_fetch

This is a proxy function. It uses the same simple-to-read syntax as the fetch API but is the good ol' XMLHttpRequest under the hood.
This was an attempt to help my friend @ericklaus16 on the mobile version of AlfaChat.

I hope it helps!

Syntax

As previously mentioned, it follows the same syntax as the fetch JavaScript API.

Request example:

_fetch("https://google.com",{mode: "POST",headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/json'},body: null});

It returns a promise which is resolved as soon as the XMLHttpRequest response loads. Response example:

_fetch().then(res=>{console.log(this);// XMLHttpRequest objectconsole.log(res);// Response from the server});

Note #1: there's no way of getting the original's fetch API responses (e.g Response.ok or Response.status) since it isn't a fetch call. However, it is possible to access the XMLHttpRequest object properties through the this keyword.

Note #2: one can include Headers on the options parameter (the second one) as when using the fetch API.
