Fetch API feature request

[camsong]

The Fetch API provides an interface for fetching resources, would be a replacement of XMLHttpRequest. Is there any plan to support that?

Hey @camsong! fetch isn't part of EcmaScript, its part of the web platform. I'm not sure Babel really supports polyfiling the web platform/DOM. So you'd need to pull in a manual polypill. I've used https://github.com/github/fetch which is really nice. https://github.com/matthew-andrews/isomorphic-fetch works on the server side too.

@keithamus is completely correct. Babel just deals with syntax. If you want a polyfill then feel free to use core-js and github/fetch.
