redaxios

library0.5.1jsnpmunverified

A tiny, 800-byte wrapper around the native Fetch API that provides the same API as Axios. Version 0.5.1 is the latest stable release. It is designed as a lightweight alternative to Axios for modern browsers and environments where Fetch is available. Unlike Axios, it has no built-in progress events, no automatic JSON parsing for errors, and no support for older browsers without a fetch polyfill. It is best suited for reducing bundle size when full Axios is not needed.

Code

Verified usage

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

default (axios)

✓ import axios from 'redaxios'

✗ const axios = require('redaxios')

Package is ESM-only; CommonJS require() will fail unless using a bundler that handles ESM.

use default export as function to create instance

✓ import axios from 'redaxios'; const instance = axios.create({ baseURL: 'https://api.example.com' })

✗ import { create } from 'redaxios'

Only default export is provided; named exports like create do not exist.

type imports (TypeScript)

✓ import type { AxiosInstance, AxiosRequestConfig, AxiosResponse } from 'redaxios'

TypeScript types are bundled with the package; reuse types from Axios for consistency.

Fetches repository info from GitHub using the Axios-like API provided by redaxios.

import axios from 'redaxios'; async function main() { const response = await axios.get('https://api.github.com/repos/developit/redaxios'); console.log(response.data); } main().catch(console.error);

Debug

Known issues

gotchaError responses may not include a parsed JSON body like Axios does; the data property may be a string or undefined.

fix

Manually parse error responses with try-catch and JSON.parse() if needed.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaNo support for request cancellation via CancelToken; use AbortController instead.

fix

Pass an AbortSignal via the signal option in the request config.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaNo progress event support (e.g., onUploadProgress).

fix

Fall back to using fetch directly if progress events are required.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaOld environment? You must polyfill fetch and Promise yourself.

fix

Include a fetch polyfill like whatwg-fetch and ensure Promise support.

affects: >=0.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Cannot find module 'redaxios'

Missing installation or incorrect import path

fix

Run 'npm install redaxios' and ensure import statement is correct.

TypeError: axios.get is not a function

Using named imports instead of default import

fix

Use 'import axios from 'redaxios'' instead of '{ axios }'.

Uncaught ReferenceError: fetch is not defined

Running in a non-browser environment or older Node.js without fetch support

fix

Use Node.js version 18+ or install a fetch polyfill like 'node-fetch'.

Cannot read property 'data' of undefined

Assuming Axios behavior where error responses always have a data property

fix

Check the response object shape and handle non-JSON responses manually.
