Is it possible to ignore a catch and return back to the chain?
promiseA() // <-- fails with 'missing' reason
.then(promiseB) // <-- these are not going to run
.then(promiseC)
.catch(function(error, ignore){
if(error.type == 'missing'){
ignore() // <-- ignore the catch and run promiseB and promiseC
}
})
Is something like this possible?
Here's the synchronous analogy:
try {
action1(); // throws
action2(); // skipped
action3(); // skipped
} catch (e) {
// can't resume
}
vs
try {
action1(); // throws
} catch (e) {
handleError(e);
}
action2(); // executes normally
action3();
Here's the promise version:
asyncActionA() // <-- fails with 'missing' reason
.catch(error => {
if(error.type == 'missing'){
return; // Makes sure the promise is resolved, so the chain continues
}
throw error; // Otherwise, rethrow to keep the Promise rejected
})
.asyncActionB(promiseB) // <-- runs
.asyncActionC(promiseC)
.catch(err => {
// Handle errors which are not of type 'missing'.
});
If you need just ignore all error in promiseA, you can just do it like that:
promiseA()
.catch(function(error){
//just do nothing, returns promise resolved with undefined
})
.then(promiseB)
.then(promiseC)
If you need to run promiseB only when error.type == 'missing'
, you can do that:
promiseA()
.catch(function(error, ignore){
if(error.type == 'missing'){
return promiseB.then(promiseC)
}
})
