# p-try [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/p-try.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/p-try)
> Start a promise chain
[How is it useful?](http://cryto.net/~joepie91/blog/2016/05/11/what-is-promise-try-and-why-does-it-matter/)
## Install
``` $ npm install p-try ```
## Usage
```js const pTry = require('p-try');
(async () => { try { const value = await pTry(() => { return synchronousFunctionThatMightThrow(); }); console.log(value); } catch (error) { console.error(error); } })(); ```
## API
### pTry(fn, ...arguments)
Returns a `Promise` resolved with the value of calling `fn(...arguments)`. If the function throws an error, the returned `Promise` will be rejected with that error.
Support for passing arguments on to the `fn` is provided in order to be able to avoid creating unnecessary closures. You probably don't need this optimization unless you're pushing a *lot* of functions.
#### fn
The function to run to start the promise chain.
#### arguments
Arguments to pass to `fn`.
