 You can also call refetch to rerun the fetcher directly, and pass an optional argument to provide additional info to the fetcher e.g `refetch(info)`.
 
 `data` works like a normal signal getter: use `data()` to read the last returned value of `fetchData`. 
-But it also has extra reactive properties: `data.loading` tells you if the fetcher has been called but not returned, and `data.error` tells you if the request has errored out; if so, it contains the error thrown by the fetcher. 
-(Note: if you anticipate errors, you may want to wrap `createResource` in an [ErrorBoundary](/reference/components/error-boundary).)

-As of **v1.4.0**, `data.latest` will return the last returned value and won't trigger [Suspense](/reference/components/suspense) and [transitions](#TODO); if no value has been returned yet, `data.latest` acts the same as `data()`.

+  - Fetcher throws an `Error` instance, `data.error` will be that instance.
+  - If the fetcher throws a string, `data.error.message` will contain that string.
