d2l-fetch-dedupe

Provides a middleware function for de-duplicating fetch requests for the same url+auth combination

Setup

``sh
npm ci
`

Usage

Reference the script in your html after your reference to d2l-fetch (see here for details on d2l-fetch):

Install d2l-fetch-dedupe via npm:
`sh
npm install d2l-fetch-dedupe
`

`javascript
import { fetchDedupe } from 'd2l-fetch-dedupe';
`

This will import the auth middleware

$3

Install the dedupe middleware to d2lfetch via the use function and then start making your requests.

`js
d2lfetch.use({name: 'dedupe' fn: fetchDedupe});
const response = await d2lfetch.fetch(
new Request('http://example.com/api/someentity/')
);
`

Requests are deduped based on the combination of url and Authorization request header value.
Any request that matches an existing in-flight request based on this combination will not result
in a subsequent network request but will rather be given a promise that resolves to a clone of
the inflight request's Response.
