#only-throw-error

#Configuration

import { defineConfig, ts } from '@rslint/core';

export default defineConfig([
  ts.configs.recommended,
  {
    rules: {
      '@typescript-eslint/only-throw-error': 'error',
    },
  },
]);

#Rule Details

Disallow throwing non-Error values as exceptions. It is considered good practice to only throw Error objects, because they automatically capture a stack trace which can be used to debug the error. Throwing non-Error values such as strings, numbers, or undefined does not provide this benefit and makes debugging harder.

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

throw 'error';
throw 0;
throw undefined;
throw { message: 'error' };

Examples of correct code for this rule:

throw new Error('error');
throw new RangeError('error');

class CustomError extends Error {}
throw new CustomError('error');
