Description

Properties

TypeError.prototype.name
Error name. Inherited from Error.
TypeError.prototype.fileName
Path to file that raised this error. Inherited from Error.
TypeError.prototype.lineNumber
Line number in file that raised this error. Inherited from Error.
TypeError.prototype.columnNumber

TypeError.prototype.stack

Methods

Although the TypeError prototype object does not contain any methods of its own, TypeError instances do inherit some methods through the prototype chain.
