We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.
The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.
When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.
To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!
tryRequire
[![NPM version][npm-image]][npm-url] [![Build Status][test-image]][test-url] [![Coverage Status][coverage-image]][coverage-url]
Wrap
require
in a try/catch block.
bash
npm install @stdlib/utils-try-require
javascript
var tryRequire = require( '@stdlib/utils-try-require' );
#### tryRequire( id )
Wraps require
in a try/catch
block. If able to resolve a module id
, the function returns the value bound to module.exports
in the resolved module. Otherwise, the function returns an Error
.
javascript
var x = tryRequire( 'beep' );
if ( x instanceof Error ) {
console.log( x.message );
}
javascript
var resolve = require( 'path' ).resolve;
var out = tryRequire( resolve( '/foo/bar/baz', '..', 'lib', 'beep.js' ) );
if ( out instanceof Error ) {
console.error( out.message );
}
javascript
var tryRequire = require( '@stdlib/utils-try-require' );
var out = tryRequire( '_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz123456789_' );
if ( out instanceof Error ) {
console.error( out.message );
} else {
throw new Error( 'expected an error' );
}
out = tryRequire( '@stdlib/utils-try-require' );
if ( out !== tryRequire ) {
throw new Error( 'expected export' );
}
