this.fetch is not a function error received about dropbox-sdk-js HOT 3 OPEN

Thanks for following up. I'm glad to hear you got this working.

It sounds like this is related to something in that particular environment, but if you find there's something in the Dropbox SDK itself that needs to be addressed, please let us know so we can look into it.

from dropbox-sdk-js.

The Dropbox JavaScript SDK uses this.fetch to perform the network requests to the Dropbox API servers for the Dropbox API calls. In a Node environment, that is supposed to get set from node-fetch. Is there some reason that may not be working (for instance, is node-fetch not properly installed?) or may be overwritten by something else in your deployed application?

from dropbox-sdk-js.

It maybe overwritten by something else but not sure. In the meantime, I explicitly imported fetch and passed it to the dropbox instance. Works

import { Dropbox } from 'dropbox';
import fetch from 'fetch';

const dbx = new Dropbox({
  refreshToken: process.env.DROPBOX_REFRESH_TOKEN,
  clientId: process.env.DROPBOX_CLIENT_ID,
  clientSecret: process.env.DROPBOX_CLIENT_SECRET,
  fetch
});
