mode: 'no-cors' means "I am not doing anything that needs CORS permission, don't ask for it".

resp.text(); requires CORS permission when dealing with cross-origin requests.

So don't say mode: 'no-cors'.

(If the URL does not come with CORS permission, then you'll need to look at changing that or using a proxy. Further reading: XMLHttpRequest cannot load XXX No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header)

I didnt need the 'no-cors' because of the 'access-controll-allow-origin' problem. Could I use something else than resp.text();? – Vetlesen Dec 13 '19 at 13:43
@Vetlesen — No. If you want to read the content, you need CORS permission (or one of the work arounds described in the answer to the linked question). – Quentin Dec 13 '19 at 13:49
