Name
Error.name — the type of an error
Synopsis
error.name
Description
The name property of an
Error object (or of an instance of any subclass of Error) specifies
the type of error or exception that occurred. All Error objects
inherit this property from their constructor. The value of the
property is the same as the name of the constructor. Thus
SyntaxError objects have a name
property of “SyntaxError”, and EvalError objects have a name of “EvalError”.
