window.onerror
There needs to be a way to capture errors on the window.
A method that passes an Error to the handler. One possible solution
would be to leverage the existing event system:
addEventListener( "error", genericErrorEventHandler, false );
function genericErrorEventHandler( errorEvent ) {
// What is the argument here?
var error = errorEvent.error;
};
Grabbing the Error instance off the event seems somewhat unintuitive
}E uses that approach.
It also leads to switch statements or too much conditional logic.
I
function genericErrorEventHandler( errorEvent ) {
// What is the argument here?
var error = errorEvent.error;
if( error instanceof EvalError) {
};
Maybe someone has a better idea?.
would be useful to have a method on the global object to catch errors.
addEventListener( "evalerror", genericErrorEventHandler, false );
