Unhandle rpc error

[michelem09]

How do you handle connection error like wrong password?

I have something like this:

const createBitcoinClient = (settings) => {
  try {
    const bitcoinClient = new bitcoin({
      host: process.env.BITCOIN_NODE_HOST || '127.0.0.1',
      port: process.env.BITCOIN_NODE_PORT || 8332,
      username: process.env.BITCOIN_NODE_USER || 'bitcoin',
      password: process.env.BITCOIN_NODE_PASS || 'bitcoin',
      timeout: 30000,
      ssl: false,
    });

    return bitcoinClient;
  } catch (error) {
    throw error;
  }
};

but if the password is wrong it doesn't seem to throw the error instead the app crashes with:

node_modules/bitcoin-core/src/parser.js:57
      throw new RpcError(response.statusCode, response.statusMessage, { body: response.body });
