Wretch

A tiny (~2KB g-zipped) wrapper built around fetch with an intuitive syntax.

Key Features:

• Small: Core is less than 2KB g-zipped.
• Intuitive: Lean API, handles errors, headers, and (de)serialization.
• Immutable: Every call creates a cloned instance for safe reuse.
• Modular: Plug addons to add new features and middlewares to intercept requests.
• Isomorphic: Compatible with modern browsers, Node.js 14+, and Deno.
• Type Safe: Strongly typed, written in TypeScript.
• Proven: Fully covered by unit tests and widely used.
• Maintained: Alive and well for many years.

Use Cases:

Wretch simplifies making HTTP requests in JavaScript applications by providing a more streamlined and intuitive syntax compared to the native fetch API. It's particularly useful for:

• Reducing boilerplate code: Automates common tasks like JSON serialization and error handling.
• Improving code readability: Offers a fluent API for chaining request configurations.
• Enhancing error handling: Automatically throws errors for non-successful HTTP status codes.
• Facilitating code reuse: Immutability allows for creating pre-configured instances for different APIs.
• Extending functionality: Addons and middlewares enable customization and integration with other libraries.
