javascript - What does this error mean — Uncaught TypeError: Already read?

Question

In Javascript, when is this error thrown?

index.js

/**
 * Created by tushar.mathur on 24/12/15.
 */
'use strict'

const _ = require('lodash')
const Rx = require('rx')
const createDataStore = require('./src/createDataStore')

const fetch = x => Rx.Observable.fromPromise(window.fetch(x)) 
const parseJSON = x => Rx.Observable.fromPromise(x.json()) // Line: 11 (Where the exception is thrown)
var create = _.partial(createDataStore, fetch, parseJSON)
module.exports = {
  create,
  // Alias for legacy purposes
  createDataStore: create,
  createFetchStore: create
}

Is it a native promise error? What does it imply? Google shows no result found.

I think it means that the body has already been read by using either .json() .text() etc... When you run x.json() it takes the response's body and reads it into JSON. If you try to run x.json() again it will give you that error. So you could only use one of these methods once. So I am assuming somewhere in your code it is reading the body of the same response again using one of the Body methods.

I think that is why they offer the Body.bodyUsed method. So you can see if it has been read already.
