📘 JavaScript Beginner Course · Lesson 8 of 8

“`javascript
async function main() {
try {
const res = await fetch(“https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users?_limit=3”);
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(“HTTP ” + res.status);
const users = await res.json();
users.forEach(u => console.log(u.id, u.name, u.address.city));
} catch (e) {
console.log(“Could not fetch:”, e.message);
}
}
main();
“`

• fetch returns a promise; await waits for it inside an async function.
• Check res.ok: a 404 or 500 doesn’t throw by itself.
• res.json() parses the body.

That’s the JavaScript course.

Practice

Run the script with internet on, then off, to see the error handling.
