Workaround for React Native

Hi, I’m using isomorphic-fetch in a shared library used by React and React Native. React Native provides its own fetch, so I’m currently using a workaround adapted from github/fetch#125.

if (typeof process !== 'undefined') {
    require('isomorphic-fetch');
}

Just wondering if something like this should be integrated into the isomorphic-fetch library. Thanks.

@matthew-andrews would it be possible to take another look at this? I’m on react native and I’m using some libraries that pull in this one as a dependancy, I’ve had to shrinkwrap them so that they use https://github.com/matthew-andrews/isomorphic-fetch/pull/80 instead.

I understand it’s unfair to expect you to support other people using your library badly, so I have no real expectations here, I just wanted to point out that perhaps the use case is slightly less obscure than you thought.

@sosaucily Shrinkwrap the dependancy… read up on shrinkwrapping in npm, but the short version is you change the dependancy of redux-api-middleware in its package.json to point to https://github.com/matthew-andrews/isomorphic-fetch/pull/80 instead of this npm package (read up on using github branches as dependancies if you’re not sure of the syntax), run npm install then npm shrinkwrap to make sure it sticks.

Caveat of my advice is I can’t remember if this is exactly what I did, and my knowledge of npm is pretty rough
