fetch-absolute

library1.0.0jsnpmunverified

Fetch wrapper that prepends a default base URL to all fetch calls. Version 1.0.0, released as a stable package. It works with both browser's native fetch and node-fetch. Simplifies testing and server-side code by avoiding repetitive URL prefixes. Unlike node-fetch or isomorphic-fetch, it adds a base URL layer without modifying the underlying fetch implementation.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

fetchAbsolute (default)

✓ import fetchAbsolute from 'fetch-absolute';

✗ const { fetchAbsolute } = require('fetch-absolute');

Package exports a single default function; named import is incorrect.

require usage

✓ const fetchAbsolute = require('fetch-absolute');

✗ const fetchAbsolute = require('fetch-absolute').default;

CommonJS require returns the default export directly, no .default needed.

Usage with node-fetch

✓ const fetch = require('node-fetch'); const fetchApi = require('fetch-absolute')(fetch)('http://localhost:3030');

✗ const fetchApi = require('fetch-absolute')('http://localhost:3030');

fetch-absolute requires a fetch function as the first argument; omitting it will cause a TypeError.

Shows how to create an absolute-fetch wrapper using node-fetch and make a request.

const fetch = require('node-fetch'); const fetchAbsolute = require('fetch-absolute'); const fetchApi = fetchAbsolute(fetch)('http://localhost:3030'); async function example() { const response = await fetchApi('/api/data'); const data = await response.json(); console.log(data); } example();

Debug

Known issues

gotchaRequests not starting with '/' are treated as relative; absolute URLs in requests are not automatically prefixed.

fix

Ensure all request paths start with '/' to have the base URL prepended.

affects: <=1.0.0

gotchaDoes not handle pathname merging (e.g. ends with '/' or not); base URL and request path are concatenated directly.

fix

Manually ensure base URL ends with '/' if needed, or request path starts correctly.

affects: <=1.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

TypeError: fetch is not a function

Missing or invalid fetch argument passed to fetchAbsolute.

fix

Ensure you pass a valid fetch function: const fetchAbsolute = require('fetch-absolute'); const fetch = require('node-fetch'); const fetchApi = fetchAbsolute(fetch)('http://localhost:3030');

Error: Only absolute URLs are allowed

Request path doesn't start with '/' and is not an absolute URL.

fix

Prefix your request path with '/': fetchApi('/api/endpoint')
