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)
});
