Table of Contents

Why Choose xior?

xior use the native fetch API, offering several advantages:

  • Web Standard: Fetch is a widely supported web standard, ensuring compatibility across different environments.
  • Built-in Availability: Both Node.js and browsers have built-in fetch implementations, eliminating the need for external dependencies.
  • Edge Compatibility: Unlike Axios, xior works seamlessly in edge runtimes, making it suitable for serverless functions and Next.js middleware.
  • Convenient API and Plugin Support: xior provides a familiar API similar to Axios, while also offering plugin support for customization and extending functionalities.

Why not just use axios?

If you want proxy support, use axios, because xior doesn't support proxy feature yet

While popular and convenient, Axios currently lacks native edge runtime support (see: https://github.com/axios/axios/issues/5523). This can be an issue for specific use cases like Next.js serverless functions and middleware files, where fetch offers built-in caching and revalidation mechanisms (see: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/functions/fetch).

Why choose xior over Custom Fetch Wrappers?

While you can certainly create your own wrapper library around fetch, xior offers a pre-built solution with a familiar API, plugin support for extensibility, and potentially a more streamlined development experience.

Since v0.2.1, xior support UMD format now :()

Use jsDelivr CDN:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/xior@0.2.2/dist/xior.umd.js"></script>

<!-- Usage -->
<script>
  console.log(xior.VERSION);

  xior.get('https://exmapledomain.com/api').then((res) => {
    console.log(res.data);
  });
</script>

Use unpkg CDN:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/xior@0.2.2/dist/xior.umd.js"></script>

<!-- Usage -->
<script>
  xior.get('https://exmapledomain.com/api').then((res) => {
    console.log(res.data);
  });
</script>

Create instance

import xior from 'xior';

export const xiorInstance = xior.create({
  baseURL: 'https://apiexampledomian.com/api',
  headers: {
    // put your common custom headers here
  },
});

GET / POST / DELETE / PUT / PATCH / OPTIONS / HEAD

GET

HEAD / DELETE / OPTIONS are same usage with GET method

async function run() {
  const { data } = await xiorInstance.get('/');

  // with params
  const { data: data2 } = await xiorInstance.get('/', { params: { a: 1, b: 2 } });

  // with headers
  const { data: data3 } = await xiorInstance.get('/', {
    params: { a: 1, b: 2 },
    headers: {
      'content-type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
    },
  });

  // types
  const { data: data4 } = await xiorInstance.get<{ field1: string; field2: number }>('/');
}

POST

PUT/PATCH methods are same usage with POST

async function run() {
  const { data: data3 } = await xiorInstance.post<{ field1: string; field2: number }>(
    '/',
    { a: 1, b: '2' },
    {
      params: { id: 1 },
      headers: {
        'content-type': 'application/json',
      },
    }
  );
}

Change default headers or params

import xior from 'xior';

export const xiorInstance = xior.create({
  baseURL: 'https://apiexampledomian.com/api',
});

function setAccessToken(token: string) {
  // xiorInstance.defaults.params['x'] = 1;
  xiorInstance.defaults.headers['Authorization'] = `Bearer ${token}`;
}

function removeUserToken() {
  // delete xiorInstance.defaults.params['x'];
  delete xiorInstance.defaults.headers['Authorization'];
}

Get response headers

import xior from 'xior';

const xiorInstance = xior.create({
  baseURL: 'https://apiexampledomian.com/api',
});

const { data, headers } = await xiorInstance.get('/');

console.log(headers.get('X-Header-Name'));

Upload file

xior supports file uploads using the FormData API and provides an optional 'xior/plugins/progress' plugin for simulating upload progress, usage similar to Axios.

import Xior from 'xior';
import uploadDownloadProgressPlugin from 'xior/plugins/progress';

const http = Xior.create({});

http.plugins.use(
  uploadDownloadProgressPlugin({
    progressDuration: 5 * 1000,
  })
);

const formData = FormData();
formData.append('file', fileObject);
formData.append('field1', 'val1');
formData.append('field2', 'val2');

http.post('/upload', formData, {
  onUploadProgress(e) {
    console.log(`Upload progress: ${e.progress}%`);
  },
  // progressDuration: 10 * 1000
});

Using interceptors

xior supports interceptors similar to Axios, allowing you to modify requests and handle responses programmatically.

