  • Storyblok/Svelte v3.0.0. is here 🎉
    3 projects | dev.to | 17 Apr 2023
    This new version uses the latest version of our js-client - which means we are finally removing Axios in favor of native Fetch API (polyfillable via isomorphic-fetch).
  • Use fetch instead of ajax with redux-observable
    2 projects | /r/codehunter | 8 Apr 2023
    In redux-observable is it possible to use isomporphic-fetch instead of Rx.DOM.ajax?
  • Storyblok Nuxt 3 news 🗞
    2 projects | dev.to | 24 Feb 2023
    The SDK now uses the Fetch API under the hood. If your environment doesn't support it, install a polyfill like isomorphic-fetch. More information can be found on the storyblok-js-client README.
  • Storyblok Gatsby SDK is free from axios✨
    3 projects | dev.to | 23 Jan 2023
    You don't need to install extra isomorphic-fetch into your Storyblok & Gatsby applications.
  • Stop polyfilling fetch in your npm package
    10 projects | dev.to | 10 Jan 2023
    You can get around some of the above issues using a library called isomorphic-fetch, but not all of them. It also hasn’t been updated since 2015, and is locked on v2.x of node-fetch (whereas v3 has been out for some time now)
  • fetch patch request is not allowed
    2 projects | /r/codehunter | 13 May 2022
    I have been happily using isomorphic-fetch till I needed to send PATCH method to the server.
  • React server-side fetch (asynchronous rendering)
    1 project | /r/codehunter | 7 May 2022
    import React from 'react';export default class RemoteText extends React.PureComponent { constructor(props) { super(props); this.state = {text: null}; fetch(props.src).then(res => res.text()).then(text => { this.setState({text}); }) } render() { if(this.state.text) { return {this.state.text}; } return null; }} Even if I use isomorphic-fetch, I get this warning:
  • What is the difference between isomorphic-fetch and fetch?
    2 projects | /r/codehunter | 29 Apr 2022
  • Centralized/modularized Axios implementation?
    1 project | /r/reactjs | 3 Jan 2022
    Not to play devil's advocate or anything, but in all fairness, fetch can use an AbortController to be cancellable. Also, it/they can easily be supported in older browsers through a polyfill, which is substantially lighter on bundle size than Axios, esp for newer browsers where the polyfills adds no new code. Short digression: I love isomorphic-fetch because it polyfills fetch in both old browsers and NodeJS, meaning I only need to remember one simple API (fetch) for network calls regardless of the environment. I'd much rather have to learn only one stable, native API than add on additional third party APIs that can change over time or require additional plugins to make it work (e.g. moxios).
