Unable to get response using fetch in React - reactjs

Question

I am trying to call 3rd party API, to fetch some data. I am getting the response in Postman, but not getting expected response when I execute my code.
I tried in 2 ways. Both ways I am getting "Promise pending".What could be the reason??
//request.js
Method 1
export const callSearchGiftsAPI = inputs => dispatch => {
dispatch(searchGifts());
let url = new URL(GIFT_SEARCH_API_URL),
params = {
apiKey: GIFT_SEARCH_API_KEY,
query: inputs.item,
country: 'us',
itemsPerPage: 3
};
Object.keys(params).forEach(key => url.searchParams.append(key, params[key]));
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
setTimeout(() => resolve(
fetch(url, {
method: 'GET',
// mode: 'no-cors',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
Authorization: `secret ${SECRET}`
}
})
.then(res => {
if (!res.ok) {
return Promise.reject(res.statusText);
}
console.log("hi", res.json());
return res.json();
})
.then(gifts => dispatch(searchGiftsSuccess(gifts)))
.catch(err => dispatch(searchGiftsError(err)))), 500)
});
}
Method 2:
export const callSearchGiftsAPI = inputs => dispatch => {
dispatch(searchGifts());
let url = new URL(GIFT_SEARCH_API_URL),
params = {
apiKey: GIFT_SEARCH_API_KEY,
query: inputs.item,
country: 'us',
itemsPerPage: 3
};
Object.keys(params).forEach(key => url.searchParams.append(key, params[key]));
fetch(url, {
method: 'GET',
// mode: 'no-cors',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
Authorization: `secret ${SECRET}`
}
})
.then(res => {
if (!res.ok) {
return Promise.reject(res.statusText);
}
console.log('result', res.json());
return res.json();
})
.then(gifts => dispatch(searchGiftsSuccess(gifts)))
.catch(err => dispatch(searchGiftsError(err)));
};
//form.js
class Form extend React.Component{
onSubmit(values) {
const inputs = Object.assign({}, values);
return this.props.dispatch(callSearchGiftsAPI(inputs));
}
//Remaining code
}
Also please note that I have installed CORS plugin in Chrome, to allow the request.If I disable it and add mode:'no-cors' I am getting as 401 unauthorized.What else am I supposed to do?

Answer 1

What happens is that you are creating a new Promise and returning it, but you are not waiting for it to resolve. You can either use then of the new async/await syntax to get the correct result :
onSubmit = async values => {
const inputs = Object.assign({}, values);
return await this.props.dispatch(callSearchGiftsAPI(inputs));
}
The code above will work with your first method.
Since your second method does not return anything, you will never get your result, you need to return your fetch's result and apply the code I gave above :
return fetch(url, {

Answer 2

This worked.
I was trying to put console.log in the wrong place and hence was not able to see the response properly.
export const callSearchGiftsAPI = inputs => dispatch => {
dispatch(searchGifts());
let url = new URL(GIFT_SEARCH_API_URL),
params = {
apiKey: GIFT_SEARCH_API_KEY,
query: inputs.item,
country: 'us',
itemsPerPage: 3
};
Object.keys(params).forEach(key => url.searchParams.append(key, params[key]));
console.log(url);
return fetch(url, {
method: 'GET',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
Authorization: `secret ${SECRET}`
}
})
.then(res => {
console.log('result');
return res.json();
})
.then(response => {
console.log(response); // changed
dispatch(searchGiftsSuccess(response.items));
})
.catch(err => dispatch(searchGiftsError(err)));
