Please fix

also why are you throwing errors instead of sending them back with Promise.reject?

Basically because you are throwing errors and not wrapping JSON.parse in a try/catch block - I had to dig deep to find out that my 404 response could not use res.json()
in this example:
fetch(apiUri + path, {
method: 'GET',
headers: that.headers
})
.then((res) => res.json())
.then((res) => {
if (res && res.error)
return fn(res.error);
fn(null, res);
})
.catch(fn)
The error is thrown that it can't parse JSON (the body is text response)
The reason I have to use fetch
polyfill is because superagent
doesn't work (because it's trying to run in a node runtime environment and not a browser environment or something). This is broken and we can't even hook in a simple API into react-native...
if an error is thrown inside the .then
callback, isn't it supposed to be propagated to the .catch
callback?
