post

const req = {body: {name: 'Happy cat'}}

fitch.post(apiUrl, req)
  .then(response => console.log(response))

put

const req = {body: {name: 'Happy cat'}}

fitch.put(apiUrl, req)

patch

const req = {body: {name: 'Happy cat'}}

fitch.patch(apiUrl, req)
  .then(response => console.log(response))

del

fitch.del(apiUrl)
  .then(response => console.log(response))

Use with custom configuration

const config = {
  cache: 'no-store',
  headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
  mode: 'no-cors',
  params: { // transform to '?test1=test-1&test2=test-2'
    test1: 'test-1',
    test2: 'test-2',
  },
  raw: true, // return the raw output of fetch()
  redirect: 'follow',
}

fitch.get(apiUrl, config)
  .then(response => console.log(response))

See more about fetch configuration at: Fetch API.

Concurrency

all

Helper function for dealing with concurrent requests.

const reqDogs = fitch.get('/dogs')
const reqCats = fitch.get('/cats')

function doSomething([ responseDogs, responseCats ]) {
  console.log('Dogs\t>>>', responseDogs)
  console.log('Cats\t>>>', responseCats)
}

fitch.all([ reqDogs, reqCats ])
  .then(doSomething)

Default Configuration and Request Interceptor

const fetchWrapper = fitch.init({
  config: { raw: true },
  interceptor: response => response.json(),
})

fetchWrapper.get(baseUrl).then(data =>
  console.log('GET with interceptor\t>>>', data)
)

Browser Support

• Chrome
• Firefox
• Edge
• Safari 6.1+
• Internet Explorer 10+

Note: modern browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge contain native implementations of window.fetch, so the polyfill doesn't have any affect on those browsers. See more at window.fetch polyfill.
