Hi
Have you ever wondered how would you get Http Error Response out of the Js.Exn.t. Js.Exn.t is intentionally opaque. We need to cast to the appropriate object type. In this particular case we are trying to get Http Error response
module Response = {
type t = {
status: int
}
}
@get external getResponse: Js.Exn.t => option<Response.t> = "response"
let handleError = (error: Js.Exn.t) => {
let response = getResponse(error)
switch response {
| Some(response) => Js.log2("response status", response.status)
| None => Js.log2("no response available")
}
}
exception MyError(string)
// Now assume that we are trying to fetch
open Promise
fetch("")
->then(todos => resolve(todos))
->catch(error => {
handleError(error)
let err = switch e {
| MyError(str) => "found MyError: " ++ str
| _ => "Some unknown error"
}
// Here we are using the same type (`t<result>`) as in the previous `then` call
Error(err)->resolve
})
Hope you found it useful.
