{{APIRef("Fetch API")}}{{AvailableInWorkers}}
The statusText read-only property of the {{domxref("Response")}} interface contains the status message corresponding to the HTTP status code in {{domxref("Response.status")}}.
For example, this would be OK for a status code 200, Continue for 100, Not Found for 404.
A {{jsxref("String")}} containing the HTTP status message associated with the response. The default value is "".
See HTTP response status codes for a list of codes and their associated status messages. Note that HTTP/2 does not support status messages.
In our Fetch Response example (see Fetch Response live) we create a new {{domxref("Request")}} object using the {{domxref("Request.Request","Request()")}} constructor, passing it a JPG path. We then fetch this request using {{domxref("Window/fetch", "fetch()")}}, extract a blob from the response using {{domxref("Response.blob")}}, create an object URL out of it using {{domxref("URL.createObjectURL_static", "URL.createObjectURL()")}}, and display this in an {{htmlelement("img")}}.
Note that at the top of the fetch() block we log the response statusText 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;
});
