Translate curl to fetch

TODO: collapasable, copyable, download, etc

I have a curl that works with -u username:password how would I translate that into the intputs to fetch?If you have a curl command that looks like this:

curl -u username:password http://example.com/resource

The -u flag specifies the credentials for basic authentication. You can translate this into a JavaScript fetch call using the Authorization header with "Basic" followed by a base64 encoded string of the username and password concatenated with a colon (:).

Here's how you'd do it:

const url = "http://example.com/resource";
const username = "username";
const password = "password";

// Base64 encode the credentials
const base64Credentials = btoa(username + ":" + password);

fetch(url, {
  method: 'GET',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Basic ' + base64Credentials
  }
})
.then(response => response.json()) // assuming server responds with json
.then(data => console.log(data))
.catch(error => console.error('There was an error!', error));

In the above code:

• The btoa function is a built-in JavaScript function that encodes a string as base64.
• The Authorization header is constructed using the base64 encoded credentials.
• You can then handle the response or errors as required by your application.

Make sure that if you're working in a browser environment, the server supports CORS if you're making cross-origin requests. If the server does not support CORS, you'll need to use some server-side solution or service that acts as a proxy.
