doesn't support ie11

i need to add these polyfills
import 'promise-polyfill/src/polyfill';
import 'unfetch/polyfill';
import 'abortcontroller-polyfill'
import 'url-search-params-polyfill';

[iamthesiz]

Will hop on this soon

@Fled8617 It sounds like you might be on a Microsoft computer since you're using IE. It's kind of a pain to test IE on mac. Would greatly appreciate if you could submit a PR!

[iamthesiz]

I'm so excited I'm pretty sure I figured out a way to make this work.

[iamthesiz]

This might be fixed as of #196
As soon as I get a windows machine I'll test this, but until then, anyone who has a windows machine who might be able to confirm that this works, please comment on here so I can close this.

It's not working for ie11 without the polyfills mentioned by @fred8617

[iamthesiz]

Mind submitting a PR @Akswii? I removed the Proxy so it shouldn't be too far off.

[Akswii]

Sorry, I don't have the time to look into it. Included the polyfills and got it working for my project. I appreciate your work @alex-cory 🙏

[iamthesiz]

@Akswii so you didn't need to add a polyfill for Object.entries?

[Akswii]

These are my current polyfills. I think a polyfill for Object.entries is included in one of the CRA polyfills.

[Akswii]

I double checked, Object.entries is not polyfilled with the react-app-polyfill, nor in any of the other packages as far as I can tell. Not sure if this is helpful or not @alex-cory

[iamthesiz]

@Akswii I'll make a branch, but could you pull down the branch and test it on your windows machine? Steps

git clone [email protected]:alex-cory/use-http.git
cd ./use-http
git checkout ie-support
yarn
yarn link
cd ..
create-react-app use-http-cra-app
cd ./use-http-cra-app
yarn
yarn link use-http
cd ../use-http
npm link ../use-http-cra-app/node_modules/react
npm link ../use-http-cra-app/node_modules/react-dom
cd ../use-http-cra-app
yarn start

Now just go into your use-http-cra-app/src/App.js and import use-http and test it in ie. I still need to make the ie-support branch so bare with me.

[Akswii]

I had to do yarn build in use-http to make the test project work.

After adding the basic cra-app polyfill it seems like your ie-support fix branch is working. No need for me to polyfill anything extra. Tested in internet explorer 11. Nice! 🔥

[iamthesiz]

I'm so excited

[iamthesiz]

@Akswii when you say the basic cra-app polyfill, you are saying put these in the useFetch.ts?

import 'react-app-polyfill/ie11'
import 'react-app-polyfill/stable'

I might just put this in the documentation. If you need ie11 support, use these polyfills. Or... maybe I just import them, and just have them as devDependencies, then will just use them at build time. 🤔 Thoughts?

[Akswii]

@alex-cory correct. Yes you can do that / just have a link or reference to the react docs as they cover this if you want to be ie11 compatible.

[Akswii]

If people are going to start testing their react app on explorer then it will crash because of react issues before it reaches your fetch library.

[iamthesiz]

So anyone trying to get this to work in IE, just add these lines to the top of your main/root App.js file.

import 'react-app-polyfill/ie11'
import 'react-app-polyfill/stable'
