Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

#USE MINIMAL FETCH

A minimal, type-safe React useFetch hook with an Axios wrapper.

Features

  • Lightweight alternative to React Query / SWR
  • Auto handles loading, error, and data states
  • Built on Axios with:
    • Token injection
    • Custom headers
    • Interceptors
  • perform GET requests
  • perform POST requests
  • Perform all HTTP requests easily

Install


## 1. Set Up .env
    The first thing you do is to setup your base url for you apis or endpoints to be used easily*/
    VITE_API_BASE_URL=https://your-api.com

## 2. Use the useHookFetch function
   just import the useHookFetch function and add a endpoint for your GET request
   
   #e.g
   import { useFetchHook } from "use-minimal-fetch";
   export default function Users() {
      const { data, loading, error, refetch } = useFetchHook("/forum/users/");

      if (loading) return <p>Loading users...</p>;
      if (error) return <p>Error: {error.message}</p>;

      return (
        <div>
          <h2>Users</h2>
          <button onClick={refetch}>Refetch</button>
          <ul>
            {data?.map((user: any) => (
              <li key={user.id}>{user.email}</li>
            ))}
          </ul>
        </div>
      );
   }


## 2. Importing and using usePost for POST requests
   just import the usePost and add a endpoint for your POST request

   #e.g
      import { usePost } from "usefetch-api-wrapper";

      function CreateUserForm() {
        const { post, data, loading, error } = usePost("/users");

        const handleSubmit = async (e: React.FormEvent) => {
          e.preventDefault();
          try {
            await post({ name: "John Doe", email: "[email protected]" });
            alert("User created!");
          } catch {
            alert("Failed to create user");
          }
        };

        return (
          <form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
            <button type="submit" disabled={loading}>
              {loading ? "Creating..." : "Create User"}
            </button>
            {error && <p>{error.message}</p>}
          </form>
        );
      }


## 3. Import and using useApi for All HTTP requests like GET, POST, PUT, PATCH and DELETE
  just import the useApi then add a endpoint and specify the method type
    ### `useApi(url, options)`

    Handles GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE with one hook.

    ```tsx
    const { data, loading, error, execute } = useApi("/users", {
      method: "post",
      lazy: true
    });

    execute({ name: "John Doe" });
    

  #e.g
  🔹 GET (auto-loads):
  const { data, loading, error } = useApi("/posts");


  🔹 POST (manual):
  const { loading, error, execute } = useApi("/posts", {
    method: "post",
    lazy: true
  });

  const handleSubmit = () => {
      execute({ title: "New Post", body: "Hello world" });
  };


  🔹 DELETE:
  const { execute } = useApi("/posts/1", { method: "delete", lazy: true });

  const handleDelete = () => {
    execute();
  };
