can someone give a sane javascript styleguide on when to use the above and when
to use this code below? otherwise, we’re simply adding to the
industry-painpoint of the language having too many cross-cutting
design-patterns, leading to hard-to-maintain web-projects with inconsistent
code across its components.
```js
return somePromise
.catch((function (reason) {
if (reason instanceof ValidationError) {
return handleValidationError(reason);
}
if (reason.code === 'ENOENT') {
return handleENOENT(reason);
}
return handleOtherErrors(reason)) // catch all others
});
```
