A JavaScript tool that allows you to debug your JavaScript by giving you a stack trace of function calls leading to an error (or any condition you specify).

The promises referenced below are ES6-Promises.

var callback = function(stackframes) {
    var stringifiedStack = stackframes.map(function(sf) { 
        return sf.toString(); 
    }).join('\n'); 
    console.log(stringifiedStack); 
};

var errback = function(err) { console.log(err.message); };

StackTrace.get().then(callback, errback)
=> Promise(Array[StackFrame](https://github.com/stacktracejs/stackframe), Error)
=> callback([StackFrame('func1', [], 'file.js', 203, 9), StackFrame('func2', [], 'http://localhost:3000/file.min.js', 1, 3284)])

// Somewhere else...
var error = new Error('BOOM!'); 

StackTrace.fromError(error).then(callback, errback)
=> Promise(Array[StackFrame](https://github.com/stacktracejs/stackframe), Error)

StackTrace.generateArtificially().then(callback, errback)
=> Promise(Array[StackFrame](https://github.com/stacktracejs/stackframe), Error)

StackTrace.instrument(interestingFn, callback, errback)
=> Instrumented Function

StackTrace.deinstrument(interestingFn)
=> De-instrumented Function

Generate a backtrace from invocation point, then parse and enhance it. options: Object

• sourceCache: Object (String URL => String Source) - Pre-populate source cache to avoid network requests
• offline: Boolean (default: false) - Set to true to prevent all network requests

Given an Error object, use error-stack-parser to parse it and enhance location information with stacktrace-gps.

• sourceCache: Object (String URL => String Source) - Pre-populate source cache to avoid network requests
• offline: Boolean (default: false) - Set to true to prevent all network requests

Use stack-generator to generate a backtrace by walking the arguments.callee.caller chain.

• sourceCache: Object (String URL => String Source) - Pre-populate source cache to avoid network requests
• offline: Boolean (default: false) - Set to true to prevent all network requests

Call callback with a stack trace anytime fn is called. Returns true if given Function is successfully instrumented

• fn - Function to wrap, call callback on invocation and call-through
• callback - Function to call with stack trace (generated by StackTrace.get()) when fn is called
• errback - (Optional) Function to call with Error object if there was a problem getting a stack trace. Fails silently (though fn is still called) if a stack trace couldn't be generated.

Remove StackTrace instrumentation on fn. Returns true if deinstrumentation succeeds.

• fn - Previously wrapped Function

• Chrome 1+
• Firefox 3+
• Safari 5+
• Opera 9+
• IE 6+
• iOS 7+
• Android 4.0+

NOTE: You won't get the benefit of source maps in IE9- or other very old browsers.

I recommend the stack-trace node package. It has a very similar API and also supports source maps.
