The Modern JavaScript Bootcamp (2019) - Handling Application Errors

The video tutorial focuses on improving error handling in a notes and to-do app by addressing issues with local storage and JSON parsing. It demonstrates how to implement a try-catch block to handle errors gracefully, ensuring the app remains functional even with invalid data. The tutorial also applies the same logic to a to-do app, highlighting the importance of robust error handling in app development.

Why might a program not need code changes even if it throws an error?

• Because errors automatically fix themselves.

• Because errors are not important in programming.

• Because errors can be caused by external dependencies.

• Because errors are always due to bugs in the code.

What is the main issue with reading data from local storage in the notes app?

• The data is always in XML format.

• The data is not validated and assumed to be JSON.

• The data is too large to handle.

• The data is encrypted and unreadable.

What happens when invalid JSON data is parsed in the notes app?

• The app crashes and becomes unusable.

• The app continues to function normally.

• The app automatically corrects the data.

• The app displays a warning message.

How does the try-catch block help in handling errors in the notes app?

• It allows the app to continue by returning an empty array.

• It sends an error report to the developer.

• It logs the error to the console.

• It stops the app from running.

What is the purpose of returning an empty array in the catch block?

• To delete all existing notes.

• To stop the app from crashing.

• To reset the app to its default state.

• To display an error message to the user.

What is the next step after implementing error handling in the notes app?

• To remove the error handling code.

• To add more features to the notes app.

• To test the app without any error handling.

• To apply the same logic to the to-do app.

What is the main benefit of using try-catch in both apps?

• It makes the code more complex.

• It ensures the apps can handle invalid data gracefully.

• It increases the app's loading time.

• It prevents any data from being saved.
