When throwing errors Error object should be used

[borntorun]

When throwing errors I think the Error object should be used instead of just throwing a message string:

Instead of this: position.service.js .... if (item.columnSpan > colHeights.length) { throw 'Item too large'; } ...

an Error object should be thrown: ... if (item.columnSpan > colHeights.length) { throw new Error('Item too large'); } ...

When throwing just string any code that handles exception will receive a string and not as expected an Error object.

Yes that is better practice
