Not able to catch error for .on() in firebase
I am using below code to retrieve a value
try {
discountFbRef.orderByChild('discode').equalTo(code).on("value", function(snapshot) {
console.log('snapshot val discode', snapshot.val().discode);
if (snapshot.exists()) {
snapshot.forEach(function(data) {
$scope.discountApplicable.id = data.val().id;
});
} else {
console.log('It doesnt exist');
}
}, function(error) {
console.log(error);
});
} catch (error) {
console.log('error occured during search', error);
}
When there is value equal to the search string it's working fine. But when I try to find a keyword that doesn't exist in "discode", It throws
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'discode' of null
For some reason even though I try to catch the error with try-catch and error function I am not able to catch it.
I need a way to handle the error and show message that search string doesn't exist.

So, the functions that are passed to the second and third parameters of .on are called a callback functions. That means they might get called after (asynchronously) the code you've posted has executed. You'll want to move your try-catch inside of the callback function.
function handleValueSuccess(snapshot) {
try {
console.log('snapshot val discode', snapshot.val().discode);
if (snapshot.exists()) {
snapshot.forEach(function(data) {
$scope.discountApplicable.id = data.val().id;
});
} else {
console.log("It doesn't exist");
}
} catch (error) {
console.log('error occurred during search', error);
}
}
function handleValueError(error) {
console.log('error occurred on value', error);
}
discountFbRef
.orderByChild('discode')
.equalTo(code)
.on("value", handleValueSuccess, handleValueError);

I moved them to the call back function it didn't catch errors. I'm not sure how would it work because there is a console.log() inside the call back it doesn't log anything. May be I did something wrong could you show the code based on my code?

Thanks it worked, I put try catch after the console.log() which is doing the snapshot.val().discode.
