The headers read-only property of the Response interface contains the Headers object associated with the response.
Syntax
var myHeaders = response.headers;
Value
A Headers object.
Example
In our Fetch Response example (see Fetch Response live) we create a new Request object using the Request() constructor, passing it a JPG path. We then fetch this request using fetch(), extract a blob from the response using Body.blob, create an object URL out of it using URL.createObjectURL, and display this in an <img>.
Note that at the top of the fetch() block we log the response headers value to the console.
var myImage = document.querySelector('img');
var myRequest = new Request('flowers.jpg');
fetch(myRequest).then(function(response) {
console.log(response.headers); // returns a Headers{} object
response.blob().then(function(myBlob) {
var objectURL = URL.createObjectURL(myBlob);
myImage.src = objectURL;
});
});
