I really liked @tjvantoll article Handling Failed HTTP Responses With fetch(). The one thing I found annoying with it, though, is that response.statusText always returns the generic error message associated with the error code. Most APIs, however, will generally return some kind of useful, more human friendly message in the body.

Here's a modification that will capture this message. The key is that rather than throwing an error, you just throw the response and then process it in the catch block to extract the message in the body:

fetch("/api/foo")
  .then( response => {
    if (!response.ok) { throw response }
    return response.json()  //we only get here if there is no error
 })

How do you POST a JSON file with curl??

You can post a json file with curl like so:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @FILENAME DESTINATION

so for example:

gnarf

Install

Either copy the aliases from the .gitconfig or run the commands in add-pr-alias.sh

Usage

Easily checkout local copies of pull requests from remotes:

• git pr 4 - creates local branch pr/4 from the github upstream(if it exists) or origin remote and checks it out
• git pr 4 someremote - creates local branch pr/4 from someremote remote and checks it out
