How to fetch data in Deno ?

In this tutorial i want to show you how to data in Deno with typescript

Deno is a secure runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript. Deno is written in Rust. It builds on top of the Tokio platform and, like Node.js, executes JavaScript using the V8 engine.

To download Deno, follow the instructions on the Homepage. At this time of the post the last version of Deno is 1.0

By default, Deno is compatible with more Web APIs. you can show the list at the end of this post

I will use typescript in this tutorial but you can use Javascript, it will work.

1. Create a file called main.ts in the root directory of our code editor

2. in our main.ts file, we are going to create a async function that take an argument and call the fetch Web API to fetch external data.
   

const getUser = async (url: string): Promise<void> => {
  const data = await (await fetch(url)).json();
  console.log(data);
};

getUser("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users");

By default Deno is secure and it doesn't allow us to have acces of network, file system, etc...

To execute our file we are going to do this

deno run --allow-net main.ts

The --allow-net flag allow us to have an access for the network.
