⚖️ MIT

Deno Land: exfetch GitHub: hugoalh-studio/exfetch-es JSR: @hugoalh/exfetch NPM: @hugoalh/exfetch

An ES (JavaScript & TypeScript) module to extend fetch.

🌟 Features

  • Ability to cache suitable Request-Responses to reduce network usage and response time.
  • Automatically retry on failure requests, preferentially obey the response header Retry-After.
  • Redirect fine control.
  • Simplify URL paginate requests.

ℹ️ Note

It is possible to use this module in other methods/ways which not listed in here, however it is not officially supported.

#️⃣ Registries Identifier

  • JSR:
    @hugoalh/exfetch
  • NPM:
    @hugoalh/exfetch

ℹ️ Note

  • Although it is recommended to import the entire module, it is also able to import part of the module with sub path if available, please visit file jsr.jsonc property exports for available sub paths.
  • It is recommended to use this module with tag for immutability.

#️⃣ Remote Import Paths

  • Deno Land:
    https://deno.land/x/exfetch[@${Tag}]/mod.ts
  • GitHub Raw: (Require Tag)
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hugoalh-studio/exfetch-es/${Tag}/mod.ts

ℹ️ Note

  • Although it is recommended to import the entire module with the main path mod.ts, it is also able to import part of the module with sub path if available, but do not import if:

    • it’s file path has an underscore prefix (e.g.: _foo.ts, _util/bar.ts), or
    • it is a benchmark or test file (e.g.: foo.bench.ts, foo.test.ts), or
    • it’s symbol has an underscore prefix (e.g.: export function _baz() {}).

    These elements are not considered part of the public API, thus no stability is guaranteed for them.

  • Although there have 3rd party services which provide enhanced, equal, or similar methods/ways to remote import the module, beware these services maybe inject unrelated elements and thus affect the security.

  • It is recommended to use this module with tag for immutability.
