Custom exception type

Question

Can I define custom types for user-defined exceptions in JavaScript? If so, how would I do it?

Answer 1

An alternative to the answer of asselin for use with ES2015 classes

class InvalidArgumentException extends Error {
    constructor(message) {
        super();
        Error.captureStackTrace(this, this.constructor);
        this.name = "InvalidArgumentException";
        this.message = message;
    }
}
