How to log stack traces in node.js

Question

Looking for a node.js package that handles stack tracing similar to how this is done in RoR:

Rails: Logging the entire stack trace of an exception

Answer 1

You can get this text off of the .stack property from any Error. For instance:

try {     throw new Error(); } catch (e) {     console.log(e.stack); } 

or just new up an error for the purposes of getting the stack trace

console.log(new Error().stack) 

Answer 2

there's a function for that: console.trace()

In case you don't want to log to console you can get the stack trace string value using new Error().stack
