Fetch Ponyfill

WHATWG fetch ponyfill

This module wraps the github/fetch polyfill in a CommonJS module for browserification, and avoids appending anything to the window, instead returning a setup function when fetch-ponyfill is required. Inspired by object-assign.

When used in Node, delegates to node-fetch instead.

Usage

Browserify

const {fetch, Request, Response, Headers} = require('fetch-ponyfill')(options);

Webpack

import fetchPonyfill from 'fetch-ponyfill';
const {fetch, Request, Response, Headers} = fetchPonyfill(options);

Options

Where options is an object with the following optional properties:

option	description
`Promise`	An A+ Promise implementation. Defaults to `window.Promise` in the browser, and `global.Promise` in Node.
`XMLHttpRequest`	The XMLHttpRequest constructor. This is useful to feed in when working with Firefox OS. Defaults to `window.XMLHttpRequest`. Has no effect in Node.
