dropbox-client

dropbox-client

dropbox-client is a client for the Dropbox developer API v2 that uses JavaScript's fetch API.

Installation

Using npm:

$ npm install --save dropbox-client

Then, use as you would anything else:

// using ES6 modules
import { fetch, createFetch } from 'dropbox-client'

// using CommonJS modules
var fetch = require('dropbox-client').fetch
var createFetch = require('dropbox-client').createFetch

In node, dropbox-client automatically uses the node-fetch library under the hood so no extra configuration is necessary. You'll need to be running node >= 4. Be sure to read about the known differences between node-fetch and the fetch spec.

You'll need to shim window.fetch in browsers that do not support it (Safari and IE). github/fetch is a great polyfill.

If you're bundling dropbox-client with webpack, you'll want to include the following in your webpack config:

const webpack = require('webpack')

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    new webpack.IgnorePlugin(/node-fetch/),
    new webpack.DefinePlugin({
      'typeof window': JSON.stringify('object')
    })
  ]
}

The UMD build is also available on npmcdn:

<script src="https://npmcdn.com/dropbox-client/umd/dropbox-client.min.js"></script>

You can find the library on window.DropboxClient.
