Throw is about control flow – not error handling
Manage episode 411765740 series 1635850
Sam and Ryan talk about why it’s better to think of throw as a general-purpose JavaScript language feature rather than something that should only be used for error handling. They discuss the ambiguity around the phrase “error handling”, situations that call for dealing with errors locally vs. globally, and how throw can be useful for non-error control flow. They also discuss the problems with trying to shoehorn dynamic features into a static site.
Topics include:
- 0:00 - Intro
- 4:07 - Error handling vs. throw-try/catch
- 23:34 - Errors vs. Exceptions
- 31:52 - How Next.js uses throw for non-error control flow
- 40:44 - Adding a dynamic feature to a static site
