Response: statusText property

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since March 2017.

Note: This feature is available inWeb Workers.

ThestatusText read-only property of theResponse interface contains the status message corresponding to the HTTP status code inResponse.status.

For example, this would beOK for a status code200,Continue for100,Not Found for404.

Value

AString containing the HTTP status message associated with the response.The default value is "".

SeeHTTP response status codes for a list of codes and their associated status messages.Note that HTTP/2does not support status messages.

In ourFetch Response example (seeFetch Response live) we create a newRequest object using theRequest() constructor, passing it a JPG path.We then fetch this request usingfetch(), extract a blob from the response usingResponse.blob, create an object URL out of it usingURL.createObjectURL(), and display this in an<img>.

Note that at the top of thefetch() block we log the responsestatusText value to the console.

const myImage = document.querySelector("img");const myRequest = new Request("flowers.jpg");fetch(myRequest)  .then((response) => {    console.log("response.statusText =", response.statusText); // response.statusText = "OK"    return response.blob();  })  .then((myBlob) => {    const objectURL = URL.createObjectURL(myBlob);    myImage.src = objectURL;  });
