Handle error from setTimeout

Question

Simple question about try-catch for function in setTimeout

try {
    setTimeout(function () {
        throw new Error(\'error!\');
    }, 300)
} catch (e) {
         


        

Answer 1

Because the catch block lexically surrounds the setTimeout call but that is not the function that throws. The direct translation, is

setTimeout(function () {
  try {
    throw new Error('error!');
  } catch (e) {
    console.log('eeee!');
    console.log(e);
  }
}, 300);
