Feature request: fetch based adapter

I didn’t see an issue for this (opened or closed), but if this is a duplicate just close it 😸 .

Are there any plans for a fetch based adapter for axios? I thought I’d check and see if this has been discussed, and if not, if you all would be open to a feature request (or I’m happy to work on it and PR it).

Reasons for adding a fetch adapter are basically for the same reasons you’d use fetch:

• Support for service workers
• Integration with Cache API
• natively promise based, so axios can become a thinner library
• response streaming
• probably more that I’m not even thinking of right now

Reasons you’d still want axios wrapping fetch for you (because some people feel like you don’t need a lib over fetch):

• fetch is low level. Using plain fetch in an app that is 99% GET/PUT/POST against a JSON API means lots of duplicate boilerplate code which axios can abstract
• request/response interceptors
• probably more that I’m not even thinking of right now 😄

Agreed. This looks like a dealbreaker for using Axios in PWAs, because the serviceworker can only intercept and cache http requests sent via the fetch api.

this is embarrassing and sad
