In layman’s terms, the error “uncaught in promise” in JavaScript arises when a promise is rejected but there isn’t a failure handler (like .catch) for it. Basically, you made a promise to do something (like fetch data), it didn’t go as planned, and you weren’t prepared for that failure. So, to fix this error, you need to ensure you have a catch block or use a try/catch if you’re using async/await.
The “uncaught in promise” error in JavaScript pops up when a promise is rejected but there isn’t a catch handler to address the rejected promise. Think of it as a postman (promise) trying to deliver a letter (data) but nobody’s home (a catch block) to receive it.
