panel-error

Client library for handling compilation errors of coffee/browserify in panel-static, enabling live-relaod even when js can't be returned and shows error on frontend console.

example

You have <script src="app.coffee"></script> in your page. When app.coffee can't be compiled by middleware, script from this repository is sent back instead and shows you what happend in Developer Tools and also establishes backup connection to live-relaod backend, so you don't need to reload after you fix the thing.

internal implementation notes

This script is prepended with some info about the error that occured. It looks something like this

window._panelErrors = window._panelErrors || []
window._panelErrors.push('Long error message, stacktrace, etc')
 
// and inlined error.js

development

Edit src/main.coffee, use npm run prepublish to build compiled and minified lib/error.js.
