nice-try

A function that tries to execute a function and discards any error that occurs.

npm install nice-try

importniceTryfrom'nice-try'niceTry(()=>JSON.parse('true'))// trueniceTry(()=>JSON.parse('error'))// undefinedniceTry()// undefinedniceTry(true)// undefined

importniceTryfrom'nice-try/promises'awaitniceTry(async()=>JSON.parse('true'))// trueawaitniceTry(async()=>JSON.parse('error'))// undefined

• fn{Function} The function to execute.

• {any} The return value of the function, or undefined if an error occurred.

• fn{Function} An asynchronous function to execute.

• {Promise<any>} The result of the function if it resolves successfully, otherwise undefined if an error is thrown.
