Error Handling
DON'T IGNORE CAUGHT ERRORS
Bad:
try {
functionThatMightThrow();
} catch (error) {
console.log(error);
}
Good:
try {
functionThatMightThrow();
} catch (error) {
// One option (more noisy than console.log):
console.error(error);
// Another option:
notifyUserOfError(error);
// Another option:
reportErrorToService(error);
// OR do all three!
}
DON'T IGNORE REJECTED PROMISES
Bad:
getdata()
.then(data => {
functionThatMightThrow(data);
})
.catch(error => {
console.log(error);
});
