API

checkStatus(reponse)

Make sure the response from the server is an OK one, throwing an error if it isn't. Usually chained right after the fetch request, eg:

fetch(/* ... */)
  .then(checkStatus)
  .then(response => {
  	// ...
  });

responseAsJson(response)

Assumes a JSON response and attempts to parse and return it as a JavaScript object. Usually chained right after the response is deemed OK, eg:

fetch(/* ... */)
  .then(checkStatus)
  .then(responseAsJson)
  .then(object => {
  	// ...
  });

responseAsText(response)

Process the response body as a string. Usually chained right after the response is deemed OK, eg:

fetch(/* ... */)
  .then(checkStatus)
  .then(responseAsText)
  .then(string => {
  	// ...
  });
