Backbone.js: Better error visibility
over 1 year
ago
Indeed, interesting idea.
Couple cautions with this approach:
1) Performance concerns. http://flippinawesome.org/2013/09/30/rethinking-javascripts-trycatch/. Just the presence of a try/catch block in a section of javascript code can have performance implications (meaning even if no exception is thrown)
2) In IE8 + 9, "console" is only available when you have developer tools open. If an error occurs and you haven't opened dev tools, you'll get an error trying to use it. Mostly I'm saying this in reference to your comment "Supported in IE8 and every other browser"
