a-fetch

library1.3.3jsnpmunverified

a-fetch (v1.3.3) allows you to name your API routes and request them by route name, supporting GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE. It provides a clean and structured way to manage API calls, especially in React projects. The package is actively maintained with moderate release cadence. It differentiates by offering a simple naming convention over manual fetch calls, reducing boilerplate.

Shows how to create an Api instance with named routes and perform a GET request.

import Api from 'a-fetch'; const api = new Api({ baseURL: process.env.API_BASE_URL ?? 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com', routes: { posts: { get: { method: 'GET', path: '/posts' }, create: { method: 'POST', path: '/posts' } } } }); async function fetchPosts() { const { data } = await api.posts.get(); console.log(data); } fetchPosts();

Debug

Known issues

gotchaRoute names must match the property used to call them; typos cause silent failures.

fix

Use TypeScript or double-check route names in the config.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaThe default export Api is a class and must be instantiated with 'new'.

fix

Always use 'new Api(...)'.

affects: >=1.0.0

breakingVersion 1.2 changed the method names from 'fetch' to 'get', 'create', etc.

fix

Update method calls to use the new names.

affects: >=1.2.0 <1.2.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Uncaught TypeError: api.posts.get is not a function

Route 'posts' not configured or 'get' method not defined in routes.

fix

Check that the route configuration includes a 'posts' object with a 'get' property.

Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'data')

The response object might not contain 'data' or the request failed.

fix

Use try-catch and log the full response to inspect structure.
