So I moved over a non-reusable fetch request code snippet to my API:
let response = await fetch(visitURL, {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + userJWT
},
body: JSON.stringify(endingVisit)
});
if (response.ok) {
let {visitId, createdAt} = await response.json();
const viewVisitDto = new ViewVisitDto(`${visitId}${createdAt}${visitorId}${doctorId}${oldPatientId}`);
return viewVisitDto;
} else {
throw new Error("deactivated!")
}
I was able to get this far:
axios.post(visitURL, {
headers,
body: JSON.stringify(visit)
}).then((response) => {
console.log(response);
}).catch((error) => {
console.log(error);
})
But does not exactly give me the visitId and createdAt from the response and I cannot use a response.ok nor a response.json(). Essentially I need to pull out that visitId and createdAt that should be coming back in the response.
I also tried just using node-fetch library, but although in VS code it seems to accept it, TypeScript is not happy with it even when I do install @types/node-fetch and even when I create a type definition file for it, my API just doesn't like it.
Guessing what you are after is
// don't know axios, but if it returns a promise await it
const dto = await axios.post(visitURL, {
headers,
body: JSON.stringify(visit)
}).then((response) => {
// parse response
return {resonse.visitId, resonse.createdAt}
}).then(({visitId, createdAt}) => {
// form dto (where are other vals)?
return new ViewVisitDto(`${visitId}${createdAt}${visitorId}${doctorId}${oldPatientId}`);
}).catch((error) => {
console.log(error);
})
However - you don't mention where doctorId and oldPatientId come from... You try providing more info, including output of the console.log's and the surrounding code
