Features

• Hooks for ✅ data fetching ✅ CRUD ✅ Batch operations
• ✅ Request cancellation
• ✅ Retry/reload callbacks
• ✅ Zero-configuration, yet fully configurable when needed
• ✅ No app architecture commitments, drop in into your React and Axios project and start using hooks in your new components
• No extra-dependencies (React and Axios are peer dependencies), thus minimum overhead if your project already uses axios
• All axios features

Installation

npm i use-axios-react

Make sure axios itself is installed

npm i axios

And make sure you use React v16.8.0 or newer.

Examples

Basic data fetching (GET)

import React from "react";
import { useGetData } from "use-axios-react";

const KanyeQuote = () => {
  const [data, loading] = useGetData("https://api.kanye.rest/");

  if (loading) return <div>Loading...</div>;

  return <blockquote>{data.quote}</blockquote>;
};

Cancellable fetching (GET) with reload and retry

import React from "react";
import { useGetData } from "use-axios-react";

const KanyeQuote = () => {
  const [data, loading, { error, retry }] = useGetData("https://api.kanye.rest/", { cancelable: true });

  if (loading) return <Spinner />;
  if (error) return <Button onClick={retry} label="RETRY" />;

  return (
    <div>
      <Quote>{data.quote}</Quote>
      <Button onClick={retry} label="RELOAD" />
    </Fragment>
  );
};

Basic POST example

import React from "react";
import { usePostCallback } from "use-axios-react";

function userToRequest({ name, job }) {
  return {
    url: "https://reqres.in/api/users",
    data: { name, job }
  };
}

const CreateUser = () => {
  const [create, sending, { error, data }] = usePostCallback(userToRequest);

  const neo = { name: "Neo", job: "The One" };
  const morpheus = { name: "Morpheus", job: "Leader" };

  return (
    <Layout>
      <Button onClick={() => create(neo)}>Neo</Button>
      <Button onClick={() => create(morpheus)}>Morpheus</Button>
      <StatusBar sending={sending} error={error} lastUser={data} />
    </Layout>
  );
};

import React, { useState } from "react";
import { useGetData } from "use-axios-react";

const PaginatedKanyeQuotes = () => {
  const [page, setPage] = useState(1);
  const [data, loading] = useGetData(
    { url: "https://api.kanye.rest/", params: { page } },
    { cancelable: true }
  );

  if (loading) return <Spinner />;

  const prev = () => setPage(page - 1);
  const next = () => setPage(page + 1);

  return (
    <div>
      <Quote>{data.quote}</Quote>
      <div>
        <Button onClick={prev} disabled={page <= 1} label="← Prev" />
        <span className="mx-5">Page {page}</span>
        <Button onClick={next} disabled={page >= 9} label="Next →" />
      </div>
    </div>
  );
