Logging Errors with unreachable code

[pfabbi]

So my Logging error works as expected, however with this line of code:

      throw new Error("Could not get the genres.")

the code down below it in my router.get function is “unreachable”. Is that expected?

Here’s my code:

  router.get("/", async (req, res) => {
     throw new Error("Could not get the genres.");
     const genres = await Genre.find().sort("name");
     res.send(genres);
 });
