This fetch works fine in Chrome:
fetch( this.props.url, {credentials:\'same-origin\'})
.then( (data) => data.js
So here's what I ended up using that worked for me:
require('es6-promise').polyfill();
require('fetch-everywhere');
I had tried two other fetches that were touted as being magical and polyfilling, but the combo above is what finally allowed me to get to the REST of the IE incompatibilities in my code. :)
