A polyfill for Promise and fetch for Parcel v1, to keep it working for those browsers without it.
Looking at you Internet Explorer.
TL;DR: multiple bundle support in Parcel, such as using the ability to require html partial files, makes direct use of both the Promise and fetch APIs, directly.
This plugin is born of my frustaration with the scenario outline in parcel issue #2364. This requires additional intervention, since the native requirement of the potentially un-polyfilled APIs is prior to any polyfill via babel-polyfill and isn't something that can be influenced inside the application source itself; at least not without convoluted efforts.
npm install --save-dev parcel-plugin-goodie-bag
No additional configuration required. If your app is being bundled by parcel and you have this plugin installed, the processed application will build with:
- the
*.htmlcontaining ascripttag in its head pointing to the "goodie bag` script (the two polyfills) - a "goodie bag" script file, placed in the destination directory (
outDirto parcel, defaults todist) - the script tag will respect your configured
publicUrloption with Parcel (e.g.- prefixed with default/or no root slash in the case of.)
Note: If you're not processing your index.html file through parcel, for example merely bundling the JS directly, I believe you're missing out on some of the super powers of parcel. However, if that's your workflow and you're missing out on this plugin's functionality, please consult the discussion and resolution outlined in this issue.
I made use of a simple reproducible repository I had set up for tracking this issue.

Parcel is an amazing bundler with superpowers. The fact that my ability to support IE(11), a requirement for my day job, was hampered by this limitation of a multiple bundle scenario meant that I had to solve the problem myself. It is my hope that one day the configuration of Parcel will allow for the surfacing of base level APIs, such as Promise and fetch to make this plugin unnecessary. Until then, I'll keep this available to provide some sanity.
