gofor

gofor

gofor is a (Gofor) factory interface for a lean fetch decorator that deep reverse merges default options. It means the headers you put in for each request will take precedence, but will supplemented with the defaults. It's fetch is a fetch Promise

The index is a factory, returning the wrapped fetch. It is recommended to use the factory method.

Install

npm i -S @fiverr/gofor

Use

Create an instance:

const goforFactory = require('@fiverr/gofor');
const defaultHeaders = new Headers();
defaultHeaders.append('X-Requested-With', 'XMLHttpRequest');
defaultHeaders.append('Content-Type', 'application/json; charset=utf-8');
defaultHeaders.append('Accept', 'application/json');

const gofor = goforFactory({
    credentials: 'same-origin',
    headers: defaultHeaders
});

// Use only defaults
gofor('https://www.website.com').then(...);

// Add/Apply other options
gofor('/page', {
    headers: {
        'X-Custom-Header': 'Custom-Value'
    }
}).then(...);

Supports headers as object literals or Headers instances

Default header keys will be run over if matched by passed in header keys. Other keys will be merged. This is made by design.

Example

const gofor = goforFactory({
    credentials: 'same-origin',
    headers: new Headers({
        'Content-Type': 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
        'X-Custom-Header': 'Custom-Value'
    })
});

gofor('/page', {
    headers: new Headers({
        'Content-Type': 'text/plain',
    })
});

Final headers will be:

    'Content-Type': 'text/plain',
    'X-Custom-Header': 'Custom-Value'
