How to get full response instead of just body using await in reactJS

Question

I'm using the request-promise-native library, and I'm trying to get the full response from a request instead of just body because there is something in the response header I need to log. I know usually to accomplish that task you would do something like so:

request.post(opts).then(function (response) { //response }).catch(function (err) { // error })

but I'm using Async/await, so my code looks something like this: const data = await request.post(opts), however, this will only return the body of the response I want access to the header as well, how would I go about doing that?

You can use fetch :

 const response = await fetch(URL, {
                                   method: 'POST',
                                   headers: {
                                             'Accept': 'application/json',
                                             'Content-Type': 'application/json',
                                            }
                             })

And then :

const fromHeader = JSON.parse(response.headers.get('header-name'))

where do I import fetch from? also, is there no way to do it with request.post? – Broulaye Doumbia Aug 29 '18 at 15:10
Maybe there is, not that I'm aware of.. I'm normally using fetch. You don't need to import it from anywhere . – sagi Aug 29 '18 at 15:12
so if i'm guessing to get the body from that i'll just do JSON.parse(response.body) – Broulaye Doumbia Aug 29 '18 at 15:20
To get the body you need to use `await response.json()` @BroulayeDoumbia – sagi Aug 29 '18 at 15:22
I see, I'll try that and see – Broulaye Doumbia Aug 29 '18 at 15:24
`fetch` worked kinda, but I had to change a lot of my code to accommodate that, I just added `resolveWithFullResponse: true` option to request and it fixed my issue. thx for the help tho. – Broulaye Doumbia Aug 29 '18 at 17:39

I used the resolveWithFullResponse option with Request and that solved the issue. e.g resolveWithFullResponse: true
