Can we use companion fetch API in the simulator?

[litetaker]

I am trying to use the companion API for fetching some data from the internet in the simulator. But I cannot get it to work! I seem to be getting an empty response for whatever URL I try, even if the URL is completely wrong.

For example:

/*
 * Entry point for the companion app
 */

console.log("Companion Started");

fetch('https://www.google.com').then( (res) => {
    console.log("OK");
    console.log(res);
  }).catch( e => {
    console.log(e);
  });

All I get in the console is:

[HOST] [9:44:17 PM] App Started

[9:44:17 PM] Companion Started

[9:44:17 PM] OK

[9:44:17 PM] {}

I have no idea what I am doing wrong. Can we not do this with the simulator yet? Also, can we please get more meaningful tutorials? I have literally no idea how to proceed with building an app with the documentation given. I am curious how other developers figured it out given the lack of good documentation.

Whoops! Let me chalk this up to my lack of familiarity to this API. I now see how I can get the result correctly. I need to do the following:

fetch(url).then(function(response) {
      return response.text();
    }).then(function(text) {
      console.log("Got JSON response from server: " + text); });

 So the fetch API does work in the simulator.