Request inteceptors:

import xior, { merge } from 'xior';

const http = xior.create({
  // ...options
});

http.inteceptors.request.use((config) => {
  const token = localStorage.getItem('REQUEST_TOKEN');
  if (!token) return config;

  return merge(config, {
    headers: {
      Authorization: `Bearer ${token}`,
    },
  });
});

// One more inteceptor for request
http.inteceptors.request.use((config) => {
  return config;
});

Response inteceptors:

import xior, { merge } from 'xior';

const http = xior.create({});

http.inteceptors.response.use(
  (result) => {
    const { data, request: config, response: originalResponse } = result;
    return result;
  },
  async (error) => {
    if (error?.response?.status === 401) {
      localStorage.removeItem('REQUEST_TOKEN');
    }
  }
);

Timeout and Cancel request

Timeout:

import xior from 'xior';

const instance = xior.create({
  timeout: 120 * 1000, // set default timeout
});

await instance.post(
  'http://httpbin.org',
  {
    a: 1,
    b: 2,
  },
  {
    timeout: 60 * 1000, // override default timeout 120 * 1000
  }
);

Cancel request:

import xior from 'xior';
const instance = xior.create();

const controller = new AbortController();

xiorInstance.get('http://httpbin.org', { signal: controller.signal }).then((res) => {
  console.log(res.data);
});

class CancelRequestError extends Error {}
controller.abort(new CancelRequestError()); // abort request with custom error

Plugins

xior offers a variety of built-in plugins to enhance its functionality:

Usage:

import xior from 'xior';
import errorRetryPlugin from 'xior/plugins/error-retry';
import throttlePlugin from 'xior/plugins/throttle';
import cachePlugin from 'xior/plugins/cache';
import uploadDownloadProgressPlugin from 'xior/plugins/progress';

const http = xior.create();

http.plugins.use(errorRetryPlugin());
http.plugins.use(throttlePlugin());
http.plugins.use(cachePlugin());
http.plugins.use(uploadDownloadProgressPlugin());

Error retry plugin

Retry the failed request with special times

API:

function errorRetryPlugin(options: {
  retryTimes?: number;
  retryInterval?: number | ((errorCount: number) => number);
  enableRetry?: boolean | (config: XiorRequestConfig, error: XiorError | Error) => boolean;
  onRetry?: (config: XiorRequestConfig, error: XiorError | Error, count: number) => void;
}): XiorPlugin;

The options object:

ParamTypeDefault valueDescription
retryTimesnumber2Set the retry times for failed request
retryIntervalnumber | ((errorCount: number) => number)3000After first time retry, the next retries interval time, default interval is 3 seconds; you can use function as param too
enableRetryboolean | ((config: XiorRequestConfig, error: XiorError | Error) => boolean)(config, error) => config.method === 'GET' || config.isGetDefault only retry if GET request error and retryTimes > 0
onRetryboolean | ((config: XiorRequestConfig, error: XiorError | Error, count: number) => void)undefinedFor log retry info

Basic usage:

import xior from 'xior';
import errorRetryPlugin from 'xior/plugins/error-retry';

const http = xior.create();
http.plugins.use(
  errorRetryPlugin({
    retryTimes: 3,
    // retryInterval: 3000,
    retryInterval(count) {
      return count * 3000;
    },
    onRetry(config, error, count) {
      console.log(`${config.method} ${config.url} retry ${count} times`);
    },
  })
);

// if request error, max retry 3 times until success
http.get('/api1');

// if request error, will not retry, because `retryTimes: 0`
http.get('/api2', { retryTimes: 0 });

// if POST request error, will not retry
http.post('/api1');

// Use `enableRetry: true` to support post method, max retry 5 times until success
http.post('/api1', null, { retryTimes: 5, enableRetry: true });

Cache plugin

Makes xior cacheable

Good to Know: Next.js already support cache for fetch in server side. More detail

Different with error-cache plugin: this plugin will use the data in cache if the cache data not expired.

