## Errors

NAN includes helpers for creating, throwing and catching Errors as much of this functionality varies across the supported versions of V8 and must be abstracted.

Note that an Error object is simply a specialized form of `v8::Value`.

Also consult the V8 Embedders Guide section on [Exceptions](https://developers.google.com/v8/embed#exceptions) for more information.

### Nan::Error()

Create a new Error object using the [v8::Exception](https://v8docs.nodesource.com/node-8.16/da/d6a/classv8_1_1_exception.html) class in a way that is compatible across the supported versions of V8.

Note that an Error object is simply a specialized form of `v8::Value`.

Signature:

```c++
v8::Local<v8::Value> Nan::Error(const char *msg);
v8::Local<v8::Value> Nan::Error(v8::Local<v8::String> msg);
```

### Nan::RangeError()

Create a new RangeError object using the [v8::Exception](https://v8docs.nodesource.com/node-8.16/da/d6a/classv8_1_1_exception.html) class in a way that is compatible across the supported versions of V8.

Note that an RangeError object is simply a specialized form of `v8::Value`.

Signature:

```c++
v8::Local<v8::Value> Nan::RangeError(const char *msg);
v8::Local<v8::Value> Nan::RangeError(v8::Local<v8::String> msg);
```


<a name="api_nan_reference_error"></a>
### Nan::ReferenceError()

Create a new ReferenceError object using the [v8::Exception](https://v8docs.nodesource.com/node-8.16/da/d6a/classv8_1_1_exception.html) class in a way that is compatible across the supported versions of V8.

Note that an ReferenceError object is simply a specialized form of `v8::Value`.

Signature:

```c++
v8::Local<v8::Value> Nan::ReferenceError(const char *msg);
v8::Local<v8::Value> Nan::ReferenceError(v8::Local<v8::String> msg);
```


<a name="api_nan_syntax_error"></a>
### Nan::SyntaxError()

Create a new SyntaxError object using the [v8::Exception](https://v8docs.nodesource.com/node-8.16/da/d6a/classv8_1_1_exception.html) class in a way that is compatible across the supported versions of V8.

Note that an SyntaxError object is simply a specialized form of `v8::Value`.

Signature:

```c++
v8::Local<v8::Value> Nan::SyntaxError(const char *msg);
v8::Local<v8::Value> Nan::SyntaxError(v8::Local<v8::String> msg);
```


<a name="api_nan_type_error"></a>
### Nan::TypeError()

Create a new TypeError object using the [v8::Exception](https://v8docs.nodesource.com/node-8.16/da/d6a/classv8_1_1_exception.html) class in a way that is compatible across the supported versions of V8.

Note that an TypeError object is simply a specialized form of `v8::Value`.

Signature:

```c++
v8::Local<v8::Value> Nan::TypeError(const char *msg);
v8::Local<v8::Value> Nan::TypeError(v8::Local<v8::String> msg);
```


<a name="api_nan_throw_error"></a>
### Nan::ThrowError()

Throw an Error object (a specialized `v8::Value` as above) in the current context. If a `msg` is provided, a new Error object will be created.

Signature:

```c++
void Nan::ThrowError(const char *msg);
void Nan::ThrowError(v8::Local<v8::String> msg);
void Nan::ThrowError(v8::Local<v8::Value> error);
```


<a name="api_nan_throw_range_error"></a>
### Nan::ThrowRangeError()

Throw an RangeError object (a specialized `v8::Value` as above) in the current context. If a `msg` is provided, a new RangeError object will be created.

Signature:

```c++
void Nan::ThrowRangeError(const char *msg);
void Nan::ThrowRangeError(v8::Local<v8::String> msg);
void Nan::ThrowRangeError(v8::Local<v8::Value> error);
```


<a name="api_nan_throw_reference_error"></a>
### Nan::ThrowReferenceError()

Throw an ReferenceError object (a specialized `v8::Value` as above) in the current context. If a `msg` is provided, a new ReferenceError object will be created.

Signature:

<a name="api_nan_fatal_exception"></a>

### Nan::TryCatch

A simple wrapper around [`v8::TryCatch`](https://v8docs.nodesource.com/node-8.16/d4/dc6/classv8_1_1_try_catch.html) compatible with all supported versions of V8.

Signature:

```c++
class Nan::TryCatch {
 public:
  Nan::TryCatch();

  bool HasCaught() const;

  bool CanContinue() const;

  v8::Local<v8::Value> ReThrow();

  v8::Local<v8::Value> Exception() const;

  // Nan::MaybeLocal for older versions of V8
  v8::MaybeLocal<v8::Value> StackTrace() const;

  v8::Local<v8::Message> Message() const;

  void Reset();

  void SetVerbose(bool value);

  void SetCaptureMessage(bool value);
};
