What is make-fetch-happen?

The make-fetch-happen npm package is a wrapper around the node-fetch package which provides additional features such as caching, retries, proxy support, and more. It is designed to make HTTP requests in Node.js environments more robust and feature-rich.

What are make-fetch-happen's main functionalities?

Caching

This feature allows make-fetch-happen to cache responses locally, which can be reused for future requests to the same resource, saving bandwidth and time.

const fetch = require('make-fetch-happen').defaults({
  cacheManager: './my-cache' // path where cache will be stored
});

fetch('https://example.com').then(response => response.json()).then(data => console.log(data));

Retries

This feature enables automatic retries of failed requests, with customizable settings for the number of retries, delay strategy, and more.

const fetch = require('make-fetch-happen').defaults({
  retry: {
    retries: 3, // maximum amount of retries
    factor: 2, // the exponential factor for delay between retries
    minTimeout: 1000 // the number of milliseconds before starting the first retry
  }
});

fetch('https://example.com').then(response => response.json()).then(data => console.log(data));

Proxy Support

This feature allows requests to be made through a specified HTTP or HTTPS proxy.

const fetch = require('make-fetch-happen').defaults({
  proxy: 'http://myproxy.com:8080'
});

fetch('https://example.com').then(response => response.json()).then(data => console.log(data));

Timeouts

This feature allows setting a maximum time to wait for a response before aborting the request.

const fetch = require('make-fetch-happen').defaults({
  timeout: 5000 // time in milliseconds
});

fetch('https://example.com').then(response => response.json()).then(data => console.log(data));