API:

function cachePlugin(options: {
  enableCache?: boolean | ((config?: XiorRequestConfig) => boolean);
  defaultCache?: ICacheLike<XiorPromise>;
}): XiorPlugin;

The options object:

ParamTypeDefault valueDescription
enableCacheboolean | ((config: Xiorconfig) => boolean)(config) => config.method === 'GET' || config.isGetDefault only enabled in GET request
defaultCacheCacheLikelru(100, 1000*60*5)will used for storing requests by default, except you define a custom Cache with your request config, use tiny-lru module

Basic usage:

import xior from 'xior';
import cachePlugin from 'xior/plugins/cache';

const http = xior.create();
http.plugins.use(cachePlugin());

http.get('/users'); // make real http request
http.get('/users'); // get cache from previous request
http.get('/users', { enableCache: false }); // disable cache manually and the real http request

http.post('/users'); // default no cache for post

// enable cache manually in post request
http.post('/users', { enableCache: true }); // make real http request
const res = await http.post('/users', { enableCache: true }); // get cache from previous request
if (res.fromCache) {
  // if `fromCache` is true, means data from cache!
  console.log('data from cache!');
}

Advanced:

import xior from 'xior';
import cachePlugin from 'xior/plugins/cache';
import { lru } from 'tiny-lru';

const http = xior.create({
  baseURL: 'https://example-domain.com/api',
  headers: { 'Cache-Control': 'no-cache' },
});
http.plugins.use(
  cachePlugin({
    // disable the default cache
    enableCache: false,
  })
);

http.get('/users', { enableCache: true }); // manually enable cache for this request
http.get('/users', { enableCache: true }); // get cache from  previous request

const cacheA = lru(100);
// a actual request made and cached due to force update configured
http.get('/users', { enableCache: true, defaultCache: cacheA, forceUpdate: true });

Upload and download progress plugin

Enable upload and download progress like axios, but the progress is simulated, This means it doesn't represent the actual progress but offers a user experience similar to libraries like axios.

API:

function progressPlugin(options: {
  /** default: 5*1000 ms */
  progressDuration?: number;
}): XiorPlugin;

The options object:

ParamTypeDefault valueDescription
progressDurationnumber5000The upload or download progress grow to 99% duration

Basic usage:

import xior from 'xior';
import uploadDownloadProgressPlugin from 'xior/plugins/progress';

const http = xior.create({});
http.plugins.use(uploadDownloadProgressPlugin());

const formData = FormData();
formData.append('file', fileObject);
formData.append('field1', 'val1');
formData.append('field2', 'val2');

http.post('/upload', formData, {
  // simulate upload progress to 99% in 10 seconds, default is 5 seconds
  progressDuration: 10 * 1000,
  onUploadProgress(e) {
    console.log(`Upload progress: ${e.progress}%`);
  },
  // onDownloadProgress(e) {
  //   console.log(`Download progress: ${e.progress}%`);
  // },
});

Mock plugin

This plugin let you eaisly mock requests

Usage:

with GET:

import xior from 'xior';
import MockPlugin from 'xior/plugins/mock';

const instance = xior.create();
const mock = new MockPlugin(instance);

// Mock any GET request to /users
// arguments for reply are (status, data, headers)
mock.onGet('/users').reply(
  200,
  {
    users: [{ id: 1, name: 'John Smith' }],
  },
  {
    'X-Custom-Response-Header': '123',
  }
);

instance.get('/users').then(function (response) {
  console.log(response.data);
  console.log(response.headers.get('X-Custom-Response-Header')); // 123
});

// Mock GET request to /users when param `searchText` is 'John'
// arguments for reply are (status, data, headers)
mock.onGet('/users', { params: { searchText: 'John' } }).reply(200, {
  users: [{ id: 1, name: 'John Smith' }],
});

instance.get('/users', { params: { searchText: 'John' } }).then(function (response) {
  console.log(response.data);
});

with POST:

import xior from 'xior';
import MockPlugin from 'xior/plugins/mock';

const instance = xior.create();
const mock = new MockPlugin(instance);

// Mock any POST request to /users
// arguments for reply are (status, data, headers)
mock.onPost('/users').reply(
  200,
  {
    users: [{ id: 1, name: 'John Smith' }],
  },
  {
    'X-Custom-Response-Header': '123',
  }
);

instance.post('/users').then(function (response) {
  console.log(response.data);
  console.log(response.headers.get('X-Custom-Response-Header')); // 123
});

// Mock POST request to /users when param `searchText` is 'John'
// arguments for reply are (status, data, headers)
mock.onPost('/users', null, { params: { searchText: 'John' } }).reply(200, {
  users: [{ id: 1, name: 'John Smith' }],
});

instance.get('/users', null, { params: { searchText: 'John' } }).then(function (response) {
  console.log(response.data);
});

// Mock POST request to /users when body `searchText` is 'John'
// arguments for reply are (status, data, headers)
mock.onPost('/users', { searchText: 'John' }).reply(200, {
  users: [{ id: 1, name: 'John Smith' }],
});

Create your own custom plugin

xior let you easily to create custom plugins.

