Description

Allow developers to bring their own Fetch implementation.

Currently, we are using RxJS, which use XMLHttpRequest. This new feature will enable user to use DirectLineJS without an actual browser, e.g. under Node.js or inside Service Worker.

  • Allow user to bring in their own Fetch and FormData
    • Provides bridge for modern browsers
    • Provides bridge for IE11
    • Investigates if we can move away from Blob
