Fetch 5 8th

broken image


JavaScript can send network requests to the server and load new information whenever it's needed.

For example, we can use a network request to:

  • Submit an order,
  • Load user information,
  • Receive latest updates from the server,
  • …etc.

Fetch: This option instructs your device to check for messages at set intervals, such as every 15, 30, or 60 minutes. Thus, your iOS devices aren't constantly consuming the battery to maintain the Internet connection and receive data that's being pushed from iCloud. The answer is there, git is telling you to fetch first. Probably somebody else has pushed to master already, and your commit is behind. Therefore you have to fetch, merge the changeset, and then you'll be able to push again. If you don't (or even worse, if you force it by using the -force option), you can mess up the commit history.

…And all of that without reloading the page!

This kind of functionality was previously achieved using XMLHttpRequest. Fetch provides a better alternative that can be easily used by other technologies such as Service Workers. Fetch also provides a single logical place to define other HTTP-related concepts such as CORS and extensions to HTTP.

Fetch 5 8th Edition

  1. The Fetch API provides a JavaScript interface for accessing and manipulating parts of the HTTP pipeline, such as requests and responses. It also provides a global fetch method that provides an easy, logical way to fetch resources asynchronously across the network.
  2. Is there a way we can fetch first 10 results from a list. Something like this maybe: list = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20 list.fetch(10).

There's an umbrella term 'AJAX' (abbreviated Asynchronous JavaScript And XML) for network requests from JavaScript. We don't have to use XML though: the term comes from old times, that's why that word is there. You may have heard that term already.

There are multiple ways to send a network request and get information from the server.

The fetch() method is modern and versatile, so we'll start with it. It's not supported by old browsers (can be polyfilled), but very well supported among the modern ones.

The basic syntax is:

  • url – the URL to access.
  • options – optional parameters: method, headers etc.

Without options, this is a simple GET request, downloading the contents of the url.

The browser starts the request right away and returns a promise that the calling code should use to get the result.

Fetch 5 8th street

Getting a response is usually a two-stage process.

First, the promise, returned by fetch, resolves with an object of the built-in Response class as soon as the server responds with headers.

At this stage we can check HTTP status, to see whether it is successful or not, check headers, but don't have the body yet.

The promise rejects if the fetch was unable to make HTTP-request, e.g. network problems, or there's no such site. Abnormal HTTP-statuses, such as 404 or 500 do not cause an error.

We can see HTTP-status in response properties:

  • status – HTTP status code, e.g. 200.
  • ok – boolean, true if the HTTP status code is 200-299.

For example:

Second, to get the response body, we need to use an additional method call.

Response provides multiple promise-based methods to access the body in various formats:

  • response.text() – read the response and return as text,
  • response.json() – parse the response as JSON,
  • response.formData() – return the response as FormData object (explained in the next chapter),
  • response.blob() – return the response as Blob (binary data with type),
  • response.arrayBuffer() – return the response as ArrayBuffer (low-level representation of binary data),
  • additionally, response.body is a ReadableStream object, it allows you to read the body chunk-by-chunk, we'll see an example later.

Wso2 developer studio. For instance, let's get a JSON-object with latest commits from GitHub:

Or, the same without await, using pure promises syntax:

To get the response text, await response.text() instead of .json():

As a show-case for reading in binary format, let's fetch and show a logo image of 'fetch' specification (see chapter Blob for details about operations on Blob):

We can choose only one body-reading method.

If we've already got the response with response.text(), then response.json() won't work, as the body content has already been processed.

Response headers

The response headers are available in a Map-like headers object in response.headers.

It's not exactly a Map, but it has similar methods to get individual headers by name or iterate over them:

Request headers

To set a request header in fetch, we can use the headers option. It has an object with outgoing headers, like this:

…But there's a list of forbidden HTTP headers that we can't set:

  • Accept-Charset, Accept-Encoding
  • Access-Control-Request-Headers
  • Access-Control-Request-Method
  • Connection
  • Content-Length
  • Cookie, Cookie2
  • Date
  • DNT
  • Expect
  • Host
  • Keep-Alive
  • Origin
  • Referer
  • TE
  • Trailer
  • Transfer-Encoding
  • Upgrade
  • Via
  • Proxy-*
  • Sec-*

These headers ensure proper and safe HTTP, so they are controlled exclusively by the browser.

POST requests

To make a POST request, or a request with another method, we need to use fetch options:

  • method – HTTP-method, e.g. POST,
  • body – the request body, one of:
    • a string (e.g. JSON-encoded),
    • FormData object, to submit the data as form/multipart,
    • Blob/BufferSource to send binary data,
    • URLSearchParams, to submit the data in x-www-form-urlencoded encoding, rarely used.

The JSON format is used most of the time.

For example, this code submits user object as JSON:

The JSON format is used most of the time.

For example, this code submits user object as JSON:

Please note, if the request body is a string, then Content-Type header is set to text/plain;charset=UTF-8 by default.

But, as we're going to send JSON, we use headers option to send application/json instead, the correct Content-Type for JSON-encoded data.

Sending an image

We can also submit binary data with fetch using Blob or BufferSource objects. Sound control 2 4 1.

In this example, there's a where we can draw by moving a mouse over it. A click on the 'submit' button sends the image to the server:

Please note, here we don't set Content-Type header manually, because a Blob object has a built-in type (here image/png, as generated by toBlob). For Blob objects that type becomes the value of Content-Type.

The submit() function can be rewritten without async/await like this:

Summary

A typical fetch request consists of two await calls:

Fetch Softworks

Or, without await:

Response properties:

  • response.status – HTTP code of the response,
  • response.oktrue is the status is 200-299.
  • response.headers – Map-like object with HTTP headers.

Methods to get response body:

  • response.text() – return the response as text,
  • response.json() – parse the response as JSON object,
  • response.formData() – return the response as FormData object (form/multipart encoding, see the next chapter),
  • response.blob() – return the response as Blob (binary data with type),
  • response.arrayBuffer() – return the response as ArrayBuffer (low-level binary data),

Fetch options so far: Maccleanse 8 0 1.

  • method – HTTP-method,
  • headers – an object with request headers (not any header is allowed),
  • body – the data to send (request body) as string, FormData, BufferSource, Blob or UrlSearchParams object.

In the next chapters we'll see more options and use cases of fetch.
