await-to-js is a tiny TypeScript utility library that wraps promises in an async/await-friendly helper, returning [error, data] tuples instead of throwing. It lets developers handle async errors without try-catch blocks.

Use cases

• handle async errors without try-catch
• avoid try-catch boilerplate in async functions
• get error and result from a promise as a tuple
• write cleaner async/await error handling in node
• use go-style error handling in javascript
• type-safe promise error handling in typescript

When to choose

• you write lots of async/await code and dislike nested try-catch blocks
• you want a tiny, zero-dependency, typed utility for promise error handling
• you prefer Go-style [err, value] patterns in JavaScript or TypeScript

When to avoid

• you prefer standard try-catch semantics or need stack traces preserved exactly
• your codebase relies on thrown errors propagating through middleware
• you need promise cancellation or advanced async control flow
