Legacy browser support

Rest Hooks is designed to work out of the box with most tooling.

If you see, Uncaught TypeError: Class constructor Resource cannot be invoked without 'new' this is most likely due to targeting Internet Explorer support with a custom webpack configuration. This will occur even when using a modern browser, so long as your target (typically set with browserslist) includes legacy browsers like Internet Explorer.

In this case, follow the instructions below to ensure compatibility.

Transpile packages​

Adding webpack-plugin-modern-npm will ensure compatibility of all installed packages with legacy browsers.

npm install --saveDev  webpack-plugin-modern-npm

Then install the plugin by adding to webpack config.

webpack.config.js

const ModernNpmPlugin = require('webpack-plugin-modern-npm');

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    new ModernNpmPlugin()
  ]
};

Polyfills​

Use CRA polyfill or follow instructions below.

npm install --save core-js whatwg-fetch

index.tsx​

import 'core-js/stable';
import 'whatwg-fetch';
