VSCode Javascript error for string out of bounds

I have the following code:



let strA = "0124356789";

let strB = strA.substr(8,3);

console.log(strB);


(I know substr is discouraged, however this is legacy code I need to work with)



Right now VS Code will not complain and will just return strB = 89. I want to get a warning at least that I've tried to reach more chars than there's in strA.



I guess I could write tests that would assert that the length is what is supposed to be, however I'm looking for a simpler solution.

  • I think writing your own assertion would be the way to go.
