window.fetch polyfill VS hyperscript

Most js libraries use XMLHttpRequest and so provide HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH: XMLHttpRequest, but neither Chrome's implementation nor Github's polyfill of the new fetch uses a similar header. So how can one detect that the request is AJAX?

In this case, Github offers a great fetch polyfill for browsers: https://github.com/github/fetch

You can polyfill fetch() if that's a concern:

I'm using this fetch polyfill in Redux with redux-promise-middleware.

I'm struggling to find documentation or examples of implementing an upload progress indicator using fetch.

I would just polyfill fetch if that were the case.

There is also a working integration with Django that enables the use of neat-html as a template backend, however it isn't up on GitHub yet.

I find the space of HTML generation libraries which can leverage the power of Python, really interesting.

In fairness, there's a lot of overlap between embedded DSLs and libraries — a library like Hyperscript for generating HTML in JavaScript is in many ways a DSL, but it's also just a bunch of functions that are easy to put together in a particular way. But this is often good enough!

Hyperscript (https://github.com/hyperhype/hyperscript) is actually quite nice when you get used to it, and I actually prefer it over JSX. Pair it with something like microh[0], and it gets even better.

I believe you are talking about this hyperscript: https://hyperscript.org/

Whereas the parent post is talking about: https://github.com/hyperhype/hyperscript

Unfortunately, the creator of https://hyperscript.org/ hijacked the name even when the term "hyperscript" is still used to refer to dominictarr's project and the `h('p', 'hello world') API of declaring templates in JavaScript (as seen in React, Preact, Mithril, etc.).

The naming of this project clashes horribly with https://github.com/hyperhype/hyperscript. It's not like it's in a different ecosystem or something. It is a web project that is guaranteed to cause confusion.

With Mithril.js, you generate HTML using a hyperscript dialect like this:

Hyperscript already has an established meaning in this space, as a pure JS-based syntax alternative to JSX.

See https://github.com/hyperhype/hyperscript and all its descendants, like Mithril, HyperApp or Sinuous.

Could you please think of another name ?

I'm confused. Hyperscript is supposed to be an alternative way to writing JSX.

Hyperscript.org doesn't seem to be related to this at all?

https://github.com/hyperhype/hyperscript

The reason is dead simple. It's exported as h because it's a hypescript function. So what exactly is hypescript?
