Escape multiple nested functions in NodeJS

Question

I have code in Javascript that looks like this:

function someFunction() {
    // Code
    somePromise().catch(err => {
        console.log(err);
    });
    // Mode Code
}

I would like to escape both somePromise().catch and someFunction() in the event that somePromise() is rejected. I tried using return but that only allows me to escape somePromise().catch. Is there any function that would allow me to break out of nested loops?

You can do that by using async/await:

function async someFunction() {
    // Code
    try {
        await somePromise();
    } catch (err) {
        console.log(err);
        return; // aborts further execution
    }
    // More Code
}

See async function for details.
