Fetch and HTTP Requests
When using the fetch
function to make HTTP requests in JavaScript, it is important to handle errors properly to ensure that your application doesn't break. Here are a few ways you can handle errors when using fetch
:
Check the HTTP status code: You can check the status code of the
Response
object to see if the request was successful or not. For example, you can check if the status code is200 OK
or if it is in the4xx
or5xx
range to indicate an error.Use the
ok
property: TheResponse
object has anok
property that istrue
if the status code is in the200
range, andfalse
otherwise. You can use this property to check if the request was successful or not.Use
try
andcatch
: You can use atry
block to wrap yourfetch
call, and acatch
block to handle any errors that occur. For example:
4. Check the networkError
property: If you are using the react-fetch
library, you can check the networkError
property of the response
object to see if there was a network error.
