Show HN: Fetchet – A compact, promise-based, HTTP fetch wrapper

2 points by Brysonbw a day ago

There are plenty of HTTP clients out there - Axios being one of the most popular - but I wanted something minimal and closer to the native fetch API.

I originally wrote a small fetch wrapper for a side project. Rather than copying and pasting it into other projects, I decided to expand on it and publish it as a public package.

Feel free to star the repo, and more importantly, contribute.

You should lead with some deets about why you would use this vs just using `fetch` directly.

``` await fetchet('https://dummyjson.com/posts').then((response) => console.log(response)) ```

This is the first code sample and if I'm not mistaken you could s/fetchet/fetch and it would do the exact same thing?

Thanks for the feedback, and correct.
'Additions to fetch()` section in repo README.md would answer why someone would use the lib vs fetch: https://github.com/brysonbw/fetchet?tab=readme-ov-file#addti....

  I’m still confused why you would use this? Syntactic boilerplate? Saves keystrokes?
