Example 1: js throw custom error

class CustomError extends Error {
  constructor(foo = 'bar', ...params) {
    // Pass remaining arguments (including vendor specific ones) to parent constructor
    super(...params)

    // Maintains proper stack trace for where our error was thrown (only available on V8)
    if (Error.captureStackTrace) {
      Error.captureStackTrace(this, CustomError)
    }

    this.name = 'CustomError'
    // Custom debugging information
    this.foo = foo
    this.date = new Date()
  }
}

try {
  throw new CustomError('baz', 'bazMessage')
} catch(e) {
  console.error(e.name)    //CustomError
  console.error(e.foo)     //baz
  console.error(e.message) //bazMessage
  console.error(e.stack)   //stacktrace
}

Error.prototype.toString = function() {
  'use strict';

  var obj = Object(this);
  if (obj !== this) {
