$http.get(...).text is not a function

[lcherone]

I'm getting the above error using code directly taken from the example in docs:

https://http.nuxtjs.org/guide/usage.html#using-in-asyncdata

 "dependencies": {
    "@nuxt/http": "^0.3.8",

<template>
  <pre>{{ ip }}</pre>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  async asyncData({ $http }) {
    const ip = await $http.get('http://icanhazip.com').text()
    return { ip }
  }
};
</script>

browser

console

additionally, the response object looks like:

Response 
  body: ReadableStream
    locked: false
    __proto__: ReadableStream
  bodyUsed: false
  headers: Headers
    __proto__: Headers
  ok: true
  redirected: false
  status: 200
  statusText: "OK"
  type: "cors"
  url: "http://icanhazip.com/"
  __proto__: Response

network all good and shows content (ip).. also the same error if done outside of asyncData as a normal method and called in mounted.. maybe I'm missing something obvious

Just FYI for other who got this issue.
It seems that the document is missing response promise chain, so it should be

const requestData = await $http.get('http://icanhazip.com')
const ip = await requestData.text()
return { ip }
