TypeScript Error Handling: Beyond try...catch

This article delves into the current state and improved approaches to error handling in TypeScript. The traditional try...catch method, while sufficient for simple scenarios, presents type safety and scalability challenges in complex applications. The article compares two modern alternatives: the Go-style return tuple and the Monadic style using Result types (like the neverthrow library). The Go-style offers simplicity but leads to verbose code; the Monadic style is more powerful but has a steeper learning curve. The author suggests choosing an approach based on project complexity and team expertise, advocating for try...catch in simple applications and Result types for enhanced type safety and readability in more complex systems.
