try-expression

JavaScript's try statement as an expression.

Install

npm install --save try-expression

Use

Try some code out and deal with an error, like try-catch:

import tryy from "try-expression";

const result = tryy(
  () => doRiskyThing(),
  error => {
    logError(error);
    return 'Sorry!';
  }
); // => 'Sorry!'

Fall back to a value if there's an error:

import tryy from "try-expression";

const config = tryy(
  () => loadConfig(),
  { squibbles: 4 }
); // => { squibbles: 4 }

Run some code to clean up, like try-catch-finally:

import tryy from "try-expression";

const result = tryy(
  () => ['Success', readFile()],
  err => ['Failure', err],
  () => closeFile()
); // => ['Failure', err]

Note that, to avoid confusing JavaScript behaviour you cannot return a value from finally.
