What is @whatwg-node/fetch?

@whatwg-node/fetch is an npm package that provides a WHATWG Fetch API implementation for Node.js. It allows developers to use the familiar Fetch API, which is standard in web browsers, in a Node.js environment. This package is useful for making HTTP requests, handling responses, and working with various types of data formats.

What are @whatwg-node/fetch's main functionalities?

Basic Fetch Request

This feature allows you to make a basic HTTP GET request to a specified URL and handle the response. The example fetches a post from a placeholder API and logs the JSON response.

const fetch = require('@whatwg-node/fetch');

fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1')
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data))
  .catch(error => console.error('Error:', error));

POST Request with JSON Body

This feature allows you to make an HTTP POST request with a JSON body. The example sends a new post to the placeholder API and logs the JSON response.

const fetch = require('@whatwg-node/fetch');

const data = { title: 'foo', body: 'bar', userId: 1 };

fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify(data)
})
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data))
  .catch(error => console.error('Error:', error));

Handling Different Response Types

This feature demonstrates how to handle different response types and errors. The example checks if the response is OK before parsing it as JSON, and throws an error if the response is not OK.

const fetch = require('@whatwg-node/fetch');

fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1')
  .then(response => {
    if (response.ok) {
      return response.json();
    } else {
      throw new Error('Network response was not ok');
    }
  })
  .then(data => console.log(data))
  .catch(error => console.error('Error:', error));
