Question

Is there something along the lines of python ‘pass’ in javascript?

I want to do the javascript equivalent of:

try:
  # Something that throws exception
catch:
  pass

Answer 1

pass is a no-op in Python. You need it for empty blocks because

try:
    # Something that throws exception
catch:

# continue other stuff

is a syntax error. In JavaScript you can just use an empty catch block.

try {
    // Something that throws exception
}
catch (e) {}
