react fetch get request code example

Example 1: fetch api react

// This is what I've been using, pretty straight forward
// It passes the JSON to the children as props
// Of course, you fetch what you will

import React, { Component, Fragment } from 'react';

export class FetchJsonController extends Component
{
	constructor(props) {
		super(props);
		this.state = {
			data: null,
		};
	}

	componentDidMount() {
		fetch(this.props.src)
			.then(response => response.json())
			.then(data => {
				console.log(data);
				this.setState({ data })
			});
	}

	render() {
		const _data = this.state.data;
		const children = React.Children.map(this.props.children, child => {
			return React.cloneElement(child, {
				jsonData: _data
			});
		});
		return (
			<div>{ children }</div>
		)
	}
}

// This is how it's used
// SomeCompnent will receive the JSON data
<FetchJsonController src="somefile.json">
  <SomeComponent />
</FetchJsonController>

Example 2: fetch get request

// Example POST method implementation:
async function postData(url = '', data = {}) {
  // Default options are marked with *
  const response = await fetch(url, {
    method: 'POST', // *GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.
    mode: 'cors', // no-cors, *cors, same-origin
    cache: 'no-cache', // *default, no-cache, reload, force-cache, only-if-cached
    credentials: 'same-origin', // include, *same-origin, omit
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json'
      // 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
    },
    redirect: 'follow', // manual, *follow, error
    referrerPolicy: 'no-referrer', // no-referrer, *no-referrer-when-downgrade, origin, origin-when-cross-origin, same-origin, strict-origin, strict-origin-when-cross-origin, unsafe-url
    body: JSON.stringify(data) // body data type must match "Content-Type" header
  });
  return response.json(); // parses JSON response into native JavaScript objects
}

postData('https://example.com/answer', { answer: 42 })
  .then(data => {
    console.log(data); // JSON data parsed by `data.json()` call
  });
