I'm trying to use ES7 async / await together with fetch. I know I'm close but I can't get it to work. Here is the code:
class Bar {
async load() {
let url = 'https://finance.yahoo.com/webservice/v1/symbols/goog/quote?format=json';
try {
response = await fetch(url);
return response.responseText;
} catch (e) {
return e.message;
}
}
}
which I use as follows:
let bar = new Bar();
bar.load().then(function (val) {
console.log(val);
});
For some reason I always get into the catch with the message
response is not defined
Any suggestions what I do wrong ?
UPDATE: As suggested in the comments, it might be an issue with fetch, so I tried a simplified (ES5) version:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<script>
var url = 'https://finance.yahoo.com/webservice/v1/symbols/goog/quote?format=json';
fetch(url, {method: 'get', mode: 'cors'}).then(function (response) {
console.log(response.responseText);
});
</script>
<head>
<body></body>
<html>
And still doesn't work :( However, if I replace fetch it works:
var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
request.open("GET", url, false);
request.send(null);
console.log(request.responseText);
