I dislike the chaining thens. The second then does not have access to status. As stated before 'response.json()' returns a promise. Returning the then result of 'response.json()' in a acts similar to a second then. It has the added bonus of being in scope of the response.
return fetch(url, params).then(response => {
return response.json().then(body => {
if (response.status === 200) {
return body
} else {
throw body
}
})
})
