Fetcher

Friendly fetch with full capabilities.

Getting started

Use a fetch-like function with extra features, thanks to provided decorators.

import { Fetcher } from 'https://deno.land/x/fetcher/mod.ts'

type Data = { name: string; username: string }

const email = 'Lucio_Hettinger@annie.ca'

const baseURL = 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com'
const fetcher = Fetcher({ baseURL })
try {
  console.log('Fetching /users from jsonplaceholder…')
  const data: Data[] = await fetcher.fetch(
    '/users',
    { query: { email }, timeout: 5000 },
  )
  const { name, username } = data[0]
  console.log('Success!')
  console.log('Result:', { name, username })
} catch (err) {
  console.error(err)
}

Features

• Base URL :
  • add the ability to set a base URL and then use a simple relative value in url, usefull when fetch is used multiple times to request the same base URL (DRY).
  • add BaseURLOptions support to fetch options.
• Basic auth :
  • add authentication ability based on Basic Auth credentials
  • add BasicAuthOptions support to fetch options.
• Bearer :
  • add authentification ability based on a token in request header
  • add BearerOptions support to fetch options.
• Defaults :
  • add ability to set default options at Fetcher creation.
• Error handling :
  • add error throwing abilitty when a response send an HTTP error
  • add ErrorHandlingOptions support to fetch options.
• JSON response & payload :
  • add support for JSON response and JSON payload
  • return the response body object (JSON data) instead of a Response
  • add JsonOptions support to fetch options.
• Query params :
  • add support for request query parameters as a plain object
  • add QueryParamsOptions support to fetch options.
• Timeout :
  • add a timeout feature, aborting the request whenever the server did not respond until the specified duration
  • add TimeoutOptions support to fetch options.

Usecases

Fetcher() returns a fetcher object decorated with all the decorators, enabling all the features in one.

If you don’t need all the features, feel free to customize your fetcher instance with the decorators you want with defaultOptions and config arguments.

Examples :

• POST a JSON payload with a base URL

  import type {
    BaseURLOptions,
    JsonFetcher,
    JsonOptions,
  } from 'https://deno.land/x/fetcher/mod.ts'
  import { Fetcher } from 'https://deno.land/x/fetcher/mod.ts'
  
  const baseURL = 'https://dummyjson.com'
  const username = 'kminchelle'
  const password = '0lelplR'
  
  const fetcher = Fetcher<
    JsonFetcher<BaseURLOptions & JsonOptions & RequestInit>
  >(
    { baseURL },
    {
      useBaseURL: true,
      useDefaults: true,
      useJson: true,
    },
  )
  
  type Data = {
    id: number
    username: string
    email: string
    firstName: string
    lastName: string
    gender: string
    image: string
    token: string
  }
  
  const data = await fetcher.fetch<Data>('/auth/login', {
    method: 'POST',
    json: { username, password },
  })
  
  console.log('data:', data)
