I am writing a program that sends a get request to a Koa backend, and retrieves the result using Fetch. The backend looks like
const koa = require('koa');
const router = require('koa-router');
const cors = require('koa2-cors');
const app = new koa();
app.use(cors());
const _ = router();
const port = 3000;
_.get('/', async (ctx) => {
const result = "good morning";
console.log(result);
ctx.body = result;
});
app.use(_.routes());
app.listen(port, () => {
console.log(`Server listening on port`);
});
The frontend looks like
submitButton.addEventListener('click', async () => {
fetch(`http://localhost:3000/`)
.then(res => console.log(res));
});
I am sure that the backend is functional, as when I press the submit button, the backend console is able to print the result correctly. But my frontend console is not printing anything. I have tried using alert(res) too. What might be going wrong here? Thanks.
first you need to parse response so
submitButton.addEventListener('click', async () => {
fetch(`http://localhost:3000/`)
.then(res => res.json())
.then(data => console.log(data))
.catch(error => console.log(error));
});
