How do you implement basic error handling for network failures in a JavaScript `fetch` request?

`fetch` itself only throws an error (rejects the promise) for network-related issues (e.g., no internet connection, DNS failure) or if the request is aborted. You can catch these fundamental errors using a `try...catch` block around the `await fetch(...)` call or by chaining a `.catch()` method to the `fetch` promise. ```javascript async function fetchData(url) { try { const response = await fetch(url); // Process successful response const data = await response.json(); return data; } catch (error) { console.error('Network or fetch-related error:', error); throw new Error('Failed to fetch data due to network issues.'); } } ```
