nodeify-fetch

The nodeify-fetch package provides a Node.js Readable stream interface for fetch. In the browser, the built-in fetch is used. In a Node.js environment, node-fetch it's used.

Since version 3.0, this packages is ESM only. Check version 2.x if you are looking for a CommonJS package.

Usage

The only difference to the fetch standard is the .body property. nodeify-fetch patches the .body to a readable stream:

import { promisify } from 'util'
import fetch from 'nodeify-fetch'
import { finished } from 'readable-stream'

async function main () {
  const res = await fetch('http://worldtimeapi.org/api/timezone/etc/UTC')

  if (!res.ok) {
    console.log(`error ${res.statusText}(${res.status})`)
  }

  res.body.on('data', chunk => console.log(chunk.toString()))

  await promisify(finished)(res.body)
}

main()
