The npm package isomorphic-fetch had frequent releases in late 2014 and throughout 2015, with a peak of 12 versions in January 2015. After a few sporadic releases until early 2016, the release frequency dropped to zero for several years, except one release in September 2020. Since then, there have been no new releases.
isomorphic-fetch provides a consistent, spec-compliant fetch API for both Node.js and browsers. This package allows developers to write universal JavaScript code that can perform HTTP requests seamlessly on either the client or server-side without requiring conditional logic or separate implementations. It bundles node-fetch when running on the server and utilizes the browser's native fetch API when available, ensuring a unified and familiar fetching experience regardless of the environment. It allows developers to leverage features like promises, streams, and request/response objects.
Isomorphic-fetch npm package downloads show a fluctuating trend. Downloads grew significantly from March 2024 to July 2025, peaking at 28.7 million. August 2025 saw a decrease, and September 2025 (partial data) indicates a further substantial drop, suggesting a potential shift in usage of the package.
