// callback syntax:

// http request:
fetch('http://taco-randomizer.herokuapp.com/random/', data => console.log(data));

// non-json response:
fetch('https://google.com', data => console.log(data));

// invalid request:
fetch('https://invalid....com', data => console.log(data));

// promisified version:
(async () => {
  const data = await fetchp('https://api.github.com/users/hinchley');
  console.log(data);
})();
