node-error-ex makes it easy to define custom Error types in JavaScript, with support for setting a custom error name, and customizing or extending the error stack and message. It provides helpers to create formatted stack lines and to append formatted text to the error message, useful for consistent, informative error reporting.
Project status
- Maintenance status: The source shows continued stewardship, with updates as recently as 2025-09-15 (about 9 months ago from 2026-06-09), but the update history is sparse, with a long gap between 2018-06-19 and 2025-09-15.
- Apparent update cadence: Based on available evidence, updates are intermittent rather than frequent (not enough data to claim a regular cadence, but releases occur years apart, with two updates in 2025).

Security1.3.2
Release 1.3.2 makes internal changes to how the library builds and customizes Error subclasses, focusing on stack/message behavior across Node versions and compatibility with libraries like Bluebird. The release notes are empty, so the code changes below represent undocumented behavior changes.
