Fetch JSON

Send a GET request and read in JSON from the response. Use to fetch external data.

export default {
async fetch(request, env, ctx) {
const url = "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1";
// gatherResponse returns both content-type & response body as a string
async function gatherResponse(response) {
const { headers } = response;
const contentType = headers.get("content-type") || "";
if (contentType.includes("application/json")) {
return { contentType, result: JSON.stringify(await response.json()) };
}
return { contentType, result: response.text() };
}
const response = await fetch(url);
const { contentType, result } = await gatherResponse(response);
const options = { headers: { "content-type": contentType } };
return new Response(result, options);
},
};
