fetch

Alwatr Fetch - @alwatr/fetch

Enhanced fetch API with cache strategy, retry pattern, timeout, helper methods and enhanced types written in tiny TypeScript, ES module.

Example usage

fetch(options: FetchOptions): Promise<Response>

It's a wrapper around the browser's fetch function that adds retry pattern with timeout and cacheStrategy.

import {fetch} from 'https://esm.run/@alwatr/fetch';

const response = await fetch({
  url: '/api/products',
  queryParameters: {limit: 10},
  timeout: 5_000,
  retry: 3,
  cacheStrategy: 'stale_while_revalidate',
});

if (!response.ok) throw new Error('fetch_failed');

const productList = await response.json();

console.log(productList);

Fetch Options

FetchOptions inherited from the fetch standard parameters and some other...

• url: Request URL.
• bodyJson: Body as JS Object.
• queryParameters: URL Query Parameters as JS Object.
• timeout: A timeout in ms for the fetch request (default 10_000ms).
• retry: If fetch response not acceptable or timed out, it will retry the request (default 3).
• retryDelay: Delay before each retries (default 1_000).
• removeDuplicate: Simple memory caching for remove duplicate/parallel requests (default never).
  • never: Never use memory caching.
  • always: Always use memory caching and remove all duplicate requests (just by method+url).
  • until_load: Cache parallel requests until request completed (it will be removed after the promise resolved).
  • auto: If CacheStorage was supported use until_load strategy else use always.
• cacheStrategy: Strategies for caching (default network_only).
  • network_only: Only network request without any cache.
  • network_first: Network first, falling back to cache.
  • cache_only: Cache only without any network request.
  • cache_first: Cache first, falling back to network.
  • stale_while_revalidate: Fastest strategy, Use cached first but always request network to update the cache.
• revalidateCallback: Revalidate callback for stale_while_revalidate cache strategy.
• cacheStorageName: Cache storage custom name (default alwatr_fetch_cache).
