The throw error method error is nonfunctional for Postman

While using

throw new Error("message") //This code below is being shadowed and it gives me a message saying (Remove unreachable code)

const quote = await records.createQuote({ quote: req.body.quote, author: req.body.author }) res.json(quote)

}catch(err){ res.json({message: err.message})

}

})
