# 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`.
