Fetch for node and Browserify. Also works in Webpack and React-Native Built on top of GitHub's WHATWG Fetch polyfill.
- This adds
fetchas a global so that its API is consistent between client and server. - You must bring your own ES6 Promise compatible polyfill, I suggest es6-promise.
For ease-of-maintenance and backward-compatibility reasons, this library will always be a polyfill. As a "safe" alternative, which does not modify the global, consider fetch-ponyfill.
npm install --save portable-fetch es6-promiserequire('es6-promise').polyfill();
require('portable-fetch');
fetch('//offline-news-api.herokuapp.com/stories')
.then(function(response) {
if (response.status >= 400) {
throw new Error("Bad response from server");
}
return response.json();
})
.then(function(stories) {
console.log(stories);
