React Native: Possible unhandled promise rejection

Question

I'm getting the following error: Possible unhandled promise rejection (id:0: Network request failed

Here's the promise code, I don't see what's wrong here, any ideas?

  return fetch(url)
    .then(function(response){
      return response.json();
    })
    .then(function(json){
      return {
        city: json.name,
        temperature: kelvinToF(json.main.temp),
        description: _.capitalize(json.weather[0].description)
      }
    })
    .catch(function(error) {
    console.log('There has been a problem with your fetch operation: ' + error.message);
    });
}

**Edit: I added a catch function and got a better error You passed an undefined or null state object; instead, use forceUpdate(). index.ios.js:64 undefined

Here's the index.ios.js code. The url is fine and giving me the correct json data. I can see with console log that both region.latitude and region.longitude are available in Api(region.latitude, region.longitude). But data is undefined. I'm still not sure what's going on, why there's a problem with data and why it's undefined.

var Weather = React.createClass({

        onRegionChangeComplete={this.onRegionChangeComplete}

    this.setState({
      pin: {
        longitude: region.longitude,
        latitude: region.latitude
      }
    });

    Api(region.latitude, region.longitude)
      .then((data) => {
        console.log(data);
        this.setState(data);
      });
  }
});




var styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    justifyContent: 'center',
    alignItems: 'stretch',
    backgroundColor: '#F5FCFF'
  },
  map: {
    flex: 2,
    marginTop: 30
  },
  textWrapper: {
    flex: 1,
    alignItems: 'center'
  },
  text: {
    fontSize: 30
  }
});

AppRegistry.registerComponent('weather', () => Weather);

add .catch() also and see if error disappears. reference: facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/… — Ivan Chernykh
Thank you. simply .catch(err=>err) to after .then() worked for me. =) — Noby Fujioka

catch function in your api should either return some data which could be handled by Api call in React class or throw new error which should be caught using a catch function in your React class code. Latter approach should be something like:

return fetch(url)
.then(function(response){
  return response.json();
})
.then(function(json){
  return {
    city: json.name,
    temperature: kelvinToF(json.main.temp),
    description: _.capitalize(json.weather[0].description)
  }
})
.catch(function(error) {
console.log('There has been a problem with your fetch operation: ' + error.message);
 // ADD THIS THROW error
  throw error;
});

Then in your React Class:

Api(region.latitude, region.longitude)
  .then((data) => {
    console.log(data);
    this.setState(data);
  }).catch((error)=>{
     console.log("Api call error");
     alert(error.message);
  });
