AWS, JavaScript, React - Deploy Web Apps on the Cloud - Refactor the Fetch API Call

The video tutorial explains how to refactor a React application by moving fetch logic into a separate utility function. It covers creating a fetcher.js file, integrating it into the main app, and addressing asynchronous issues using async/await. Debugging techniques are demonstrated to resolve data fetching problems. The tutorial concludes with suggestions for further improvements, such as error handling and consistent fetch patterns.

What is the main reason for separating fetch logic into a utility function in React?

• To reduce the number of lines in app.js

• To make the code more modular and reusable

• To avoid using the Fetch API

• To increase the speed of data fetching

What is the purpose of creating a base URL constant in the fetch utility function?

• To make the URL more readable

• To avoid hardcoding the URL in multiple places

• To improve the security of the application

• To ensure the URL is always correct

Why was the data not displaying on the page even though the server request was successful?

• The server was down

• The data was not being fetched

• The fetch call was asynchronous and not awaited

• The URL was incorrect

What is the role of the async keyword in JavaScript?

• To make a function run faster

• To allow a function to return a promise

• To make a function synchronous

• To prevent errors in code

What must be done after declaring an async function to ensure it executes properly?

• Declare it again

• Call the function

• Log it to the console

• Use a debugger

What is a potential issue that could arise if the fetch utility function does not handle errors?

• The application will run faster

• The application might crash or behave unexpectedly

• The data will be fetched twice

• The server will not respond

What improvement is suggested for the fetch utility function in future videos?

• Changing the base URL

• Reducing the number of parameters

• Implementing error handling

• Adding more console logs
