## Usage
|
|
16
|
|
|
17
|
```js
|
|
18
|
const pTry = require('p-try');
|
|
19
|
|
|
20
|
(async () => {
|
|
21
|
try {
|
|
22
|
const value = await pTry(() => {
|
|
23
|
return synchronousFunctionThatMightThrow();
|
|
24
|
});
|
|
25
|
console.log(value);
|
|
26
|
} catch (error) {
|
|
27
|

## API
|
|
34
|
|
|
35
|
### pTry(fn, ...arguments)
|
|
36
|
|
|
37
|
Returns a `Promise` resolved with the value of calling `fn(...arguments)`. If the function throws an error, the returned `Promise` will be rejected with that error.
|
|
38
|
|
|
39
|
Support for passing arguments on to the `fn` is provided in order to be able to avoid creating unnecessary closures. You probably don't need this optimization unless you're pushing a *lot* of functions.
|
|
40
|
|
|
41
|
#### fn
|
|
42
|
|
|
43
|
The function to run to start the promise chain.
|
|
44
|
|
|
45
|
#### arguments
|
|
46
|
|
|
47
|
Arguments to pass to `fn`.
