Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

got-fetch

NPM Release workflow semantic-release: angular npm npm

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

Why would you use this instead of got? Sometimes you might need a fetch wrapper and this is it (e.g. Apollo uses fetch to query remote schemas).

Before you install

If you're using on NodeJS v18 or greater than you should be using its global fetch. It's better integrated, better supported and has more features.

Native fetch

Install

Support table:

|got-fetch version|works with got version|Notes | |-------------------|------------------------|-------------------------------------| |^5.0.0 |^12.0.0 |ESM package. You have to use import| |^4.0.0 |^11.0.0 |CJS package. You can use require |

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

npm install --save got got-fetch

For CommonJS support, we maintain v4 of this package.

Usage

Use the default export:

import fetch from 'got-fetch';

// in ESM we can use top-level await
const resp = await fetch('https://example.com');

console.log(resp.status); // 200
console.log(await resp.text()); // a HTML document

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

import got from 'got';
import { createFetch } from '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:

  • RequestMode no-cors, same-origin, navigate
  • RequestCache only-if-cached
  • RequestRedirect error, manual
  • ❌ response body streaming. See https://github.com/alexghr/got-fetch/issues/25
  • ❗ ESM vs CJS packages. See https://github.com/alexghr/got-fetch/issues/70
  • RequestHeaders must be a plain object
  • RequestCache if unset (or default) will use got's caching algorithm (any other value will disable caching)
