node-fetch-core

library1.0.0jsnpmunverified

A lightweight core set of fetch utilities optimized for Node.js environments, version 1.0.0. Provides a minimal, dependency-light implementation of the Fetch API spec tailored for server-side use, with support for streaming, timeouts, and custom agents. Differentiates from full-featured libraries like node-fetch by focusing on a lean core for building custom fetch wrappers.

Code

Verified usage

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

default

✓ import fetchCore from 'node-fetch-core'

✗ const fetchCore = require('node-fetch-core');

This package is ESM-only. CommonJS require will fail unless using dynamic import().

RequestInit

✓ import type { RequestInit } from 'node-fetch-core'

✗ import { RequestInit } from 'node-fetch-core';

Use 'import type' for type imports in TypeScript to avoid runtime errors.

AbortError

✓ import { AbortError } from 'node-fetch-core'

✗ import AbortError from 'node-fetch-core';

AbortError is a named export, not default.

Shows how to make a fetch request with timeout using AbortController.

import fetchCore from 'node-fetch-core'; import { AbortController } from 'node-fetch-core'; // or from 'abort-controller' if not bundled async function getData() { const controller = new AbortController(); const timeout = setTimeout(() => controller.abort(), 5000); try { const response = await fetchCore('https://api.example.com/data', { signal: controller.signal }); const data = await response.json(); console.log(data); } catch (err) { if (err.name === 'AbortError') { console.error('Request timed out'); } else { console.error(err); } } finally { clearTimeout(timeout); } } getData();

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThis package is ESM-only. Using require() will throw an error. Use dynamic import() or configure your project for ESM.

fix

Use import() syntax or set "type": "module" in your package.json.

affects: >=1.0.0

breakingAbortController is not included by default in Node.js <15. You may need to polyfill it.

fix

Install 'abort-controller' polyfill for Node.js <15 or upgrade Node.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaThe returned Response object does not support .body (readable stream) in Node.js <18 without additional polyfill.

fix

Use response.buffer() or response.text() instead, or ensure Node.js >=18.

affects: >=1.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ERR_REQUIRE_ESM

Using require() on an ESM-only package.

fix

Switch to import() or set "type": "module" in package.json.

TypeError: AbortController is not a constructor

Missing polyfill for AbortController in older Node.js versions.

fix

Install 'abort-controller' with npm install abort-controller and import it.

TypeError: response.body is undefined

Trying to access .body (ReadableStream) in Node.js <18.

fix

Use response.buffer() or response.text() for reading the response.
