Advanced tools
This package provides a full polyfill for the Web Streams Standard
for use in browsers, including patching the built-in fetch
and Response
types
to support the body
field for both downloading and uploading.
This uses the fully compliant Stardazed streams implementation and the streams fetch adapter to connect the implementation to the current environment.
💡 NB: if you have your own ReadableStream
replacement — including mocks or modifications
of the built-in type — and want to use it with fetch
, you can use the fetch adapter
to have your code work with fetch
transparently.
The core streams functionality requires ES6 classes, Symbol
, Promise
and
typed arrays to be implemented. Testing has only been done on current browsers but it
should work with Safari 9+, Edge 13+, Firefox 45+ and Chrome 42+. IE is not supported.
Adapting fetch
to work with streams requires that the browser has native fetch
and
Proxy
objects. This comes down to: Safari 10.1+ (iOS 10.3+), Edge 14+, Firefox 52+
and Chrome 54+.
I have not tested older browsers with a fetch
polyfill. It may work, it may not.
If you try it out, ensure the fetch
polyfill loads before this one.
Node (as of July 2018) has no built-in fetch or web streams support. I did not do extensive
tests but this polyfill, when require()
d, will install all streams types in Node's
global
object and they then work as expected. Like with browsers, cooperation with any
fetch
polyfills available has not been tested.
In general, polyfills are not used in Node. If you want to use web streams in Node, consider
using the Stardazed streams
package directly and optionally wrapping any fetch
implementations you use with the
streams fetch adapter.
Node versions >= 7 should be sufficient.
There are two ways to use this package, as a simple <script>
include or as an import
with side effects.
Use your favourite CDN supplier or host the file yourself. Make sure to have the polyfill
load before any code that uses ReadableStream
, fetch
or Response
. To be safe have
it load as the first script.
<script src="//unpkg.com/@stardazed/streams-polyfill/dist/sd-streams-polyfill.min.js"></script>
First add this package to your project with your package manager of choice.
pnpm install @stardazed/streams-polyfill
npm install @stardazed/streams-polyfill
yarn add @stardazed/streams-polyfill
Then import it in your index.js/ts file, at application startup. Like with the include method above, make sure this code runs before everything else.
import "@stardazed/streams-polyfill";
All stream types are available globally after that point, no further actions are needed.
