[][src]Crate console_error_panic_hook

console_error_panic_hook

Build Status

This crate lets you debug panics on wasm32-unknown-unknown by providing a panic hook that forwards panic messages to console.error.

When an error is reported with console.error, browser devtools and node.js will typically capture a stack trace and display it with the logged error message.

Without console_error_panic_hook you just get something like RuntimeError: Unreachable executed

Browser: Console without panic hook

Node: Node console without panic hook

With this panic hook installed you will see the panic message

Browser: Console with panic hook set up

Node: Node console with panic hook set up

Usage

There are two ways to install this panic hook.

First, you can set the hook yourself by calling std::panic::set_hook in some initialization function:

extern crate console_error_panic_hook;
use std::panic;

fn my_init_function() {
    panic::set_hook(Box::new(console_error_panic_hook::hook));

    // ...
}

Alternatively, use set_once on some common code path to ensure that set_hook is called, but only the one time. Under the hood, this uses std::sync::Once.

extern crate console_error_panic_hook;

struct MyBigThing;

impl MyBigThing {
    pub fn new() -> MyBigThing {
        console_error_panic_hook::set_once();

        MyBigThing
    }
}

Functions

hook

A panic hook for use with std::panic::set_hook that logs panics into console.error.

set_once

Set the console.error panic hook the first time this is called. Subsequent invocations do nothing.
