Using the fetch api

Hey there!

Regarding your question about whether the code is optimal, I'd suggest using an async function with try and catch instead of fetch().then().catch(). Here's why it's more beneficial:

• Code Readability: The async/await approach enhances code readability and simplifies the flow. It eliminates the need for multiple .then() statements, resulting in cleaner and more concise code.

• Error Handling: Using try and catch allows you to catch and handle errors within the same block where you perform the asynchronous operation. This leads to cleaner and organized error handling.

• Error Propagation: Async functions with try and catch offer flexibility in catching and handling errors at different levels, enabling better error propagation and granular error handling.

Here's an example of how the code could be written using an async function:

async function fetchData() {
try {
const response = await fetch(url);
if (!response.ok) {
throw new Error('Request failed');
}
const data = await response.json();
// Process the data here
return data;
} catch (error) {
// Handle any errors here
console.error('An error occurred:', error);
throw error; // Optionally, re-throw the error
}
}

// Call the async function
fetchData()
.then(data => {
// Handle the data here
})
.catch(error => {
// Handle any errors here
});

I hope this explanation clarifies the benefits of using async functions with try and catch for your code.
