I am trying to send a DELETE request to my backend server, but I keep getting this response printed to my console:
Response {type: 'cors', url: 'http://localhost:3003/delete', redirected: false, status: 200, ok: true, …}
body: (...)
bodyUsed: false
headers: Headers {}
ok: true
redirected: false
status: 200
statusText: "OK"
type: "cors"
url: "http://localhost:3003/delete"
[[Prototype]]: Response
I don't know why this is happening.
server.js
const express = require('express')
const knex = require('knex')
const cors = require('cors')
const db = knex({
client: 'pg',
connection: {
host: '127.0.0.1',
user: 'postgres',
password: 'psql',
database: 'blogspot',
port: 5432
}
});
const app = express();
app.use(express.json())
app.use(cors())
// Delete Blog
app.delete('/delete', (req, res) => {
const {id} = req.body;
db.select('*').from('blogs')
.where({
id: id
})
.del()
.then(() => {
res.json('Deleted Successfully')
})
.catch(err => res.status(404).json('An error occured'))
})
fetchAPI.js
function deleteBlog (blog) {
fetch('http://localhost:3003/delete', {
method: 'DELETE',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
body: JSON.stringify(blog)
}).then(resp => {
console.log(resp)
if (resp === 'Deleted Successfully') {
navigate(0)
} else if (resp === 'An error occured') {
console.log('Something went wrong')
} else {
console.log('ERROR')
}
})
}
I keep getting 'ERROR' printed to my console along with the cors response I pasted above. When I refresh, I find that the blog has been deleted, but the response was definitely an error since navigate(0)
wasn't run and ERROR
was printed to my console. I have tried removing the 'Content-Type': 'application/json' header and sending the id as request params instead but I got the same error.
CodePudding user response:
The fact that the response is of type "cors" just means that some contents are filtered by CORS policy (see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Response/type) but you didn't get any error code, the statusCode is 200.
Since your response content type is JSON, you must also resolve the json parsing before reading the response:
function deleteBlog(blog) {
fetch('http://localhost:3003/delete', {
method: 'DELETE',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
body: JSON.stringify(blog)
})
.then(data => data.json())
.then(resp => {
// I also suppose that you will more likely find
// your "Deleted successfully" in the resp.body property, so :
if (resp.body === 'Deleted Successfully') {
navigate(0)
} else if (resp.body === 'An error occured') {
console.log('Something went wrong')
} else {
console.log('ERROR')
}
})
}
