README
isomorphic-fetch
Fetch for node and Browserify. Built on top of GitHub's WHATWG Fetch polyfill.
Warnings
- This adds
fetch
as a global so that its API is consistent between client and server.
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.
Why Use Isomorphic Fetch
The Fetch API is currently not implemented consistently across browsers. This module will enable you to use fetch
in your Node code in a cross-browser compliant fashion. The Fetch API is part of the Web platform API defined by the standards bodies WHATWG and W3C.
Installation
NPM
npm install --save isomorphic-fetch
Bower
bower install --save isomorphic-fetch
Usage
require('isomorphic-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);
});

Alternatives
- cross-fetch
- Using node-fetch and the Fetch polyfill directly (or from polyfill.io, or relying on the browser's implementation of the Fetch API).
