# ky-universal [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.com/sindresorhus/ky-universal.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.com/sindresorhus/ky-universal)
> Use Ky in both Node.js and browsers
[Ky](https://github.com/sindresorhus/ky) is made for browsers, but this package makes it possible to use it in Node.js too, by polyfilling most of the required browser APIs using [`node-fetch`](https://github.com/bitinn/node-fetch) and [`abort-controller`](https://github.com/mysticatea/abort-controller).
This package can be useful for:
- Isomorphic code
- Web apps (React, Vue.js, etc.) that use server-side rendering (SSR)
- Testing browser libraries using a Node.js test runner
**Note:** Before opening an issue, make sure it's an issue with Ky and not its polyfills. Generally, if something works in the browser, but not in Node.js, it's an issue with `node-fetch` or `abort-controller`.
Keep in mind that Ky targets [modern browsers](https://github.com/sindresorhus/ky#browser-support) when used in the browser. For older browsers, you will need to transpile and use a [`fetch` polyfill](https://github.com/github/fetch).
**If you only target Node.js, I would strongly recommend using [Got](https://github.com/sindresorhus/got) instead.**
## Install
```
$ npm install ky ky-universal
```
*Note that you also need to install `ky`.*
## Usage
```js
const ky = require('ky-universal');
(async () => {
const parsed = await ky('https://httpbin.org/json').json();
// …
})();
```
## `ReadableStream` support
For [`ReadableStream`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/ReadableStream) support, also install [`web-streams-polyfill`](https://github.com/MattiasBuelens/web-streams-polyfill):
```
$ npm install web-streams-polyfill
```
You can then use it normally:
```js
const ky = require('ky-universal');
(async () => {
const {body} = await ky('https://httpbin.org/bytes/16');
const {value} = await body.getReader().read();
const result = new TextDecoder('utf-8').decode(value);
// …
})();
```
## API
The API is exactly the same as the [Ky API](https://github.com/sindresorhus/ky#api).
## FAQ
#### How do I use this with a web app (React, Vue.js, etc.) that uses server-side rendering (SSR)?
Use it like you would use Ky:
```js
import ky from 'ky-universal';
(async () => {
const parsed = await ky('https://httpbin.org/json').json();
// …
})();
```
Webpack will ensure the polyfills are only included and used when the app is rendered on the server-side.
#### How do I test a browser library that uses Ky in AVA?
Put the following in package.json:
```json
{
"ava": {
"require": [
"ky-universal"
]
}
}
```
The library that uses Ky will now *just work* in AVA tests.
#### `clone()` hangs with a large response in Node - What should I do?
Streams in Node.js have a smaller internal buffer size (16 kB, aka `highWaterMark`) than browsers (>1 MB, not consistent across browsers). When using Ky, the default `highWaterMark` is set to 10 MB, so you shouldn't encounter many issues related to that.
However, you can specify a custom `highWaterMark` if needed:
```js
import ky from 'ky-universal';
(async () => {
const response = await ky('https://example.com', {
// 20 MB
highWaterMark: 1000 * 1000 * 20
});
const data = await response.clone().buffer();
})();
```
