The Fetch API interface allows web browser to make HTTP requests to web servers
The numbers in the table specify the first browser versions that fully support Fetch API:
| Chrome 42 | Edge 14 | Firefox 40 | Safari 10.1 | Opera 29 |
| Apr 2015 | Aug 2016 | Aug 2015 | Mar 2017 | Apr 2015 |
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 better: Use understandable names instead of x and y:
async function getText(file) {
let myObject = await fetch(file);
let myText = await myObject.text();
myDisplay(myText);
}
