Node-fetch API incompatible with calls to Web Fetch API

[moonman239]

I have a library that is designed for use in a browser (HuggingFace's Transformers.js). It uses the Web Fetch API, so I've been trying to monkey-patch in node-fetch stuff with no success so far, due to node-fetch's Response type being incompatible with that used in the Web Fetch API.

After a bunch of work on my end, the program finally fails due to the library trying to call the getReader function of the body property of the Response. This function is not defined.

Reproduction

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. In a project folder install the NPM packages @xenova/transformers and ts-node.
2. In that same folder, create a TypeScript file that sets global.fetch to node-fetch's fetch function and calls the "pipeline" function of "transformers."
3. run npx ts-node

Expected behavior
The code should run without issue.
