Response: statusText property
Baseline Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since March 2017.
Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.
The statusText
read-only property of the Response
interface contains the status message corresponding to the HTTP status code in Response.status
.
For example, this would be OK
for a status code 200
, Continue
for 100
, Not Found
for 404
.
Value
A String
containing the HTTP status message associated with the response.
The default value is "".
See HTTP response status codes for a list of codes and their associated status messages. Note that HTTP/2 does not support status messages.
Examples
In our Fetch Response example (see Fetch Response live) we create a new Request
object using the Request()
constructor, passing it a JPG path.
We then fetch this request using fetch()
, extract a blob from the response using Response.blob
, create an object URL out of it using URL.createObjectURL()
, and display this in an <img>
.
Note that at the top of the fetch()
block we log the response statusText
value to the console.
const myImage = document.querySelector("img");
const myRequest = new Request("flowers.jpg");
fetch(myRequest)
.then((response) => {
console.log("response.statusText =", response.statusText); // response.statusText = "OK"
return response.blob();
})
.then((myBlob) => {
const objectURL = URL.createObjectURL(myBlob);
myImage.src = objectURL;
});
