just-use-native-fetch

library1.0.0jsnpmunverified

A tiny utility package (v1.0.0, no release cadence) that provides an alias for node-fetch, redirecting to the native fetch API available in Node.js 18+ and modern browsers. It avoids unnecessary polyfills and simplifies configuration in Vite projects. Differentiator: minimal alternative to node-fetch for environments where native fetch is sufficient.

Headers class

✓ import { Headers } from 'just-use-native-fetch'

✗ import { Headers } from 'node-fetch'

Also exports native Headers, Request, Response for convenience.

Shows how to alias node-fetch to use native fetch in Vite, then use fetch normally.

// vite.config.js import { defineConfig } from 'vite'; export default defineConfig({ resolve: { alias: { 'node-fetch': 'just-use-native-fetch', }, }, }); // Then in your code import fetch from 'node-fetch'; const response = await fetch('https://api.example.com/data'); const data = await response.json(); console.log(data);

Debug

Known issues

breakingNode.js 18+ required; native fetch not available in older Node versions.

fix

Upgrade Node.js to 18+ or use a real polyfill like node-fetch.

affects: <18.0.0

gotchaThis package is not a drop-in replacement if you rely on node-fetch-specific options like 'compress' or 'highWaterMark'.

fix

Use node-fetch directly or check compatibility of your fetch options with native fetch.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaThis package only works in browser or Node.js 18+; not compatible with Deno or other runtimes out of the box.

fix

Use only in supported environments.

affects: >=1.0.0

Errors

fix

Use dynamic import() or switch to ESM: add 'type': 'module' in package.json or use .mjs extension.

fetch is not defined

Running on Node.js <18 or an older browser that doesn't support native fetch.
