Is it okay to install undici in Node and use EnvHttpProxyAgent and setGlobalDispatcher?

[bruce-c-liu]

Hi, I'm trying to use native Node fetch, but I need to set a global proxy dispatcher that respects HTTPS_PROXY env variable.

So I tried directly installing undici:

import { EnvHttpProxyAgent, setGlobalDispatcher } from "undici";
setGlobalDispatcher(new EnvHttpProxyAgent());

fetch(<some url>); // <== notice I'm using Node's native fetch.

This seems to work! My question is are there any issues with this approach?

None, that's the way it's done. If there are issues, we'd consider those as bugs.

Gotcha.

I've seen folks setting the global dispatcher using this method as well: #2167 (reply in thread)

Can you comment on which way is the Node team's recommendation?
