  package System::Error;

  use Venus::Class;

  base 'Venus::Error';

  sub as_auth_error {
    my ($self) = @_;

  }

  }

  sub is_role_error {
    my ($self) = @_;

    return $self->message eq 'role_error';
  }

  package main;

  my $error = System::Error->new->as('role_error');

  $error->throw;

  # Exception! (isa Venus::Error)
as example 3
  package Virtual::Error;

  use Venus::Class;

  base 'Venus::Error';

  package main;

  my $error = Virtual::Error->new->as('on_save_error');

  $error->throw;

  # name is "on_save_error"

  # Exception! (isa Venus::Error)
as example 4
  package Virtual::Error;

  use Venus::Class;

  base 'Venus::Error';

  package main;

  my $error = Virtual::Error->new->as('on.SAVE.error');

  $error->throw;

  # name is "on_save_error"

  # Exception! (isa Venus::Error)

explain

  explain() (Str)

The explain method returns the error message and is used in stringification operations.

Since 0.01

explain example 1
  # given: synopsis;

  my $explain = $error->explain;

  # "Exception! in ...

frames

  frames() (ArrayRef)

The frames method returns the compiled and stashed stack trace data.

Since 0.01

frames example 1
  # given: synopsis;

  my $frames = $error->frames;

  # [
  #   ...
  #   [
  #     "main",
  #     "t/Venus_Error.t",
  #     ...
  #   ],
  # ]

is

  is(Str $name) (Bool)

The is method returns truthy or falsy based on the return value(s) of the "is" method specified, which should be defined as "is_${name}", which will be called automatically by this method. If no "is_${name}" method exists, this method will check if the "name" attribute is equal to the value provided.

of

  of(Str $name) (Bool)

The of method returns truthy or falsy based on the return value(s) of the "of" method specified, which should be defined as "of_${name}", which will be called automatically by this method. If no "of_${name}" method exists, this method will check if the "name" attribute contains the value provided.

throw

  throw(Any @data) (Error)

The throw method throws an error if the invocant is an object, or creates an error object using the arguments provided and throws the created object.

  my $trace = $error->trace;

  # bless({ ... }, 'Venus::Error')
trace example 2
  # given: synopsis;

  my $trace = $error->trace(0, 1);

  # bless({ ... }, 'Venus::Error')
trace example 3
  # given: synopsis;

  my $trace = $error->trace(0, 2);