Here are examples:

  1. Simple Logging plugin:
import xior from 'xior';

const instance = xior.create();
instance.plugins.use(function logPlugin(adapter) {
  return async (config) => {
    const start = Date.now();
    const res = await adapter(config);
    console.log('%s %s %s take %sms', config.method, config.url, res.status, Date.now() - start);
    return res;
  };
});
  1. Check built-in plugins get more inspiration:

Check src/plugins

Helper functions

xior has built-in helper functions, may useful for you:

import lru from 'tiny-lru';
import {
  encodeParams,
  merge as deepMerge,
  delay as sleep,
  buildSortedURL,
  isAbsoluteURL,

FAQ

xior frequently asked questions.

1. Is xior 100% compatiable with axios?

No, but xior offers a similar API like axios: axios.create / axios.interceptors / .get/post/put/patch/delete/head/options.

2. Can I use xior in projects like Bun, Expo, React Native, Next.js, Vue, or Nuxt.js?

Yes, xior works anywhere where the native fetch API is supported. Even if the environment doesn't support fetch, you can use a fetch polyfill like for older browsers.

3. How do I handle responses with types like 'stream', 'document', 'arraybuffer', or 'blob'?

To handle such responses, use the responseType: 'stream' option in your request:

import xior from 'xior';

const http = xior.create({ baseURL });

const { response } = await http.post<{ file: any; body: Record<string, string> }>(
  '/stream/10',
  null,
  { responseType: 'stream' }
);
const reader = response.body!.getReader();
let chunk;
for await (chunk of readChunks(reader)) {
  console.log(`received chunk of size ${chunk.length}`);
}

5. How do I support older browsers?

You can use a polyfill for the fetch API. Check the file src/tests/polyfill.test.ts for a potential example.

6. Why is xior named "xior"?

The original name axior was unavailable on npm, so when removed the "a": axior.

7. Where can I ask additional questions?

If you have any questions, feel free to create issues.

Migrate from axios to xior

GET

axios:

import axios from 'axios';

// Make a request for a user with a given ID
axios
  .get('/user?ID=12345')
  .then(function (response) {
    // handle success
    console.log(response);
  })
  .catch(function (error) {
    // handle error
    console.log(error);
  })
  .finally(function () {
    // always executed
  });

// Optionally the request above could also be done as
axios
  .get('/user', {
    params: {
      ID: 12345,
    },
  })
  .then(function (response) {
    console.log(response);
  })
  .catch(function (error) {
    console.log(error);
  })
  .finally(function () {
    // always executed
  });

// Want to use async/await? Add the `async` keyword to your outer function/method.
async function getUser() {
  try {
    const response = await axios.get('/user?ID=12345');
    console.log(response);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
}

xior:

import axios from 'xior';

// Make a request for a user with a given ID
axios
  .get('/user?ID=12345')
  .then(function (response) {
    // handle success
    console.log(response);
  })
  .catch(function (error) {
    // handle error
    console.log(error);
  })
  .finally(function () {
    // always executed
  });

// Optionally the request above could also be done as
axios
  .get('/user', {
    params: {
      ID: 12345,
    },
  })
  .then(function (response) {
    console.log(response);
  })
  .catch(function (error) {
    console.log(error);
  })
  .finally(function () {
    // always executed
  });

// Want to use async/await? Add the `async` keyword to your outer function/method.
async function getUser() {
  try {
    const response = await axios.get('/user?ID=12345');
    console.log(response);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
}

POST

axios
  .post('/user', {
    firstName: 'Fred',
    lastName: 'Flintstone',
  })
  .then(function (response) {
    console.log(response);
  })
  .catch(function (error) {
    console.log(error);
  });

xior:

import axios from 'xior';

axios
  .post('/user', {
    firstName: 'Fred',
    lastName: 'Flintstone',
  })
  .then(function (response) {
    console.log(response);
  })
  .catch(function (error) {
    console.log(error);
  });

axios(requestObj): axios({ method: 'get', params: { a: 1 } })

axios:

import axios from 'axios';

await axios({ method: 'get', params: { a: 1 } });

xior:

import xior from 'xior';

const axios = xior.create();

await axios.request({ method: 'get', params: { a: 1 } });

