js catch fetch error 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))
    })
  })

Example 2: how to handle fetch errors

function CheckError(response) {
  if (response.status >= 200 && response.status <= 299) {
    return response.json();
  } else {
    throw Error(response.statusText);
  }
}

// Now call the function inside fetch promise resolver
fetch(url)
  .then(CheckError)
  .then((jsonResponse) => {
  }).catch((error) => {
  });
