axios post with body example

Example 1: Using axios send a GET request to the address:

// GET request for remote image
axios({
  method: 'get',
  url: 'http://bit.ly/2mTM3nY',
  responseType: 'stream'
})
  .then(function(response) {
  response.data.pipe(fs.createWriteStream('ada_lovelace.jpg'))
});

Example 2: axios post with body

const body = { a: 10 };

axios.post('/save', body);

//  Axios automatically serializes JavaScript objects to JSON
// when passed to the axios.post function as the second parameter. 
// This eliminates the need to serialize POST bodies to JSON.

Example 3: react axios post method

import React from 'react';

import axios from 'axios';

export default class PersonList extends React.Component {
  state = {
    persons: []
  }

  componentDidMount() {
    axios.get(`https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users`)
      .then(res => {
        const persons = res.data;
        this.setState({ persons });
      })
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <ul>
        { this.state.persons.map(person => <li>{person.name}</li>)}
      </ul>
    )
  }
}
