Request: How to post using navigator.sendBeacon

[chris-martin]

Description

I have a web client that is currently using openapi-fetch to make a POST API call. I would like to modify it to make that request via navigator.sendBeacon instead. See the docs there for a description of the circumstance in which this is useful.

Proposal

If is isn't desirable to make a code change to support a browser-specific API, merely making a documentation improvement might be sufficient to pave the path here. I think it suffices to provide as an argument to createClient something like

  fetch: async (input: Request) => {
    window.navigator.sendBeacon(input.url, input.body)
    return new Response('') // sendBeacon doesn't return a response
  }

Does this seem like a smart enough way to go about it?

Extra
