This snippet executes a function, returning either the result or the caught error object.
const attempt = (fn, ...args) => {
try {
return fn(...args);
} catch (e) {
return e instanceof Error ? e : new Error(e);
}
};
var elements = attempt(function(selector) {
return document.querySelectorAll(selector);
}, '>_>');
if (elements instanceof Error) elements = []; // elements = []
