagating and handling errors that occur while an application is running. How these errors are reported and handled depends entirely on the type of Error and the style of the API that is called.</p> <p>All JavaScript errors are handled as exceptions that <em>immediately</em> generate and throw an error using the standard JavaScript <code>throw</code> mechanism. These are handled using the <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/try...catch"><code>try / catch</code> construct</a> provided by the JavaScript language.</p> <pre><code class="lang-js">// Throws with a ReferenceError because z is undefined try { const m = 1; const n = m + z; } catch (err) { // Handle the error here. } </code></pre> <p>Any use of the JavaScript <code>throw</code> mechanism will raise an exception that <em>must</em> be handled using <code>try / catch</code> or the Node.js process will exit immediately.</p> <p>With few exceptions, <em>Synchronous</em> APIs (any blocking method that does not accept a <code>callback</code> function, such as <a href="fs.html#fs_fs_readfilesync_path_options"><code>fs.readFileSync</code></a>), will use <code>throw</code> to report errors.</p> <p>Errors that occur within <em>Asynchronous APIs</em> may be reported in multiple ways:</p> <ul> <li>Most asynchronous methods that accept a <code>callback</code> function will accept an <code>Error</code> object passed as the first argument to that function. If that first argument is not <code>null</code> and is an instance of <code>Error</code>, then an error occurred that should be handled.</li> </ul> <!-- eslint-disable no-useless-return --> <pre><code class="lang-js"> const fs = require('fs'); fs.readFile('a file that does not exist', (err, data) => { if (err) { console.error('There was an error reading the file!', err); return; } // Otherwise handle the data }); </code></pre> <ul> <li><p>When an asynchronous method is called on an object that is an <code>EventEmitter</code>, errors can be routed to that object's <code>'error'</code> event.</p> <pre><code class="lang-js">const net = require('net'); const connection = net.connect('localhost'); // Adding an 'error' event handler to a stream: connection.on('error', (err) => { // If the connection is reset by the server, or if it can't // connect at all, or on any sort of error encountered by // the connection, the error will be sent here. console.error(err); }); connection.pipe(process.stdout); </code></pre> </li> <li><p>A handful of typically asynchronous methods in the Node.js API may still use the <code>throw</code> mechanism to raise exceptions that must be handled using <code>try / catch</code>.

With this pattern, a callback function is passed to the method as an argument.

By the time the callback has been called, the surrounding code (including the <code>try { } catch (err) { }</code> block will have already exited. Throwing an error inside the callback <strong>can crash the Node.js process</strong> in most cases.
