make async call using native JS in GWT app

Question

I have a GWT app in which I have to include an JS function. So I am using the native interface to use the JS function in my JAVA code.

This is my JS function

function fetchToken() {
  return fetch(URL, { method: "POST" })
    .then(function(response) {
      console.log(response.json());
      return response.json();
    })
    .then(function(data) {
      return data.secret;
    });
  }  

But the problem with this is when I receive the Promise response via response.json(), it is still in pending state, so it never goes to line 6. I tried using async but it seems like GWT does not support using async/await.

Is there a way I can use async in GWT or any other way to use JS in GWT other than native interface in which I do not face this issue?

Answer 1

I got my mistake, I used response.json() twice in my code, once to log and once to return. I realised I can only use it once in my code. Removing the log fixed my code.

function fetchToken() {
  return fetch(URL, { method: "POST" })
    .then(function(response) {
      return response.json();
    })
    .then(function(data) {
      return data.secret;
    });
  }
