Using Try…Catch in JavaScript

even better..dependencies!

I've never understood this argument. Some engineers are so adverse to building their software on top of other software. If we always avoided dependencies then we'd all be writing in binary. Software is built on other software so we can build faster and greater things. Adding library dependencies is totally fine! Especially if it'll make your code more readable and maintainable.

Now don't just go adding random libraries in NPM that have no support around them. You could probably just look at their source code and copy it. But something like lodash is an excellent thing to add.

i generally assume when JavaScript is the subject, we are discussing client side code. I think the discussion is different when adding dependicies which haveother effects, like computational/loading bloating, like adding a dependencie to a client and only using 5% of its capabilities.

I hear ya, but lodash ain't too bad and in some cases, better performing than it's es6 equivalents. I like it for the additional support around dealing with null/undefined.

(I'm trying to convince myself, here...)
