  * This function is convienient because it does not require an API connection.
  * Note that this only allows for adding a single event.
  * The data does not have to exist already on any Google Calendar anywhere.
  * This just adds your event data to the end-users GCal one item at a time.
  * See https://stackoverflow.com/a/19867654/947370 for a full explaination of

I really liked @tjvantoll article Handling Failed HTTP Responses With fetch(). The one thing I found annoying with it, though, is that response.statusText always returns the generic error message associated with the error code. Most APIs, however, will generally return some kind of useful, more human friendly message in the body.

Here's a modification that will capture this message. The key is that rather than throwing an error, you just throw the response and then process it in the catch block to extract the message in the body:

fetch("/api/foo")
  .then( response => {
    if (!response.ok) { throw response }
    return response.json()  //we only get here if there is no error
 })
