Using try/catch during validatation

[dtrinh100]

I am having some issues using the try/catch block in my async validation function. Everything is fine until it reaches the catch block. I was expecting the error field to be populated with the e string, but no error gets populated once the catch block is reached. What can I do to display the error when it reaches the catch block?

I have a schema setup that looks like this:

const formSchema = {
    async key(value: string) {
      if (!value) {
        return "A valid key is required.";
      }

      try {
        const result = await validateKey(value);

        // some code here
      } catch (e) {
        // e is the error for internal server errors
       console.log(e) // error gets printed to console as expected
        return e; // this line doesn't return the string that I expected, why?
      }

      return true;
    },
  };

Can you create a minimal example for this? you can use either codesandbox or stackblitz
