javascript - Override fetch method in JS and forward Promises - Stack Overflow

I want to override the fetch() method of isomorphic-fetch such that, just before sending this request it calls showLoader() and after the request is finished, it calls hideLoader(). Now I want to override it such that the new fetch can be chained just like the original fetch method. So it should respect/forward all the Promises. In summary, I want to:

• Override original fetch() into fetchPlus(extraArg)
• fetchPlus() needs to do addtional work just before calling fetch() and just after fetch() pletes.
• fetchPlus() should be a drop in replacement for usages of original fetch()
• It should support chaining so that I can do:

fetchPlus(extraArg, originalArgs...).then(response => {...}).catch(error => {...});

I'm fairly new to JS, React and Redux so please excuse me if I missed something obvious. I did read up on fetch() and know that it returns Promise so that the response can be passed on further or errors be handled. I sort of figured out an ugly way of doing it where, I pass on the responseHandler and errorHandler functions as args to fetchPlus.

fetchPlus(extraArg, url, options, responseHandler, errorHandler) {
    showLoader(extraArg);
    fetch(url, options)
    .then(response => {
        hideLoader(extraArg);
        responseHandler(response);
    }.catch(error => { errorHandler(error); });
}

But I don't find it clean. I want to see if I can find a drop-in replacement for the original fetch where Promises are correctly passed along.

I would highly appreciate any help!

• Do you want to override the fetch function, or just to create a new function, which would be a modified version of the fetch function? – Michał Perłakowski Commented Sep 12, 2016 at 18:28
• I want to wrap the fetch function so that it does additional things before and after calling the real fetch(). So I guess you can call it overriding fetch() or modified version of fetch()? The answer below solves my problem. – Manindra Moharana Commented Sep 12, 2016 at 18:49
• Well, overriding would mean that you assign some other function to fetch. – Michał Perłakowski Commented Sep 12, 2016 at 18:51

If you know that it returns a Promise, then why not just return?

fetchPlus(extraArg, url, options) {
    showLoader(extraArg);
    return fetch(url, options)
      .then(response => {
        hideLoader(extraArg);
        return response;
      })
}

Then use it:

fetchPlus(extraArg, url, options)
  .then(response => ...)
  .catch(error => ...)
