Fetch to var

#javascript #webdev #node

In this huge world of JSON APIs, fetch is the most common implementation for receiving an HTTP response from an API. However, it's a lot more difficult for newbies to get the fetch data into a variable. Here it is:

const fetch = require("node-fetch") // A function to get data from a URL async function getData(url) { const x = await fetch(url) // We wait for the data to arrive return await x.json() // We wait for the data to convert to JSON } // We wait for the data to arrive const data = await getData("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1") // We log/print the arrived JSON data console.log(data)
