🚀 Feature: A Way to Check if the Error is Appwrite Exception

[thevinitgupta]

🔖 Feature description

Just like Firebase provides the functionality to check if the error comes from Firebase side, Appwrite should have a method or function to check if the error in the catch block is an AppwriteException.

🎤 Pitch

A response from Appwrite has a name property that specifies : AppwriteException but a direct checker would be nice to have. It would enhance the Developer Experience

Use the built in javascript function err instanceof AppwriteException

Can't we manually do that?

try {
    // appwrite operation
} catch (exception: AppwriteException) {
    // appwrite exception, do what you want here 
} catch (exception: Exception) {
    // other generic exceptions
}

Since this exception is occuring on the Appwrite cloud, there is no way to know if the exception is an Appwrite exception since we only receive a JSON object with the error and status codes.
