get vs fetch javascript code example
Example 1: fetch api javascript
// This will fetch api.example.com/comments with a header and a body
fetch(`https://api.example.com/comments`, {
method: 'POST', //This could be any http method
headers: {
'Authorization': 'Basic SGVsbG8gdGhlcmUgOikgSGF2ZSBhIGdvb2QgZGF5IQ==',
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
},
body: JSON.stringify({
UID: 58,
Comment: "Fetch is really easy!",
}),
})
.then((response) => response.json)
.then((newComment) => {
// Do something magical with your newly posted comment :)
});
Example 2: fetch api
// Fetch and Async/Await
const url = 'http://dummy.restapiexample.com/api/v1/employees';
const fetchUsers = async () => {
try {
const res = await fetch(url);
// check for 404 error
if (!res.ok) {
throw new Error(res.status);
}
const data = await res.json();
console.log(data);
}
// catch block for network errors
catch (error) {
console.log(error);
}
}
fetchUsers( );
