This recipe transforms the usage of types.isNativeError to use Error.isError() to handle Node.js DEP0197.

What It Does

This codemod replaces:

Before:

import { types } from "node:util";

if (types.isNativeError(err)) {
  // handle the error
}

After:

if (Error.isError(err)) {
  // handle the error
}

Before:

const { types } = require("node:util");

if (types.isNativeError(err)) {
  // handle the error
}

After:

if (Error.isError(err)) {
  // handle the error
}

Run this codemod on your project:

npx codemod node/userland/types-is-native-error

Error.isError() is now the preferred way to check if a value is an Error object. This method is available globally without requiring any imports.
