django-react-api-client

TypeScript-first, CSRF-aware, developer-friendly API client for React / Next.js applications talking to Django REST Framework back-ends.

npm install django-react-api-client

import { ApiClient } from "django-react-api-client";

const api = new ApiClient({
  baseURL: "/api/",
  withCredentials: true, // session cookie auth
});

// inside React component / hook
const orders = await api.get<Order[]>("orders/");

See examples/usage.tsx for a full integration example.

Features

• Centralised config (baseURL, timeout, headers).
• Automatic CSRF token retrieval (/api/csrf/ or cookie).
• Safe get<T>, post<T,D> … helpers with full TypeScript inference.
• Pluggable interceptors and unified ApiError.
• Works with session (cookie + CSRF) and JWT/Bearer auth.
