# stack-chain [![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/AndreasMadsen/stack-chain.png)](http://travis-ci.org/AndreasMadsen/stack-chain)
> API for combining call site modifyers
## Installation
```sheel
npm install stack-chain
```
## API documentation
```JavaScript
var chain = require('stack-chain');
```
When the `Error.stack` getter is executed, the `stack-chain` will perform the
following:
1. execute the `modifiers` attached by `chain.extend`.
2. execute the `modifiers` attached by `chain.filter`.
3. execute the `formater` set by `chain.format.replace`.
### chain.extend.attach(modifier)
### chain.filter.attach(modifier)
Will modify the callSite array. Note you shouldn't format the stack trace.
The `modifier` is a function there takes two arguments `error` and `frames`.
* `error` is the `Error` object.
* `frames` is an array of `callSite` objects, see
[v8 documentation](https://github.com/v8/v8/wiki/Stack-Trace-API)
for details.
When the `modifier` is done, it should `return` a modified `frames` array.
```JavaScript
chain.filter.attach(function (error, frames) {
// Filter out traces related to this file
var rewrite = frames.filter(function (callSite) {
return callSite.getFileName() !== module.filename;
});
return rewrite;
});
```
### chain.extend.deattach(modifier)
### chain.filter.deattach(modifier)
Removes a `modifier` function from the list of `modifiers`.
```JavaScript
var modifier = function () {};
// Attach modifier function
chain.extend.attach(modifier);
// Deattach modifier function
chain.extend.deattach(modifier);
```
### chain.format.replace(formater)
Replaces the default v8 `formater`. The new `formater` takes a two arguments
`error` and `frames`.
* `error` is the `Error` object.
* `callSites` is an array of `callSite` objects, see
[v8 documentation](https://github.com/v8/v8/wiki/Stack-Trace-API)
for details.
When the `formater` is done, it should `return` a `string`. The `string` will
what `Error.stack` returns.
```JavaScript
chain.format.replace(function (error, frames) {
var lines = [];
lines.push(error.toString());
for (var i = 0; i < frames.length; i++) {
lines.push(" at " + frames[i].toString());
}
return lines.join("\n");
});
```
### chain.format.restore()
Will restore the default v8 `formater`. Note that dude to the nature of v8
`Error` objects, if one of the getters `Error.stack` or `Error.callSite` has
already executed, the value of `Error.stack` won't change.
### chain.callSite([options])
This will return the unmodified `callSite` array from the current tick. This
is a performance shortcut, as it does not require generating the `.stack`
string. This behaviour is different from the `Error().callSite` properties.
While this is mostly generating `callSite` in hot code, it can be useful to
do some modification on the array. The `options` object, supports the following:
```javascript
options = {
// (default false) run the extenders on the callSite array.
extend: true,
// (default false) run the filters on the callSite array.
filter: true,
// (default 0) before running extend or filter methods, slice of some of the
// end. This can be useful for hiding the place from where you called this
// function.
slice: 2
}
```
### chain.originalCallSite(error)
Returns the original `callSite` array.
### chain.mutatedCallSite(error)
Returns the mutated `callSite` array, that is after `extend` and `filter`
is applied. The array will not exceed the `Error.stackTraceLimit`.
### Error.stackTraceLimit
This limites the size of the `callSites` array. The default value is 10, and
can be set to any positive number including `Infinity`. See
[v8 documentation](https://github.com/v8/v8/wiki/Stack-Trace-API)
for details.
