sync-fetch

Synchronous wrapper around the Fetch API. Uses node-fetch under the hood, and for some input-parsing code and test cases too.


Install

npm install sync-fetch

Use

``js
const fetch = require('sync-fetch')

const metadata = fetch('https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj-cs.214', {
headers: {
Accept: 'application/vnd.citationstyles.csl+json'
}
}).json()
// json(), arrayBuffer(), text() and buffer() supported
`

Limitations

$3

- Does not support Streams (or FormData) as input bodies since they cannot be read or serialized synchronously
- Does not support Blobs as input bodies since they're too complex
- Does not support the non-spec agent option as its value cannot be serialized

$3

- Does not support most options, since XMLHttpRequest is pretty limited. Supported are:
- method
- body
- headers
- credentials (but not omit)
- (Non-spec) timeout`
- Does not support binary responses in the main thread
- CORS limitations apply, of course (note they may be stricter for synchronous requests)
