JavaScript scope in a try block

Lots of other good answers about how Javascript handles this with var, but I thought I’d address the let situation…

If a variable is defined with let inside the try block, it will NOT be in scope inside the catch (or finally) block(s). It would need to be defined in the enclosing block.

For example, in the following code block, the console output will be “Outside”:

let xyz = "Outside";

try {
    let xyz = "Inside";

    throw new Error("Blah");
} catch (err) {
    console.log(xyz);
}
