Developer Defined Errors

Share This Post

We can also throw our own errors. This is done with the “throw” keyword using the “new” keyword and the Error method. Here is the syntax…

try {
    let animal = newAnimal;
    throw new Error(‘This is a custom error being thrown’);
} catch(error){
    console.log(‘error: ‘, error);
} 

Why would we do this? There might be times when your code logic won’t throw a JavaScript error, but something happens that you want to catch so no issues show up later for the end user. For example, you can test whether a variable has a value and if not, throw an error.

Happy Coding!
