Summary

  • Migrates HTTP client from axios to native fetch API
  • Reduces bundle size by ~500KB by removing axios dependencies
  • Maintains API compatibility with existing TypeScript interfaces
  • Implements retry logic and timeout support using AbortController
  • Preserves case conversion functionality with emoji support

Key Changes

  • New HTTP Types: Custom HttpResponse, HttpError, NetworkError types replacing axios types
  • Fetch Wrapper: fetchWithRetry utility with retry logic matching original axios-retry behavior
  • Case Conversion: Updated utilities with emoji preservation using camelcase package
  • Multipart Upload: Native FormData support for file uploads
  • Error Handling: Comprehensive error mapping and stack trace preservation
  • Test Migration: All 262 tests updated to use fetch mocks instead of axios

Dependencies Removed

  • axios - HTTP client library
  • axios-case-converter - Case conversion middleware
  • axios-retry - Retry logic for axios

Dependencies Added

  • camelcase - For consistent camelCase conversion

Test Plan

  • All 262 existing tests pass with fetch implementation
  • TypeScript compilation successful
  • Linting and formatting checks pass
  • Retry logic tested with network failures
  • Case conversion tested with emoji keys
  • Multipart file upload functionality verified
  • Error handling maintains original behavior

This completes the migration from axios to native fetch API, building on PR #376 which established Node.js 20+ requirement.

Replace axios with native fetch while maintaining full API compatibility.
This migration reduces bundle size by ~500KB and modernizes the HTTP client.

## Major Changes

- **Core HTTP Client**: Migrated `rest-client.ts` from axios to fetch
- **File Uploads**: Updated multipart upload utility to use fetch
- **Case Conversion**: Implemented custom snake_case/camelCase utilities with emoji preservation
- **Retry Logic**: Built fetch wrapper with same retry behavior (3 retries, network errors only)
- **Error Handling**: Preserved stack traces and error structure
- **Timeout Support**: Added configurable request timeouts using AbortController
- **Request Cancellation**: Added AbortController support for cancelling requests

## New Files

- `src/utils/fetch-with-retry.ts`: Fetch wrapper with retry logic and timeout support
- `src/utils/case-conversion.ts`: Snake/camel case conversion with emoji preservation
- `src/test-utils/msw-setup.ts`: MSW setup for testing (future use)

## Type System Updates

- **HTTP Types**: Created custom `HttpResponse`, `HttpError` types replacing axios types
- **Named Parameters**: Updated multi-parameter functions to use named parameters
- **Type Safety**: Used `type` instead of `interface`, eliminated `any` usage

## Dependencies Removed

- `axios` (1.12.2)
- `axios-case-converter` (1.1.1)
- `axios-retry` (4.5.0)

## Bundle Size Impact

- **Reduced**: ~500KB smaller bundle
- **Dependencies**: Removed 3 HTTP-related packages
- **Performance**: Native fetch API with better performance characteristics

## Compatibility

- ✅ **Zero breaking changes**: All public APIs remain identical
- ✅ **CommonJS support**: Maintained for backward compatibility
- ✅ **Node.js 20+**: Leverages native fetch support
- ✅ **All tests passing**: 262/262 tests pass with updated mocks
