Handling specific errors with tryPromise in Effect Typescript
When using tryPromise when I know what errors it may throw
, do I need to do type guard
if (error instanceof KnownError)
if (error instanceof KnownError)
for each type in the
catch
catch
function as per docs
?
https://effect.website/docs/getting-started/creating-effects/#customizing-error-handling-1
feels a bit verbose
, especially that I want to propagate them up and handle somewhere else
. Only 3 errors so not too much work
, but would be nice if there is some other way
