fetch-plus-plus

A simple isomorphic wrapper around fetch with retries and error handling

Motivation

This package is a simple wrapper around isomorphic-fetch that adds some utilities, such as retries, error handling, as well as doing some automatic conversions of data (like building the query string from an object).

Install

npm install fetch-plus-plus

Usage

const fetch = require('fetch-plus-plus').default
fetch('https://some-json-api.com', {
  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer <some-bearer>',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
  insecure: true,
  method: 'POST',
  queryString: { api: 'some-private-api' },
  retries: 3
}).then(function (jsonResponse) {
  // jsonResponse is a JSON object
})

API

Allows insecure requests (such as self-signed certificates) instead of rejecting them
