Migrating to 2.x

The only breaking change in 2.0 is a rename in the errors module.

errors.tryCatch → errors.tryWithFallback​

// 1.x — swallow errors and fall back to a default value
import { tryCatch } from '@rtorcato/js-common/errors'
const data = await tryCatch(() => fetchData(), [])

// 2.x — same function, renamed for clarity
import { tryWithFallback } from '@rtorcato/js-common/errors'
const data = await tryWithFallback(() => fetchData(), [])

The name tryCatch is now reserved for the Result-pattern helper in @rtorcato/js-common/try, which returns { data, error } instead of swallowing:

import { tryCatch } from '@rtorcato/js-common/try'
const { data, error } = await tryCatch(() => fetchData())
if (error) { /* handle */ }

Prefer the Result-style tryCatch for new code; reserve tryWithFallback for cases where the fallback is genuinely safe.
