FETCH API returning [object Object]

rated 0 times [ 48] [ 4] / answers: 1 / hits: 27667 / 9 Years ago, wed, may 6, 2015, 12:00:00

I am using FETCH API to get a value stored in a json file. That value has to go into a variable.

The problem is - the variable ends up holding [object Object] as value.

var title = fetch('URL/out.json', {mode: 'cors'});

In the htaccess of the server hosting the json file, there is the line

  Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin *

The json is as follows

 {

   lollol

}

I think the json might be the culprit.

I cannot find the reason for [object Object] to be the variable value.

Can I use Fetch to get a hosted text file? I tried - couldn't get it work. - just thinking of an alternative.

Try using .then() as described here:

fetch('URL/out.json', {mode: 'cors'}).then(function(response) {

    return response.blob();

}).then(function(response) {

    // process response

});
