The Fetch API is finally stable in Node.js

NodeJs Admin 12-02-2025

Explanation:

The Fetch API is provided as a high-level function, which means you don’t have to do any import/require before using it in your Node.js applications. In its most basic version, it takes a URL, sends a GET request to that URL (if the request method is not defined), and produces a promise that resolves the response. Here’s an example below:


Code:

fetch("http://example.com/api/endpoint", {
  method: "POST", // Specify request method
  headers: {
    // Customize request header here
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    // . . .
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    foo: "bar",
    bar: "foo",
  }),
  // . . .
})
  .then((res) => res.json())
  .then((data) => {
    console.log("Response data:", data);
  })
  .catch((err) => {
    console.log("Unable to fetch -", err);
  });

Node.js is my favorite! It's amazing, and I'm really enjoying working with Node.js, Express.js, and MongoDB.
