Here's what I have going:
import 'whatwg-fetch';
function fetchVehicle(id) {
return dispatch => {
return dispatch({
type: 'FETCH_VEHICLE',
payload: fetch(`http://swapi.co/api/vehicles/${id}/`)
.then(status)
.then(res => res.json())
.catch(error => {
throw(error);
})
});
};
}
function status(res) {
if (!res.ok) {
return Promise.reject()
}
return res;
}
EDIT: The promise doesn't get rejected, that's what I'm trying to figure out.
I'm using this fetch polyfill in Redux with redux-promise-middleware.
Fetch promises only reject with a TypeError when a network error occurs. Since 4xx and 5xx responses aren't network errors, there's nothing to catch. You'll need to throw an error yourself to use Promise#catch.
A fetch Response conveniently supplies an ok , which tells you whether the request succeeded. Something like this should do the trick:
fetch(url).then((response) => {
if (response.ok) {
return response.json();
}
throw new Error('Something went wrong');
})
.then((responseJson) => {
// Do something with the response
})
.catch((error) => {
console.log(error)
});
The following login with username and password example shows how to:
Check response.ok
reject if not OK, instead of throw an error
Further process any error hints from server, e.g. validation issues
login() {
const url = "https://example.com/api/users/login";
const headers = {
Accept: "application/json",
"Content-Type": "application/json",
};
fetch(url, {
method: "POST",
headers,
body: JSON.stringify({
email: this.username,
password: this.password,
}),
})
.then((response) => {
// 1. check response.ok
if (response.ok) {
return response.json();
}
return Promise.reject(response); // 2. reject instead of throw
})
.then((json) => {
// all good, token is ready
this.store.commit("token", json.access_token);
})
.catch((response) => {
console.log(response.status, response.statusText);
// 3. get error messages, if any
response.json().then((json: any) => {
console.log(json);
})
});
},
Thanks for the help everyone, rejecting the promise in .catch() solved my issue:
export function fetchVehicle(id) {
return dispatch => {
return dispatch({
type: 'FETCH_VEHICLE',
payload: fetch(`http://swapi.co/api/vehicles/${id}/`)
.then(status)
.then(res => res.json())
.catch(error => {
return Promise.reject()
})
});
};
}
function status(res) {
if (!res.ok) {
throw new Error(res.statusText);
}
return res;
}
For me,
fny answers really got it all. since fetch is not throwing error, we need to throw/handle the error ourselves.
Posting my solution with async/await. I think it's more strait forward and readable
Solution 1: Not throwing an error, handle the error ourselves
async _fetch(request) {
const fetchResult = await fetch(request); //Making the req
const result = await fetchResult.json(); // parsing the response
if (fetchResult.ok) {
return result; // return success object
}
const responseError = {
type: 'Error',
message: result.message || 'Something went wrong',
data: result.data || '',
code: result.code || '',
};
const error = new Error();
error.info = responseError;
return (error);
}
Here if we getting an error, we are building an error object, plain JS object and returning it, the con is that we need to handle it outside.
How to use:
const userSaved = await apiCall(data); // calling fetch
if (userSaved instanceof Error) {
debug.log('Failed saving user', userSaved); // handle error
return;
}
debug.log('Success saving user', userSaved); // handle success
Solution 2: Throwing an error, using try/catch
async _fetch(request) {
const fetchResult = await fetch(request);
const result = await fetchResult.json();
if (fetchResult.ok) {
return result;
}
const responseError = {
type: 'Error',
message: result.message || 'Something went wrong',
data: result.data || '',
code: result.code || '',
};
let error = new Error();
error = { ...error, ...responseError };
throw (error);
}
Here we are throwing and error that we created, since Error ctor approve only string, Im creating the plain Error js object, and the use will be:
try {
const userSaved = await apiCall(data); // calling fetch
debug.log('Success saving user', userSaved); // handle success
} catch (e) {
debug.log('Failed saving user', userSaved); // handle error
}
Solution 3: Using customer error
async _fetch(request) {
const fetchResult = await fetch(request);
const result = await fetchResult.json();
if (fetchResult.ok) {
return result;
}
throw new ClassError(result.message, result.data, result.code);
}
And:
class ClassError extends Error {
constructor(message = 'Something went wrong', data = '', code = '') {
super();
this.message = message;
this.data = data;
this.code = code;
}
}
Hope it helped.
