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.

    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);

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);
  });
