try-function

Installation

npm install try-function

Usage

Convert this:

let payload: string | undefined;
try {
  payload = decode("abc123");
} catch (error) {
  // ...
}

... to this:

const payload = tryFn(
  () => decode("abc123"),
  (error) => {
    // ...
  }
);

• Functional with no re-assignement (no need for let)
• Less error-prone
• Automatic typing (no need to define result's type)
• Supports async functions out-of-the-box
• Supports finally blocks
• No dependencies
• Fully tested
