Discussion on: Beginners Guide To Fetching Data With (AJAX, Fetch API & Async/Await)

[Itachi Uchiha]

Is there a way extract data from promise? For example, I don't want to use like this:

blah().then()

[/[Abejide Femi Jr]\s/]

don't know of any, apart from .then(), and .catch() -> for errors.

[Maccabee]

You can await Promises.

const data = await blah();

That's how async/await compile with babel, into Promises.

Ah much better xD

Thanks a lot. It worked :) Why I didn't try that. I think I was confused.

[Pierre Joubert]

Do you not like the syntax? Or do you not want to deal with promises?

[Itachi Uchiha]

I just wonder about assign result to a variable. I don't wan't to use then all time. For example:

const myResults = fetch('site.com')
   .then(resp => resp.json())
   .then(obj => obj)

console.log(myResults)
// { name: 'John', surname: 'Doe' }

I just did this and it seemed to work:

var foo = null;
fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1')
   .then(resp => resp.json())
   .then(obj => foo = obj)

Then foo is accessible object like: foo.title
"sunt aut facere repellat provident occaecati excepturi optio reprehenderit"

Thanks a lot. That's exactly what I want.
