POST Request with Fetch API?
if you want to make a simple post request without sending data as JSON.
fetch("/url-to-post",
{
method: "POST",
// whatever data you want to post with a key-value pair
body: "name=manas&age=20",
headers:
{
"Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
}
}).then((response) =>
{
// do something awesome that makes the world a better place
});
Long story short, Fetch also allows you to pass an object for a more personalized request:
fetch("http://example.com/api/endpoint/", {
method: "post",
headers: {
'Accept': 'application/json',
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
//make sure to serialize your JSON body
body: JSON.stringify({
name: myName,
password: myPassword
})
})
.then( (response) => {
//do something awesome that makes the world a better place
});

Please note that since you're doing an async try/catch pattern, you'll just omit the then()
function in my example ;)
