Axios crashes the Node.js process when the request fails
I had some code using axios to make a network request:
axios({
method: 'post',
url: 'https://...',
data: JSON.stringify({
...
})
})
but I noticed that when the request failed for some reason, it crashed the Node.js process.
..until I added catch():
axios({
method: 'post',
url: 'https://...',
data: JSON.stringify({
...
})
}).catch((err) => {
console.error(err)
})
