I learnt about hoisting in JavaScript , and wanted to experiment the kind of errors i could get , and to catch them. However i can't figure out how to catch this precise error:

SyntaxError : Missing initializer in const declaration.

Here is the piece of code:

try {
    g = 'Hello !';
    console.log(g);
    const g;
  } catch(err) {
    console.log('You got an error '+err);
  }
  console.log('rest of the code.')

I tested this try-catch with other exceptions, and everything seemed to work correctly. So I thought the problem was about hoisting and maybe variables were read right at the start of the block hence were not caught.

I tried to encapsulate the whole code in a try-catch but without any conclusive results. Here is my code encapsulated:

function hoisting() {
  try {
    g = 'Hello !';
    console.log(g);
    const g;
  } catch(err) {
    console.log('You got an error '+err);
  }
  console.log('rest of the code.');
}

function main() {
  try {
  hoisting();
  } catch(err) {
    console.log(err);
  }
}

main();
