A function that tries to execute a function and discards any error that occurs.

npm install nice-try

const niceTry = require('nice-try')

niceTry(() => JSON.parse('true')) // true
niceTry(() => JSON.parse('truee')) // undefined
niceTry() // undefined
niceTry(true) // undefined

await niceTry.promise(async () => JSON.parse('true')) // true
await niceTry.promise(async () => JSON.parse('truee')) // undefined

• fn {Function} Function that might or might not throw an error.

• {?*} Return-value of the function when no error occurred.
