axios Instance code example

Example 1: axios get

const axios = require('axios');

// Make a request for a user with a given ID
axios.get('/user?ID=12345')
  .then(function (response) {
    // handle success
    console.log(response);
  })
  .catch(function (error) {
    // handle error
    console.log(error);
  })
  .then(function () {
    // always executed
  });

// Optionally the request above could also be done as
axios.get('/user', {
    params: {
      ID: 12345
    }
  })
  .then(function (response) {
    console.log(response);
  })
  .catch(function (error) {
    console.log(error);
  })
  .then(function () {
    // always executed
  });  

// Want to use async/await? Add the `async` keyword to your outer function/method.
async function getUser() {
  try {
    const response = await axios.get('/user?ID=12345');
    console.log(response);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
}

Example 2: axios response.json

const axios = require('axios');

const res = await axios.get('https://httpbin.org/get', { params: { answer: 42 } });

res.constructor.name; // 'Object', means `res` is a POJO

// `res.data` contains the parsed response body
res.data; // { args: { answer: 42 }, ... }
res.data instanceof Object; // true

Example 3: axios post

axios.post('/user', {
    firstName: 'Fred',
    lastName: 'Flintstone'
  })
  .then(function (response) {
    console.log(response);
  })
  .catch(function (error) {
    console.log(error);
  });

Example 4: axios get status code

axios.get('/foo')
  .catch(function (error) {
    if (error.response) {
      console.log(error.response.data);
      console.log(error.response.status);
      console.log(error.response.headers);
    }
  });

Example 5: how to use axios get

const req = async () => {
  const response = await axios.get('https://dog.ceo/api/breeds/list/all')
  console.log(response)
}
req() // Calling this will make a get request and log the response.

Example 6: axios instance

// lets you create custom pre-configured fetch api call!
const getUser = axios.create({
  baseURL: 'https://randomuser.me/api/', // we define url
  timeout: 1000, // (optional) set timeout
  headers: {'X-Custom-Header': 'foobar'} // pass headers
});

// use later like this
getUser().then(response => console.log(response))