Creating an instance

axios:

import axios from 'axios';
const instance = axios.create({
  baseURL: 'https://some-domain.com/api/',
  timeout: 1000,
  headers: { 'X-Custom-Header': 'foobar' },
});

xior:

import axios from 'xior';
const instance = axios.create({
  baseURL: 'https://some-domain.com/api/',
  timeout: 1000,
  headers: { 'X-Custom-Header': 'foobar' },
});

Get response headers

axios:

import axios from 'axios';

const axiosInstance = axios.create({
  baseURL: 'https://apiexampledomian.com/api',
});

const { data, headers } = await axiosInstance.get('/');

console.log(headers['X-Header-Name']);

xior:

import xior from 'xior';

const xiorInstance = xior.create({
  baseURL: 'https://apiexampledomian.com/api',

  response.data.pipe(fs.createWriteStream('ada_lovelace.jpg'));
});

import xior from 'xior';
const axios = xior.create();

axios
  .get('https://bit.ly/2mTM3nY', {
    responseType: 'stream',
  })
  .then(async function ({ response, config }) {
    const buffer = Buffer.from(await response.arrayBuffer());
    return writeFile('ada_lovelace.jpg', buffer);
  });

Use stream

import axios from 'axios';
import { Readable } from 'stream';

const http = axios.create();

async function getStream(url: string, params: Record<string, any>) {
  const { data } = await http.get(url, {
    params,
    responseType: 'stream',
  });
  return data;
}

xior:

import axxios from 'xior';
import { Readable } from 'stream';

const http = axios.create();

async function getStream(url: string, params: Record<string, any>) {
  const { response } = await http.get(url, {
    params,
    responseType: 'stream',
  });
  const stream = convertResponseToReadable(response);
  return stream;
}

function convertResponseToReadable(response: Response): Readable {
  const reader = response.body.getReader();
  return new Readable({
    async read() {
      const { done, value } = await reader.read();
      if (done) {
        this.push(null);

      }
    },
  });
}

Migrate from fetch to xior

GET

import xior from 'xior';

const http = xior.create({
  baseURL: 'http://example.com',
});
async function logMovies() {
  const { data: movies } = await http.get('/movies.json', {
    params: {
      page: 1,
      perPage: 10,
    },
  });
  console.log(movies);
}

POST

fetch:

// Example POST method implementation:
async function postData(url = '', data = {}) {
  // Default options are marked with *
  const response = await fetch(url, {
    method: 'POST', // *GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.
    mode: 'cors', // no-cors, *cors, same-origin
    cache: 'no-cache', // *default, no-cache, reload, force-cache, only-if-cached
    credentials: 'same-origin', // include, *same-origin, omit
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      // 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
    },
    redirect: 'follow', // manual, *follow, error
    referrerPolicy: 'no-referrer', // no-referrer, *no-referrer-when-downgrade, origin, origin-when-cross-origin, same-origin, strict-origin, strict-origin-when-cross-origin, unsafe-url
    body: JSON.stringify(data), // body data type must match "Content-Type" header
  });
  return response.json(); // parses JSON response into native JavaScript objects
}

postData('https://example.com/answer', { answer: 42 }).then((data) => {
  console.log(data); // JSON data parsed by `data.json()` call
});

xior:

import xior from 'xior';

const http = xior.create({
  baseURL: 'http://example.com',
});

http
  .post(
    '/answer',
    { answer: 42 },
    {
      mode: 'cors', // no-cors, *cors, same-origin
      cache: 'no-cache', // *default, no-cache, reload, force-cache, only-if-cached
      credentials: 'same-origin', // include, *same-origin, omit
      headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        // 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
      },
      redirect: 'follow', // manual, *follow, error
      referrerPolicy: 'no-referrer', // no-referrer, *no-referrer-when-downgrade, origin, origin-when-cross-origin, same-origin, strict-origin, strict-origin-when-cross-origin, unsafe-url
    }
  )
  .then(({ data }) => {
    console.log(data);
  });

