How to catch abort errors in JavaScript?

Support Question

How can I catch a Perspective error from JavaScript?

For example, if I pass a bad config to table.view(config) I see an uncaught error like this:

But wrapping the offending call in a try/catch has no effect.

I didn't find anything about error handling in the documentation. This looks like what I want, but seems to only apply to Python/C++, not JavaScript:
#777

What do you suggest? Thanks!

Due to the design of these "proxy" objects to their real-equivalents which live in the WebWorker, catching constructor errors is not possible up to version 0.6.2. On the master branch and thus in upcoming 0.7.0 release, the view() and table() factory methods are async and will throw constructor errors when invoked within an async context. See #1289 for details.

This sounds great, thanks for the reply!
