Learning axios

Just one of the things I'm learning. https://github.com/hchiam/learning

https://github.com/axios/axios has many more examples and API details.

Axios vs Apollo:

• Axios = REST API
• Apollo = GraphQL API

Pseudo-code examples

axios("/some-url?id=123"); // a GET request is used by default

axios.get("/some-url?id=123").then(function (response) {});

axios.get("/some-url", { params: { id: 123 } }).then(function (response) {});

axios({
  method: "post",
  url: "/user/123",
  data: {
    firstName: "Some",
    lastName: "Body",
  },
});

axios({
  method: "get",
  url: "http://bit.ly/2mTM3nY",
  responseType: "stream",
});

From scratch

Using yarn:

yarn add axios

Or with npm:

npm install axios

Alternatively:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/axios/dist/axios.min.js"></script>

Or:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/axios/dist/axios.min.js"></script>