Abort a fetch

fetch:

const controller = new AbortController();
const signal = controller.signal;
const url = 'video.mp4';

const downloadBtn = document.querySelector('#download');
const abortBtn = document.querySelector('#abort');

downloadBtn.addEventListener('click', async () => {
  try {
    const response = await fetch(url, { signal });
    console.log('Download complete', response);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(`Download error: ${error.message}`);
  }
});

abortBtn.addEventListener('click', () => {
  controller.abort();
  console.log('Download aborted');
});

xior:

import xior from 'xior';

const http = xior.create();

const controller = new AbortController();
const signal = controller.signal;
const url = 'video.mp4';

const downloadBtn = document.querySelector('#download');
const abortBtn = document.querySelector('#abort');

downloadBtn.addEventListener('click', async () => {
  try {
    const response = await http.get(url, { signal });
    console.log('Download complete', response);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(`Download error: ${error.message}`);
  }
});

abortBtn.addEventListener('click', () => {
  controller.abort();
  console.log('Download aborted');
});

Sending a request with credentials included

fetch:

fetch('https://example.com', {
  credentials: 'include',
});

xior:

import xior from 'xior';

const http = xior.create();

http.get('https://example.com', {
  credentials: 'include',
});

Uploading a file

fetch:

async function upload(formData) {
  try {
    const response = await fetch('https://example.com/profile/avatar', {
      method: 'PUT',
      body: formData,
    });
    const result = await response.json();
    console.log('Success:', result);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error:', error);
  }
}

const formData = new FormData();
const fileField = document.querySelector('input[type="file"]');

formData.append('username', 'abc123');
formData.append('avatar', fileField.files[0]);

upload(formData);

xior:

import xior from 'xior';

const http = xior.create({
  baseURL: 'https://example.com',
});

async function upload(formData) {
  try {
    const { data: result } = await http.put('/profile/avatar', formData);
    console.log('Success:', result);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error:', error);
  }
}

const formData = new FormData();
const fileField = document.querySelector('input[type="file"]');

formData.append('username', 'abc123');
formData.append('avatar', fileField.files[0]);

upload(formData);

Processing a text file line by line

fetch:

async function* makeTextFileLineIterator(fileURL) {
  const utf8Decoder = new TextDecoder('utf-8');
  const response = await fetch(fileURL);
  const reader = response.body.getReader();
  let { value: chunk, done: readerDone } = await reader.read();
  chunk = chunk ? utf8Decoder.decode(chunk) : '';

  const newline = /\r?\n/gm;
  let startIndex = 0;
  let result;

  while (true) {
    const result = newline.exec(chunk);
    if (!result) {
      if (readerDone) break;
      const remainder = chunk.substr(startIndex);
      ({ value: chunk, done: readerDone } = await reader.read());
      chunk = remainder + (chunk ? utf8Decoder.decode(chunk) : '');
      startIndex = newline.lastIndex = 0;
      continue;
    }
    yield chunk.substring(startIndex, result.index);
    startIndex = newline.lastIndex;
  }

  if (startIndex < chunk.length) {
    // Last line didn't end in a newline char
    yield chunk.substr(startIndex);
  }
}

async function run() {
  for await (const line of makeTextFileLineIterator(urlOfFile)) {
    processLine(line);
  }
}

run();

xior:

Good to Know: add {responseType: 'stream'} options will tell xior no need process response, and return original response in format {response}

import xior from 'xior';

const http = xior.create();

async function* makeTextFileLineIterator(fileURL) {
  const utf8Decoder = new TextDecoder('utf-8');
  const { response } = await http.get(fileURL, { responseType: 'stream' });
  const reader = response.body.getReader();
  let { value: chunk, done: readerDone } = await reader.read();
  chunk = chunk ? utf8Decoder.decode(chunk) : '';

  const newline = /\r?\n/gm;
  let startIndex = 0;
  let result;

  while (true) {
    const result = newline.exec(chunk);
    if (!result) {
      if (readerDone) break;
      const remainder = chunk.substr(startIndex);
      ({ value: chunk, done: readerDone } = await reader.read());
      chunk = remainder + (chunk ? utf8Decoder.decode(chunk) : '');
      startIndex = newline.lastIndex = 0;
      continue;
    }
    yield chunk.substring(startIndex, result.index);
    startIndex = newline.lastIndex;
  }

  if (startIndex < chunk.length) {
    // Last line didn't end in a newline char
    yield chunk.substr(startIndex);
  }
}

async function run() {
  for await (const line of makeTextFileLineIterator(urlOfFile)) {
    processLine(line);
  }
}

run();

Thanks

Without the support of these resources, xior wouldn't be possible:
