Description
On react js doc page (https://reactjs.org/docs/faq-ajax.html#how-can-i-make-an-ajax-call) there is a comment for fetch in useEffect :
// Note: it's important to handle errors here
// instead of a catch() block so that we don't swallow
// exceptions from actual bugs in components.
is this comment is still relevant ?
