The Fetch API interface allows web browser to make HTTP requests to web servers. 😀 No need for XMLHttpRequest anymore.
The Fetch API interface allows web browser to make HTTP requests to web servers.
😀 No need for XMLHttpRequest anymore.
The numbers in the table specify the first browser versions that fully support Fetch API:
The example below fetches a file and displays the content:
fetch(file) .then(x => x.text()) .then(y => myDisplay(y))
Since Fetch is based on async and await, the example above might be easier to understand like this:
async function getText(file) { let x = await fetch(file); let y = await x.text(); myDisplay(y); }
Or even bettter: Use understandable names instead of x and y:
async function getText(file) { let myObject = await fetch(file); let myText = await myObject.text(); myDisplay(myText); }
