POST Request with Fetch API?

Question

I know that with the new Fetch API (used here with ES2017\'s async/await) you can make a GET request like this:

async getData() {

Here is a solution for a POST request using node-fetch, with async/await.

async function post(data) {
    try {
        // Create request to api service
        const req = await fetch('http://127.0.0.1/api', {
            method: 'POST',
            headers: { 'Content-Type':'application/json' },
            
            // format the data
            body: JSON.stringify({
                id: data.id,
                foo: data.foo,
                bar: data.bar
            }),
        });
        
        const res = await req.json();

        // Log success message
        console.log(res);                
    } catch(err) {
        console.error(`ERROR: ${err}`);
    }
}

// Call your function
post() // with your parameter of Course
