curl-to-fetch

library1.2.1jsnpmunverified

Library to parse curl command strings and generate equivalent fetch() API code. Stable version 1.2.1. Low maintenance, limited updates. Differentiator: lightweight alternative to curlconverter with support for common curl flags via parse-curl.js. Outputs fetch() with .then(console.log, console.error) chained. Limited to GET requests and cookie headers; does not support full HTTP method/payload translation.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

default

✓ const parse = require('curl-to-fetch');

✗ import parse from 'curl-to-fetch';

Package uses CommonJS, not ESM. No named exports.

parse

✓ const parse = require('curl-to-fetch');

✗ const { parse } = require('curl-to-fetch');

Export is a single function, not a named export.

Parses a curl command and logs the equivalent fetch() call.

const parse = require('curl-to-fetch'); const curlCmd = "curl --cookie 'species=sloth;type=galactic' slothy https://api.sloths.com"; const fetchCode = parse(curlCmd); console.log(fetchCode); // Output: // fetch( // 'https://api.sloths.com', // {headers:{"Set-Cookie":"species=sloth;type=galactic"}, // method:'GET'} // ) // .then(console.log, console.error)

Debug

Known issues

gotchaOutput always uses GET method; POST, PUT etc. not supported.

fix

Manually modify method in fetch call if needed.

affects: <=1.2.1

gotchaCookies are output as Set-Cookie header, not as credentials option.

fix

Use credentials: 'include' or set manual cookie header.

affects: <=1.2.1

gotchaThe generated fetch code includes .then(console.log, console.error) which may not be desired.

fix

Remove or modify the .then chain after code generation.

affects: <=1.2.1

gotchaOnly parses first URL from input; multiple URLs ignored.

fix

Split input and parse each curl command separately.

affects: <=1.2.1
