fetch-min

library1.0.0jsnpmunverified

Minified fork of whatwg-fetch providing a polyfill for the Fetch API in browsers that don't support it natively. Version 1.0.0 mirrors whatwg-fetch functionality but reduces file size. Releases are infrequent and tied to whatwg-fetch versions. Differentiator: smaller bundle footprint vs the upstream polyfill. Not recommended for new projects; use native fetch or more actively maintained polyfills.

Code

Verified usage

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

fetch

✓ import 'fetch-min'

✗ const fetch = require('fetch-min')

This polyfill adds fetch to global scope on import. No named export.

Headers

✓ import 'fetch-min'

✗ import { Headers } from 'fetch-min'

Headers is a global after side-effect import.

Request

✓ import 'fetch-min'

✗ import { Request } from 'fetch-min'

Request is added to global scope.

Response

✓ import 'fetch-min'

✗ import { Response } from 'fetch-min'

Response is added to global scope.

Shows how to import the polyfill and use the global fetch function to make a GET request and handle the response.

import 'fetch-min'; fetch('https://example.com/api/data') .then(response => { if (!response.ok) throw new Error('Network response was not ok'); return response.json(); }) .then(data => console.log(data)) .catch(error => console.error('Fetch error:', error));

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe package name is 'fetch-min' but the import is side-effect only; no named exports exist.

fix

Use import 'fetch-min' and rely on global fetch, Headers, Request, Response.

affects: >=1.0.0

deprecatedThe package replicates whatwg-fetch which is in maintenance mode. Consider using native fetch or a modern polyfill like cross-fetch.

fix

Use native fetch where available or switch to cross-fetch.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaThe minified file may be obfuscated, making debugging harder in development.

fix

Use the unminified whatwg-fetch directly for development.

affects: >=1.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Uncaught TypeError: Failed to fetch

The polyfill is not imported before fetch is called, or the environment lacks fetch support and the polyfill is not loaded.

fix

Ensure 'fetch-min' is imported at the entry point of your application (e.g., import 'fetch-min';).

fetch is not defined

The import is not executed (e.g., tree-shaken) or the polyfill is not loaded.

fix

Import the polyfill as a side effect: import 'fetch-min'; at the top of your app.

Cannot find module 'fetch-min'

Package not installed or not in node_modules.

fix

Run npm install fetch-min or yarn add fetch-min.
