    Class TypeGuardError<T>

    Error thrown when type assertion fails.

    Thrown by assert, assertGuard, and other assert-family functions when input doesn't match expected type T. Contains detailed information about the first assertion failure:

    • method: Which typia function threw (e.g., "typia.assert")
    • path: Property path where error occurred (e.g., "input.user.age")
    • expected: Expected type string (e.g., "number & ExclusiveMinimum<19>")
    • value: Actual value that failed validation

    Type Parameters

    • T = any

      Expected type (for type safety)

    Properties

    cause?: unknown
    description?: string

    Optional human-readable error description.

    Primarily for AI agent libraries or custom validation scenarios needing additional context. Standard assertions rely on path, expected, and value for error reporting.

    expected: string

    String representation of expected type.

    E.g., "string", "number & ExclusiveMinimum<19>", "{ name: string; age: number }".

    message: string
    method: string

    Name of the typia method that threw this error.

    E.g., "typia.assert", "typia.assertEquals", "typia.assertGuard".

    name: string
    path: string | undefined

    Property path where assertion failed.

    Uses dot notation for nested properties. undefined if error occurred at root level.

    E.g., "input.age", "input.profile.email", "input[0].name".

    stack?: string
    value: unknown

    Actual value that failed assertion.

    The raw value at the error path, useful for debugging.

    stackTraceLimit: number

    The Error.stackTraceLimit property specifies the number of stack frames collected by a stack trace (whether generated by new Error().stack or Error.captureStackTrace(obj)).

    The default value is 10 but may be set to any valid JavaScript number. Changes will affect any stack trace captured after the value has been changed.

    If set to a non-number value, or set to a negative number, stack traces will not capture any frames.

    Methods

    • Creates a .stack property on targetObject, which when accessed returns a string representing the location in the code at which Error.captureStackTrace() was called.

      const myObject = {};
      Error.captureStackTrace(myObject);
      myObject.stack; // Similar to `new Error().stack`

      The first line of the trace will be prefixed with ${myObject.name}: ${myObject.message}.

      The optional constructorOpt argument accepts a function. If given, all frames above constructorOpt, including constructorOpt, will be omitted from the generated stack trace.

      The constructorOpt argument is useful for hiding implementation details of error generation from the user. For instance:

      function a() {
      b();
      }

      function b() {
      c();
      }

      function c() {
      // Create an error without stack trace to avoid calculating the stack trace twice.
      const { stackTraceLimit } = Error;
      Error.stackTraceLimit = 0;
      const error = new Error();
      Error.stackTraceLimit = stackTraceLimit;

      // Capture the stack trace above function b
      Error.captureStackTrace(error, b); // Neither function c, nor b is included in the stack trace
      throw error;
      }

      a();
