fetchText

Asynchronously loads the given resource as text. Returns a promise that will resolve to a String once loaded, or reject if the resource failed to load. The data is loaded using XMLHttpRequest, which means that in order to make requests to another origin, the server must have Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) headers enabled.

// load text from a URL, setting a custom header
const resource = new Resource({
  url: 'http://someUrl.com/someJson.txt',
  headers: {
    'X-Custom-Header' : 'some value'
  }
});
resource.fetchText().then(function(text) {
    // Do something with the text
}).catch(function(error) {
    // an error occurred
});
