```
or install using [yarn](https://yarnpkg.com)
```
$ yarn add clean-stacktrace
```
## Usage
> For more use-cases see the [tests](test.js)
```js
const cleanStacktrace = require('clean-stacktrace')
```
## API
### [cleanStacktrace](index.js#L58)
> Removes mostly not needed internal Nodejs entries. If you pass `mapper` function, you can make more changes to each line of the stack - for example making the paths to be relative, not absolute.
**Params**
* `stack` **{String}**: an error stack trace
* `mapper` **{Function}**: more customization for each line
* `returns` **{String}**: modified and cleaned stack
**Example**
```js
var cleanStack = require('clean-stacktrace')
var error = new Error('Missing unicorn')
console.log(error.stack)
// =>
// Error: Missing unicorn
// at Object.<anonymous> (/Users/sindresorhus/dev/clean-stack/unicorn.js:2:15)
// at Module._compile (module.js:409:26)
// at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:416:10)
// at Module.load (module.js:343:32)
// at Function.Module._load (module.js:300:12)
// at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:441:10)
// at startup (node.js:139:18)
console.log(cleanStack(error.stack))
// =>
// Error: Missing unicorn
// at Object.<anonymous> (/Users/sindresorhus/dev/clean-stack/unicorn.js:2:15)
// or making paths relative
var path = require('path')
var stack = clean(error.stack, (line) => {
var m = /.*\((.*)\).?/.exec(line) || []
return m[1] ? line.replace(m[1], path.relative(process.cwd(), m[1])) : line
})
// =>
// Error: Missing unicorn
// at Object.<anonymous> (unicorn.js:2:15)
```

## Contributing
Pull requests and stars are always welcome. For bugs and feature requests, [please create an issue](https://github.com/tunnckoCore/clean-stacktrace/issues/new).
Please read the [contributing guidelines](CONTRIBUTING.md) for advice on opening issues, pull requests, and coding standards.
If you need some help and can spent some cash, feel free to [contact me at CodeMentor.io](https://www.codementor.io/tunnckocore?utm_source=github&utm_medium=button&utm_term=tunnckocore&utm_campaign=github) too.
**In short:** If you want to contribute to that project, please follow these things
1. Please DO NOT edit [README.md](README.md), [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) and [.verb.md](.verb.md) files. See ["Building docs"](#building-docs) section.
2. Ensure anything is okey by installing the dependencies and run the tests. See ["Running tests"](#running-tests) section.
3. Always use `npm run commit` to commit changes instead of `git commit`, because it is interactive and user-friendly. It uses [commitizen][] behind the scenes, which follows Conventional Changelog idealogy.
4. Do NOT bump the version in package.json. For that we use `npm run release`, which is [standard-version][] and follows Conventional Changelog idealogy.
Thanks a lot! :)
## Building docs
Documentation and that readme is generated using [verb-generate-readme][], which is a [verb][] generator, so you need to install both of them and then run `verb` command like that
```
$ npm install verbose/verb#dev verb-generate-readme --global && verb
```
_Please don't edit the README directly. Any changes to the readme must be made in [.verb.md](.verb.md)._
## Running tests
Clone repository and run the following in that cloned directory
```
$ npm install && npm test
```
