Polyfilling the Fetch API for Old Browsers and Node.js
Read OriginalThis technical article details the process of polyfilling the Fetch API to ensure compatibility with older browsers and Node.js. It explains the difference between polyfills and transpilers, provides code examples, and discusses using Babel and @babel/preset-env with browser targeting via Browserslist. It also notes that Babel does not automatically polyfill Fetch, as it's a web specification, not an ECMAScript feature.
