// `value` is still `unicorn`
});
const pTap = require('p-tap');
getUser()
.then(pTap(user => recordStatsAsync(user))) // Stats are saved about `user` async before the chain continues
.then(user => {
// `user` is the user from getUser(), not recordStatsAsync()
});
const pTap = require('p-tap');
Promise.resolve(() => doSomething())
.catch(pTap.catch(console.error)) // prints any errors
.then(handleSuccess)
.catch(handleError);
