svix-fetch

library4.0.0jsnpmunverified

svix-fetch (v4.0.0) is a fork of isomorphic-fetch that adds HTTP keep-alive support in Node.js. It is an isomorphic WHATWG Fetch API polyfill for Node.js and browserify. The package is maintained by Svix for internal use and published publicly. It requires explicit installation of the `fetch` polyfill and is only suitable for projects needing the specific keepalive behavior; otherwise, alternatives like isomorphic-fetch or cross-fetch are recommended. Maintenance is minimal.

Verified usage

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

svix-fetch

✓ require('svix-fetch')

✗ import 'svix-fetch'

This package does not export anything; calling require() for its side effects (polyfills global fetch). ESM import may not work as intended; use require for reliable side-effect loading.

fetch

✓ fetch('url')

✗ import fetch from 'svix-fetch'

The package polyfills global fetch, so you call fetch directly after require. It does not export a fetch function.

Demonstrates requiring svix-fetch (polyfills global fetch) and using fetch to make a GET request and process JSON response.

require('svix-fetch'); fetch('https://httpbin.org/get') .then(function(response) { if (!response.ok) { throw new Error('Bad response'); } return response.json(); }) .then(function(data) { console.log(data); }) .catch(function(err) { console.error(err); });