2021 TypeScript Answer
What I do is write a fetch wrapper that takes a generic and if the response is ok it will auto .json() and type assert the result, otherwise the wrapper throws the response
export const fetcher = async <T>(input: RequestInfo, init?: RequestInit) => {
const response = await fetch(input, init);
if (!response.ok) {
throw response;
}
return response.json() as Promise<T>;
};
and then I'll catch errors and check if they are an instanceof Response. That way TypeScript knows that error has Response properties such as status statusText body headers etc. and I can apply a custom message for each 4xx 5xx status code.
try {
return await fetcher<LoginResponse>("http://localhost:8080/login", {
method: "POST",
headers: {
Accept: "application/json",
"Content-Type": "application/json",
},
body: JSON.stringify({ email: "user#example.com", password: "passw0rd" }),
});
} catch (error) {
if (error instanceof Response) {
switch (error.status) {
case 401:
throw new Error("Invalid login credentials");
/* ... */
default:
throw new Error(`Unknown server error occured: ${error.statusText}`);
}
}
throw new Error(`Something went wrong: ${error.message || error}`);
}
and if something like a network error occurs it can be caught outside of the instanceof Response check with a more generic message i.e.
throw new Error(`Something went wrong: ${error.message || error}`);
The answer by #fny (the accepted answer) didn't work for me. The throw new Error() wasn't getting picked up by the .catch. My solution was to wrap the fetch with a function that builds a new promise:
function my_fetch(url, args) {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
fetch(url, args)
.then((response) => {
response.text().then((body) => {
if (response.ok) {
resolve(body)
} else {
reject(body)
}
})
})
.catch((error) => { reject(error) })
})
}
Now every error and non-ok return will be picked up by the .catch method:
my_fetch(url, args)
.then((response) => {
// Do something with the response
})
.catch((error) => {
// Do something with the error
})
function handleErrors(response) {
if (!response.ok) {
throw Error(response.statusText);
}
return response;
}
fetch("https://example.com/api/users")
.then(handleErrors)
.then(response => console.log("ok") )
.catch(error => console.log(error) );
I wasn't satisfied with any of the suggested solutions, so I played a bit with Fetch API to find a way to handle both success responses and error responses.
Plan was to get {status: XXX, message: 'a message'} format as a result in both cases.
Note: Success response can contain an empty body. In that case we fallback and use Response.status and Response.statusText to populate resulting response object.
fetch(url)
.then(handleResponse)
.then((responseJson) => {
// Do something with the response
})
.catch((error) => {
console.log(error)
});
export const handleResponse = (res) => {
if (!res.ok) {
return res
.text()
.then(result => JSON.parse(result))
.then(result => Promise.reject({ status: result.status, message: result.message }));
}
return res
.json()
.then(result => Promise.resolve(result))
.catch(() => Promise.resolve({ status: res.status, message: res.statusText }));
};
I just checked the status of the response object:
$promise.then( function successCallback(response) {
console.log(response);
if (response.status === 200) { ... }
});
Hope this helps for me throw Error is not working
function handleErrors(response) {
if (!response.ok) {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
setTimeout(() => {
reject({
status: response.status,
statusText: response.statusText,
});
}, 0);
});
}
return response.json();
}
function clickHandler(event) {
const textInput = input.value;
let output;
fetch(`${URL}${encodeURI(textInput)}`)
.then(handleErrors)
.then((json) => {
output = json.contents.translated;
console.log(output);
outputDiv.innerHTML = "<p>" + output + "</p>";
})
.catch((error) => alert(error.statusText));
}
Another (shorter) version that resonates with most answers:
fetch(url)
.then(response => response.ok ? response.json() : Promise.reject(response))
.then(json => doStuff(json)) //all good
//next line is optional
.catch(response => handleError(response)) //handle error
I have already define error initially, but now I don't know why show me error like this
fetch data from backend code:
auth.js file
import fetch from "isomorphic-fetch";
import { API } from "../config";
export const signup = (user) => {
return fetch(`${API}/signup`, {
method: "POST",
headers: {
Accept: "application/json",
"Content-Type": "application/json",
},
body: JSON.stringify(user),
})
.then((res) => {
return res.json();
})
.catch((err) => {
console.log(err);
});
};
I have link connection inside API I'm sure is it ok.
After that when i submit my signup from then show me error, signup handleSubmit code:
signupComponent.js file
const handleSubmit = (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
//console.table({ name, email, password, error, loading, message, showForm });
setValues({ ...values, loading: true, error: false });
const user = { name, email, password };
signup(user).then((data) => {
try {
if (data.error) {
setValues({ ...values, error: data.error, loading: false });
} else {
setValues({
...values,
name: "",
email: "",
password: "",
error: "",
loading: false,
message: data.message,
showForm: false,
});
}
} catch (err) {
console.log(err);
}
});
};
I'm sure my internet connection is ok.
I don't know where is problem.
Any suggestion please.
auth.js file updated:
Return the err from catch
import fetch from "isomorphic-fetch";
import { API } from "../config";
export const signup = (user) => {
return fetch(`${API}/signup`, {
method: "POST",
headers: {
Accept: "application/json",
"Content-Type": "application/json",
},
body: JSON.stringify(user),
})
.then((res) => {
return res.json();
})
.catch((err) => {
return err;
});
};
You have a chain of callbacks
fetch().then().catch()
in your .then() you return the data but in your .catch() you return nothing.
Therefore your outer chain will try to process undefined incase the fetching failed.
signup().then(
(data) => ... data.error // data is undefined
)
I have solve my problem by this way:
used try catch block for find problem
In the catch block used .catch((err) => { return err; });
And make sure API connected succesfully
After that run my backend server
Then run my frontend.
