SyntaxError

The SyntaxError constructor creates a new error object that represents an error when trying to interpret syntactically invalid code.

Syntax​

new SyntaxError()
new SyntaxError(message)
new SyntaxError(message, options)
new SyntaxError(message, fileName)
new SyntaxError(message, fileName, lineNumber)

SyntaxError()
SyntaxError(message)
SyntaxError(message, options)
SyntaxError(message, fileName)
SyntaxError(message, fileName, lineNumber)

Note: SyntaxError() can be called with or without new. Both create a new SyntaxError instance.

Parameters​

  • message optional
    • : Human-readable description of the error
  • options optional
    • : An object that has the following properties:
      • cause optional
        • : A property indicating the specific cause of the error. When catching and re-throwing an error with a more-specific or useful error message, this property can be used to pass the original error.
