got-fetch

A fetch-compatible wrapper around got for those times when you need to fetch stuff over HTTP 😉

Install

got is a peer dependency so you will need to install it alongside got-fetch:

$ npm install --save got got-fetch

If you use Typescript then you will also need @types/got if you want your project to build:

$ npm install --save-dev @types/got

Usage

The module exports a global instance ready to fetch resources:

const { fetch } = require('got-fetch');

fetch('https://example.com').then(resp => {
  console.log(resp.status); // should be 200
  resp.text().then(body => console.log(body)); // should be some HTML code
});

The module also exports a function which allows you to use your own custom got instance:

const got = require('got');
const { createFetch } = require('got-fetch');

const myGot = got.extend({
  headers: {
    'x-api-key': 'foo bar'
  }
});

const fetch = createFetch(myGot);

// this request will send the header `x-api-key: foo bar`
fetch('https://example.com');

Limitations

fetch is designed for browser environments and this package is just a wrapper around a Node-based HTTP client. Not all fetch features are supported:
