Supertiny (4kB minified & 0 dependencies) and strong-typed HTTP client for Deno, Bun, Node.js, Cloudflare Workers and Browsers.

# Node.js
npm install hypf
# Bun
bun install hypf

The idea of this tool is to provide lightweight fetch wrapper for Node.js, Bun:

import hypf from "hypf";

const hypfRequest = hypf.createRequest("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com"); // Pass true for DEBUG mode

// Example usage of POST method with retry and timeout
const [postErr, postData] = await hypfRequest.post(
  "/posts",
  { retries: 3, timeout: 5000 },
  {
    title: "foo",
    body: "bar",
    userId: 1,
  }
);

if (postErr) {
  console.error("POST Error:", postErr);
} else {
  console.log("POST Data:", postData);
}

Cloudflare Workers:

export default {
  async fetch(
    request: Request,
    env: Env,
    ctx: ExecutionContext
  ): Promise<Response> {
    const hypfInstance = await hypf.createRequest(
      "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com"
    );

    const [getErr, getData] = await hypfInstance.get<
      Array<{
        userId: number;
        id: number;
        title: string;
        body: string;
      }>
    >("/posts");

    if (getErr) {
      console.error("GET Error:", getErr);
    }

    return Response.json(getData);
  },
};

and Browsers:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/hypf/dist/hyperfetch-browser.min.js"></script>

<script>
  (async () => {
    const request = hypf.default.createRequest(
      "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com"
    );
  })();
</script>

Why Hyperfetch?

Simple Core

We define things easier with composed functions, ofcourse contribute easier.

get: (url, options, data) => httpMethodFunction(url, options)('GET', options, data),
post: (url, options, data) => httpMethodFunction(url, options)('POST', options, data),
put: (url, options, data) => httpMethodFunction(url, options)('PUT', options, data),
delete: (url, options, data) => httpMethodFunction(url, options)('DELETE', options, data),
patch: (url, options, data) => httpMethodFunction(url, options)('PATCH', options, data),
options: (url, options, data) => httpMethodFunction(url, options)('OPTIONS', options, data),
getAbortController,

Error Handling

No need to write try..catch ! hypf do it like this:

const hypfRequest = hypf.createRequest("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com";

// Example usage of POST method with retry and timeout
const [postErr, postData] = await hypfRequest.post(
    '/posts',
    { retries: 3, timeout: 5000 },
    {
        title: 'foo',
        body: 'bar',
        userId: 1,
    }
);

if (postErr) {
    console.error('POST Error:', postErr);
} else {
    console.log('POST Data:', postData);
}

Hooks

Hooks is supported and expected to not modifying the original result by design.

const hooks = {
  preRequest: (url, options) => {
    console.log(`Preparing to send request to: ${url}`);
    // You can perform actions before the request here
  },
  postRequest: (url, options, data, response) => {
    console.log(
      `Request to ${url} completed with status: ${
        response?.[0] ? "error" : "success"
      }`
    );
    // You can perform actions after the request here, including handling errors
  },
};

const requestWithHooks = hypf.createRequest(
  "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com",
  hooks,
  true
); // pass true for DEBUG mode

// Example usage of POST method with retry and timeout
const [postErr, postData] = await requestWithHooks.post(
  "/posts",
  { retries: 3, timeout: 5000 },
  {
    title: "foo",
    body: "bar",
    userId: 1,
  }
);

List of Hooks:

export interface Hooks {
  preRequest?: (url: string, options: RequestOptions) => void;
  postRequest?: <T, U>(
    url: string,
    options: RequestOptions,
    data?: T,
    response?: [Error | null, U]
  ) => void;
  preRetry?: (
    url: string,
    options: RequestOptions,
    retryCount: number,
    retryLeft: number
  ) => void;
  postRetry?: <T, U>(
    url: string,
    options: RequestOptions,
    data?: T,
    response?: [Error | null, U],
    retryCount?: number,
    retryLeft?: number
  ) => void;
  preTimeout?: (url: string, options: RequestOptions) => void;
  postTimeout?: (url: string, options: RequestOptions) => void;
}

Retry Mechanism

You can retry your request once it's failed!

const [postErr, postData] = await requestWithHooks.post(
  "/posts",
  { retries: 3, timeout: 5000 },
  {
    title: "foo",
    body: "bar",
    userId: 1,
  }
);

Jitter and backoff also supported. 😎

const [postErr, postData] = await requestWithHooks.post(
  "/posts",
  { retries: 3, timeout: 5000, jitter: true }, // false `jitter` to use backoff
  {
    title: "foo",
    body: "bar",
    userId: 1,
  }
);

You can modify backoff and jitter factor as well.

const [postErr, postData] = await requestWithHooks.post(
  "/posts",
  { retries: 3, timeout: 5000, jitter: true, jitterFactor: 10000 }, // false `jitter` to use backoff
  {
    title: "foo",
    body: "bar",
    userId: 1,
  }
);

// or backoff

const [postErr, postData] = await requestWithHooks.post(
  "/posts",
  { retries: 3, timeout: 5000, jitter: false, backoffFactor: 10000 }, // false `jitter` to use backoff
  {
    title: "foo",
    body: "bar",
    userId: 1,
  }
);

Retry on timeout also supported.

const [postErr, postData] = await requestWithHooks.post(
  "/posts",
  { retries: 3, timeout: 5000, retryOnTimeout: true },
  {
    title: "foo",
    body: "bar",
    userId: 1,
  }
);

Infer Response Types

const [getErr, getData] = await hypfRequest.get<
  Array<{
    userId: number;
    id: number;
    title: string;
    body: string;
  }>
>("/posts", {
  retries: 3,
  timeout: 5000,
});

getData?.[0]?.id; // number | undefined

URLSearchParams

const [getErr, getData] = await hypfRequest.get("/posts", {
  retries: 3,
  timeout: 5000,
  params: {
    id: 1,
  },
}); // /posts?id=1

Applications Knowledges

Constant

const DEFAULT_MAX_TIMEOUT = 2147483647;
const DEFAULT_BACKOFF_FACTOR = 0.3;
const DEFAULT_JITTER_FACTOR = 1;

AbortController

We expose abort controller, you can cancel next request anytime.

// DELETE will not work if you uncomment this
const controller = requestWithHooks.getAbortController();

controller.abort();

// Example usage of DELETE method with retry and timeout
const [deleteErr, deleteData] = await requestWithHooks.delete("/posts/1", {
  retries: 3,
  timeout: 5000,
});

if (deleteErr) {
  console.error("DELETE Error:", deleteErr);
} else {
  console.log("DELETE Data:", deleteData);
}
