React Axios | Tutorial for Axios with ReactJS for a REST API

React Axios tutorial is about using the promised based HTTP client with a ReactJS application to perform Get requests, Post requests, etc. We will see why using Axios makes accessing a REST api easy, as well as passing JSON data to and from the server.

We go over how to use axios with react, starting by how to install axios in our react app. We will import axios into the react project and initiate an instance of axios to an API endpoint with a baseURL. This will let us perform get, post, patch and delete requests to the server.

Using react axios api, we will then perform some HTTP get requests and set that response data into a react state. This will be updated when we later delete or update that same data.

React axios crud is about using react axios HTTP requests to make it easier to access REST. It can be used in plain javascript, in react native applications, or even in plain javascript. Ideally, you can set an instance of axios to run in the store of an application with custom headers, such as a token or api key. We also look at using react axios async await functions to allow our code to run much better and cleaner, with try catch loops. If you don't use the latest async functions, you can also run then / catch events in axios as part of it's api in order to identify if there was an error in getting the response from the server.

The move from components to functions has genuinely rendered 99% of these tutorials absolutely obsolete

A very great video for me Adrain, my doubt is, how do you host another API instance running on another port, did you used JSON-server?

[PavanKumar-bjmo]

Well explained Adrian, thank you for the video.
