Meteor.Error

new Meteor.Error(error, [reason], [details])

Arguments

error String

A string code uniquely identifying this kind of error. This string should be used by callers of the method to determine the appropriate action to take, instead of attempting to parse the reason or details fields. For example:

// on the server, pick a code unique to this error
// the reason field should be a useful debug message
throw new Meteor.Error("logged-out", 
  "The user must be logged in to post a comment.");

// on the client
Meteor.call("methodName", function (error) {
  // identify the error
  if (error && error.error === "logged-out") {
    // show a nice error message
    Session.set("errorMessage", "Please log in to post a comment.");
  }
});

For legacy reasons, some built-in Meteor functions such as check throw errors with a number in this field.

reason String

Optional. A short human-readable summary of the error, like 'Not Found'.

details String

Optional. Additional information about the error, like a textual stack trace.
