# template-error [![NPM version](https://badge.fury.io/js/template-error.svg)](http://badge.fury.io/js/template-error)

> Make template errors easy to understand and fix.

## Install

Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/)

```sh
$ npm i template-error --save
```

## Usage

```js
var rethrow = require('template-error');

rethrow('\n<%= a %>\n<%= b %>', {
  data: {a: 'aaa'}
});
```

When a template variable is not defined, like `<%= b %>` in the example above, instead of getting a cryptic error message and wasting time on debugging, you get this:
