Class: MissingStateIdError

API / @xmachines/play-xstate / errors / MissingStateIdError

Defined in: packages/play-xstate/src/errors.ts:154

formatPlayRouteTransitions() throws this error when a state node declares a meta.route field but no explicit id field.

Without an id, the function can generate no play.route guard that targets the state: the guard compares event.to with #<id>. An absent id therefore makes the state unreachable through the routing, and nothing says so. This error shows the fault of the configuration at the moment of the machine definition, and the function skips no state in silence.

Error code: PLAY_XSTATE_MISSING_STATE_ID

Example

// Bad — a meta.route field without an id field:
states: {
  profile: {
    meta: { route: "/profile/:username" },
    // ← the id: "profile" field is absent
  }
}

// Good:
states: {
  profile: {
    id: "profile",
    meta: { route: "/profile/:username" },
  }
}

Properties

Property	Modifier	Type	Description	Inherited from	Defined in
`cause?`	`public`	`unknown`	-	`PlayError`.`cause`	-
`code`	`readonly`	`string`	A stable, machine-readable identifier of the error. An error code follows the naming convention `PLAY_<PACKAGE>_<DESCRIPTION>`. It stays the same across each patch release and each minor release of one major version. Never match on `.message`. Always match on `.code`, or on the subclass.	`PlayError`.`code`	packages/play/src/errors.ts:76
`message`	`public`	`string`	-	`PlayError`.`message`	-
`name`	`public`	`string`	-	`PlayError`.`name`	-
`route`	`readonly`	`string`	The route template of the state, for example `"/profile/:username"`.	-	packages/play-xstate/src/errors.ts:158
`scope`	`readonly`	`string`	The class or the module that threw this error, for example `"RouterBridgeBase"`.	`PlayError`.`scope`	packages/play/src/errors.ts:66
`stack?`	`public`	`string`	-	`PlayError`.`stack`	-
`stateKey`	`readonly`	`string`	The state key, which is the position in the tree of the states, without an explicit `id` field.	-	packages/play-xstate/src/errors.ts:156
`stackTraceLimit`	`static`	`number`	The `Error.stackTraceLimit` property specifies the number of stack frames collected by a stack trace (whether generated by `new Error().stack` or `Error.captureStackTrace(obj)`). The default value is `10` but may be set to any valid JavaScript number. Changes will affect any stack trace captured after the value has been changed. If set to a non-number value, or set to a negative number, stack traces will not capture any frames.	`PlayError`.`stackTraceLimit`	-

Methods

captureStackTrace()

static captureStackTrace(targetObject, constructorOpt?): void;

Defined in: @types/node

Creates a .stack property on targetObject, which when accessed returns a string representing the location in the code at which Error.captureStackTrace() was called.

const myObject = {};
Error.captureStackTrace(myObject);
myObject.stack; // Similar to `new Error().stack`

The first line of the trace will be prefixed with ${myObject.name}: ${myObject.message}.

The optional constructorOpt argument accepts a function. If given, all frames above constructorOpt, including constructorOpt, will be omitted from the generated stack trace.

The constructorOpt argument is useful for hiding implementation details of error generation from the user. For instance:

function a() {
  b();
}

function b() {
  c();
}

function c() {
  // Create an error without stack trace to avoid calculating the stack trace twice.
  const { stackTraceLimit } = Error;
  Error.stackTraceLimit = 0;
  const error = new Error();
  Error.stackTraceLimit = stackTraceLimit;

  // Capture the stack trace above function b
  Error.captureStackTrace(error, b); // Neither function c, nor b is included in the stack trace
  throw error;
}

a();
