# Safe Await

Safely use async/await without all the try catch blocks

- `[error, data]` promise signatures

- Throws on [native errors](https://bit.ly/2VsoCGE)

## Usage

```js

const safeAwait = require('safe-await')

async function fooBar() {

  const [error, data] = await safeAwait(promiseOne())

  if (error) {

    // handle error, retry, ignore, whatever

  }

  console.log(data)

}

```

See [usage](./usage.js) and [tests](./tests) for more examples.
