bs-fetch

Low-level bindings to fetch for BuckleScript.

![Last Commit]()
![Size]()

bs-fetch is intended as a thin layer atop the JS API, upon which more high-level and idiomatic libraries can be made. Once such a library has been established, these bindings will likely be refactored to be even thinner.

Example

``reason
Js.Promise.(
Fetch.fetch("/api/hellos/1")
|> then_(Fetch.Response.text)
|> then_(text => print_endline(text) |> resolve)
);
`

Installation

`sh
npm install --save bs-fetch
`

Then add bs-fetch to bs-dependencies in your bsconfig.json:
`js
{
...
"bs-dependencies": ["bs-fetch"]
}
`

Usage


See usage examples in ocaml_examples.ml and reason_examples.re. The source is a single file!

Node.js polyfill

fetch is a Web API that isn't available out-of-the-box in Node.js, and will therefore need to be polyfilled. isomorphic-fetch one such polyfill that seems to work well. Just install it via npm and add [%raw "require('isomorphic-fetch')"] to the top of your main file, but be aware that there are some subtle differences and even parts that are missing entirely.
