<fetch-element>

Element for interacting with the fetch api and queuing requests up if working offline

Installation

bower install fetch-offline-element --save

Usage

Include the element in your element/html page.

<link rel="import" href="../bower_components/fetch-element/fetch-element.html">

Add to your html

<fetch-element id="request"></fetch-element>

In you're javascript you can interact with it like so

let req = new Request('url', {method: 'POST', body: body})
    this.$.request.fetch(req)
        .then(function (response) {
            if (response.status === 202){
                ///handle offline by returning body
                return body
            }
            ///otherwise returns a data stream, converting it to json
            return response.json()
          })
          .then(function(stuff){
            console.log(stuff)
          })

Pass the fetch element a request object, created using the Request constructor

If you are offline, the element will add the request to the queue stored in the local cache and return you a 202 where you can then handle being offline

If you are online, the element will flush the cache in order which the were sent and then make a fetch request and return a promise, with a response object

Cavet the fetch api doesn't reject the promise if a 404 or 500 is returned from the server.
