# window.fetch polyfill | ||
|
||
The global `fetch` function is an easier way to make web requests and handle | ||
responses than using an XMLHttpRequest. This polyfill is written as closely as | ||
possible to the standard Fetch specification at https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org. | ||
|
||
## Installation | ||
|
||
Available on [Bower](http://bower.io) as **fetch**. | ||
|
||
``` | ||
$ bower install fetch | ||
``` | ||
|
||
You'll also need a Promise polyfill for older browsers. | ||
|
||
``` | ||
$ bower install es6-promise | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Usage | ||
|
||
The `fetch` function supports any HTTP method. We'll focus on GET and POST | ||
example requests. | ||
|
||
### HTML | ||
|
||
```javascript | ||
fetch('/users.html').then(function(response) { | ||
document.body.innerHTML = response.body | ||
}) | ||
``` | ||
|
||
### JSON | ||
|
||
```javascript | ||
fetch('/users.json') | ||
.then(function(response) { | ||
return response.json() | ||
}).then(function(json) { | ||
console.log('parsed json', json) | ||
}).catch(function(ex) { | ||
console.log('parsing failed', ex) | ||
}) | ||
``` | ||
|
||
### Response metadata | ||
|
||
```javascript | ||
fetch('/users.json').then(function(response) { | ||
console.log(response.headers.get('Content-Type')) | ||
console.log(response.headers.get('Date')) | ||
console.log(response.status) | ||
console.log(response.statusText) | ||
console.log(response.body) | ||
}) | ||
``` | ||
|
||
### Post form | ||
|
||
```javascript | ||
var form = document.querySelector('form') | ||
|
||
fetch('/query', { | ||
method: 'post', | ||
body: new FormData(form) | ||
}) | ||
``` | ||
|
||
### Post form fields | ||
|
||
```javascript | ||
fetch('/query', { | ||
method: 'post', | ||
body: { | ||
name: 'Hubot', | ||
login: 'hubot' | ||
} | ||
}) | ||
``` | ||
|
||
### Post JSON | ||
|
||
```javascript | ||
fetch('/users', { | ||
method: 'post', | ||
headers: { | ||
'Accept': 'application/json', | ||
'Content-Type': 'application/json' | ||
}, | ||
body: JSON.stringify({ | ||
name: 'Hubot', | ||
login: 'hubot', | ||
}) | ||
}) | ||
``` | ||
|
||
### File upload | ||
|
||
```javascript | ||
var input = document.querySelector('input[type="file"]') | ||
|
||
var form = new FormData() | ||
form.append('file', input.files[0]) | ||
form.append('user', 'hubot') | ||
|
||
fetch('/avatars', { | ||
method: 'post', | ||
body: form | ||
}) | ||
``` | ||
|
