Fetch API error handling

Question

I want to display error message from my API, problem is that I can\'t reach that error if I check for response.ok, it returns Fetch error, not the one from API..

Answer 1

With the following solution one can handle JSON API error, Generic API error and Generic fetch error

fetch("api/v1/demo", {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
        "data": "demo"
    })
})
    .then(response => {
        if (!response.ok) {
            return Promise.reject(response);
        }
        return response.json();
    })
    .then(data => {
        console.log("Success");
        console.log(data);
    })
    .catch(error => {
        if (typeof error.json === "function") {
            error.json().then(jsonError => {
                console.log("Json error from API");
                console.log(jsonError);
            }).catch(genericError => {
                console.log("Generic error from API");
                console.log(error.statusText);
            });
        } else {
            console.log("Fetch error");
            console.log(error);
        }
    });
