The ApiRef of FetchApi.

Signature:

fetchApiRef: ApiRef<FetchApi>

Remarks​

This is a wrapper for the fetch API, that has additional behaviors such as the ability to automatically inject auth information where necessary.

Note that the default behavior of this API (unless overridden by your org), is to require that the user is already signed in so that it has auth information to inject. Therefore, using the default implementation of this utility API e.g. on the SignInPage or similar, would cause issues. In special circumstances like those, you can use the regular system fetch instead.
