Problem with async function not being called in javascript
Solution 1:
Here is a corrected snippet. @Quentin already pointed out that the id "login" was missing.
const form = document.getElementById('login')
form.addEventListener('submit', login)
async function login(event) {
console.log('logging in ...')
event.preventDefault()
const username = document.getElementById('username').value
const password = document.getElementById('password').value
const url='https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users/'; // '/api/login'
const result = await fetch(url, {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
body: JSON.stringify({
username,
password
})
}).then((res) => res.json())
if (result.status !== 'ok') {
// everything went fine
console.log('Got the token: ', result)
// localStorage.setItem('token', result.id)
alert('Success')
} else {
if (result.status === 'Not Found') {
alert("Incorrect Username and/or Password!");
} else {
alert("Please enter Username and Password!");
}
}
