Question: how to execute code after getting a response?

[Guguskis]

I am beginner developer and this might be a dumb question. All I want is to call a function after getting a response.
My current solution is to use useEffect:

useEffect(() => {
    if (!postLoading) {
        // Calling my function
    }
}, [postLoading]);

I don't know if that is a good way or not, but I would prefer to do it something like this:

executePost({
    data: {
        // My data
    }
}).then( /*Calling my function*/);

The second solution in VS Code spits out error "Property 'then' does not exist on type 'void'.".
Is there a way to do this with axios hooks?

the hooks way would be to use effect, but it should already be possible to await the promise returned by the refetch function. check out this example.

Thank you, this example helped :)

The codesand link above isn't working. I want to do a refetch triggered automatically after a POST.
