| # p-try [](https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/p-try)
 | |
| 
 | |
| > Start a promise chain
 | |
| 
 | |
| [How is it useful?](http://cryto.net/~joepie91/blog/2016/05/11/what-is-promise-try-and-why-does-it-matter/)
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Install
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| $ npm install p-try
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Usage
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```js
 | |
| const pTry = require('p-try');
 | |
| 
 | |
| (async () => {
 | |
| 	try {
 | |
| 		const value = await pTry(() => {
 | |
| 			return synchronousFunctionThatMightThrow();
 | |
| 		});
 | |
| 		console.log(value);
 | |
| 	} catch (error) {
 | |
| 		console.error(error);
 | |
| 	}
 | |
| })();
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## API
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### pTry(fn, ...arguments)
 | |
| 
 | |
| Returns a `Promise` resolved with the value of calling `fn(...arguments)`. If the function throws an error, the returned `Promise` will be rejected with that error.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Support for passing arguments on to the `fn` is provided in order to be able to avoid creating unnecessary closures. You probably don't need this optimization unless you're pushing a *lot* of functions.
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### fn
 | |
| 
 | |
| The function to run to start the promise chain.
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### arguments
 | |
| 
 | |
| Arguments to pass to `fn`.