Here's what I have going:
import 'whatwg-fetch';
function fetchVehicle(id) {
return dispatch => {
return dispatch({
type: 'FETCH_VEHICLE',
payload: fetch(`http://swapi.co/api/vehicles/${id}/`)
.then(status)
.then(res => res.json())
.catch(error => {
throw(error);
})
});
};
}
function status(res) {
if (!res.ok) {
return Promise.reject()
}
return res;
}

I have a React component. Inside that component I have a function onFormSubmit that calls function from another component. This other function is making POST request with axios.
I would like to return if POST request is true a response into first function or error if not. What is happening now is that my 'SUCCESS RESPONSE' console.log is always triggered, even then there is an error in axios POST request. If there is an error then just 'ERROR RESPONSE' console.log should be triggered.
From first component
onFormSubmit = () => {
postJobDescriptionQuickApply(this.state, this.props.jobDescription.id)
.then((response) => {
console.log('SUCCESS RESPONSE', response)
})
.catch((error) => {
console.log('ERROR RESPONSE', error)
})
}
From second component
export const postJobDescriptionQuickApply = (easyApplyData, jobId) => apiUrl('easyApply', 'easyApply').then(url => axios
.post(url, {
applicant: {
email: easyApplyData.email,
fullName: `${easyApplyData.firstName} ${easyApplyData.lastName}`,
phoneNumber: easyApplyData.phoneNumber,
resume: easyApplyData.resume,
source: easyApplyData.source,
},
job: {
jobId,
},
})
.then((response) => {
console.log('SUCCESS', response.data.developerMessage)
return response.data.developerMessage
})
.catch((error) => {
// handle error
console.log('ERROR JOB DESCRIPTION', error.response.data.developerMessage)
return error.response.data.developerMessage
})
calling return indicates success, and the .catch function in the calling method wouldn't be triggered. Instead of returning error.response.data.developerMessage use throw instead. This will cause it to be thrown and then caught with the .catch method in the calling function.
Depending on the situation though, it's generally not advisable to catch and rethrow exceptions like that because you lose stack trace etc. You may be better off not catching the error in the lower method and just relying on the calling method to handle the error.
In the
.catch((error) => {
// handle error
console.log('ERROR JOB DESCRIPTION', error.response.data.developerMessage)
return error.response.data.developerMessage
})
replace return statement with throw error
Not use catch and catch on your second component.
To can use then and catch on your first component you need return axios, something as:
export const postJobDescriptionQuickApply = (easyApplyData, jobId, url) => axios
.post(url, {
applicant: {
email: easyApplyData.email,
...
},
job: {
jobId,
},
});
// or using apiUrl
export const postJobDescriptionQuickApply = (easyApplyData, jobId) => apiUrl('easyApply', 'easyApply')
.then(url => axios.post(url, {
applicant: {
email: easyApplyData.email,
fullName: `${easyApplyData.firstName} ${easyApplyData.lastName}`,
phoneNumber: easyApplyData.phoneNumber,
resume: easyApplyData.resume,
source: easyApplyData.source,
},
job: {
jobId,
},
});
Additionally, do not forget to validate the response status in the first component, something as:
onFormSubmit = () => {
postJobDescriptionQuickApply(this.state, this.props.jobDescription.id)
.then((response) => {
if (response.status === 200) {
console.log('SUCCESS RESPONSE', response);
}
})
.catch((error) => {
console.log('ERROR RESPONSE', error)
})
}
I hope, I could help you
is a bit of a situation
after simple login
i'v tried to properly handle the server error response but at first i thought it will be simple. i was wrong.
the press login function rely on the login function to pass the login status to check if the user is or not logged.
in a way the code works but it will be great if can get the server response and display.
i've tried to use catch or get a response from the login function. either way still not getting the responde. please someone could spare a hint related to this of problem?
login handler on login.jsx
pressLogin() {
return auth
.login(this.state.email, this.state.password)
.then(response => {
this.props.updateAuth();
let res = response.text();
if (response.login_status == false) {
let errors = res;
throw response.json();
//this.setState({ error: errors });
} else {
// console.log('asdasd')
// this.forceUpdate();
this.setState({ redirectToHome: true });
}
})
.catch(errors => {
return errors;
console.log("Error");
});
}
}
if i set a state in catch just setting a string works but it will be great if can get the server side errors
the login on auth.js
login(email, password) {
return fetch("/login", {
method: "POST",
headers: {
Accept: "application/json",
"Content-Type": "application/json"
},
body: JSON.stringify({
email: email,
password: password
})
})
.then(resp => {
if (resp.status >= 200 && resp.status < 300) {
return resp.text();
} else {
throw resp.json();
}
})
.then(response => {
if (!response.status) {
window.localStorage.setItem("auth_token", response);
return {
login_status: true
};
} else {
return {
login_status: false
};
}
})
.catch(error => {
console.log("Error" + error);
return {
login_status: false
};
});
},
