catch error while fetch api code example

Example 1: try catch fetch

fetch("/api/foo")
  .then( response => {
    if (!response.ok) { throw response }
    return response.json()  //we only get here if there is no error
  })
  .then( json => {
    this.props.dispatch(doSomethingWithResult(json)) 
  })
  .catch( err => {
    err.text().then( errorMessage => {
      this.props.dispatch(displayTheError(errorMessage))
    })
  })

const response = await fetch(url);
if (response.status >= 200 && response.status <= 299) {
  const jsonResponse = await response.json();
  console.log(jsonResponse);
} else {
  // Handle errors
  console.log(response.status, response.statusText);
}
