Installing and introducing axios dependencies in React

To use the axios request in the React project, you first need to install axios:


npm install axios --save

Then import the axios dependency in the react file using the typescript method:


import axios from 'axios';

Use axios to make GET requests

There are two ways to use GET requests in axios:

One is carried out in the way of axios. get 1 is done using axios (config {...})

Use axios. get mode

The common format for making requests using encapsulated axios. get is as follows:


// Make a request for a user with a given ID
axios.get('/getUser?id=12345')
  .then(function (response) {
    // handle success
    console.log(response);
 
    // update state or do something
    this.setState({
      // ...
    })
  })
  .catch(function (error) {
    // handle error
    console.log(error);
  })
  .then(function () {
    // always executed
  });
 
// Optionally the request above could also be done as
axios.get('/getUser', {
    params: { //  The parameter here is set to URL Parameters based on URL Carry parameters) 
      id: 12345
    }
  })
  .then(function (response) {
    console.log(response);
  })
  .catch(function (error) {
    console.log(error);
  })
  .then(function () {
    // always executed
  });  
 
// Want to use async/await? Add the `async` keyword to your outer function/method.
async function getUser() {
  try {
    const response = await axios.get('/getUser?id=12345');
    console.log(response);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
}

Use axios (config {...})

Send GET requests using axios (config {...}) in the following format:


axios({
  method: 'get',
  url: '/getUser',
  params: {
    id: 12345,
  }
})
  .then(function (response) {
    console.log(response);
  });

The above get requests send URL as follows:

http:HOST_IP:XXXX/getUser?id=12345

Use axios to make POST requests

Like GET Request 1, there are two request modes using POST.

Use axios. post


axios.post('/createUser', {
    firstName: 'Fred',
    lastName: 'Flintstone'
  })
  .then(function (response) {
    console.log(response);
  })
  .catch(function (error) {
    console.log(error);
  });

Use axios (config {...})


    // Send a POST request
    axios({
      method: 'post',
      url: '/createUser',
      data: { //  Here data The parameter in is requestBody Parameter, the server needs to use @RequestBody Annotation to get 
        firstName: 'Fred',
        lastName: 'Flintstone'
      }
    }).then(function (response) {
      console.log(response);
    }).catch(function (error) {
      console.log(error);
    });

It should be noted that when axios (config {}) is used to send GET or POST requests, params in GET request is URL parameter, data in POST request is RequestBody parameter, and @ RequestBody annotation is needed to receive at the server, and Spring Boot can be automatically resolved into Java corresponding objects.

Send multiple requests at the same time

You can also send multiple requests at once using axios:


function getUserAccount() {
  return axios.get('/user/12345');
}
 
function getUserPermissions() {
  return axios.get('/user/12345/permissions');
}
 
axios.all([getUserAccount(), getUserPermissions()])
  .then(axios.spread(function (acct, perms) {
    // Both requests are now complete
  }));

Detailed config Object Configuration Items

In the readme documentation of axios, there are specific configuration instructions for config objects, as follows:


{
  // `url` is the server URL that will be used for the request
  url: '/user',
 
  // `method` is the request method to be used when making the request
  method: 'get', // default
 
  // `baseURL` will be prepended to `url` unless `url` is absolute.
  // It can be convenient to set `baseURL` for an instance of axios to pass relative URLs
  // to methods of that instance.
  baseURL: 'https://some-domain.com/api/',
 
  // `transformRequest` allows changes to the request data before it is sent to the server
  // This is only applicable for request methods 'PUT', 'POST', 'PATCH' and 'DELETE'
  // The last function in the array must return a string or an instance of Buffer, ArrayBuffer,
  // FormData or Stream
  // You may modify the headers object.
  transformRequest: [function (data, headers) {
    // Do whatever you want to transform the data
 
    return data;
  }],
 
  // `transformResponse` allows changes to the response data to be made before
  // it is passed to then/catch
  transformResponse: [function (data) {
    // Do whatever you want to transform the data
 
    return data;
  }],
 
  // `headers` are custom headers to be sent
  headers: {'X-Requested-With': 'XMLHttpRequest'},
 
  // `params` are the URL parameters to be sent with the request
  // Must be a plain object or a URLSearchParams object
  params: {
    ID: 12345
  },
 
  // `paramsSerializer` is an optional function in charge of serializing `params`
  // (e.g. https://www.npmjs.com/package/qs, http://api.jquery.com/jquery.param/)
  paramsSerializer: function (params) {
    return Qs.stringify(params, {arrayFormat: 'brackets'})
  },
 
  // `data` is the data to be sent as the request body
  // Only applicable for request methods 'PUT', 'POST', and 'PATCH'
  // When no `transformRequest` is set, must be of one of the following types:
  // - string, plain object, ArrayBuffer, ArrayBufferView, URLSearchParams
  // - Browser only: FormData, File, Blob
  // - Node only: Stream, Buffer
  data: {
    firstName: 'Fred'
  },
  
  // syntax alternative to send data into the body
  // method post
  // only the value is sent, not the key
  data: 'Country=Brasil&City=Belo Horizonte',
 
  // `timeout` specifies the number of milliseconds before the request times out.
  // If the request takes longer than `timeout`, the request will be aborted.
  timeout: 1000, // default is `0` (no timeout)
 
  // `withCredentials` indicates whether or not cross-site Access-Control requests
  // should be made using credentials
  withCredentials: false, // default
 
  // `adapter` allows custom handling of requests which makes testing easier.
  // Return a promise and supply a valid response (see lib/adapters/README.md).
  adapter: function (config) {
    /* ... */
  },
 
  // `auth` indicates that HTTP Basic auth should be used, and supplies credentials.
  // This will set an `Authorization` header, overwriting any existing
  // `Authorization` custom headers you have set using `headers`.
  // Please note that only HTTP Basic auth is configurable through this parameter.
  // For Bearer tokens and such, use `Authorization` custom headers instead.
  auth: {
    username: 'janedoe',
    password: 's00pers3cret'
  },
 
  // `responseType` indicates the type of data that the server will respond with
  // options are: 'arraybuffer', 'document', 'json', 'text', 'stream'
  //   browser only: 'blob'
  responseType: 'json', // default
 
  // `responseEncoding` indicates encoding to use for decoding responses
  // Note: Ignored for `responseType` of 'stream' or client-side requests
  responseEncoding: 'utf8', // default
 
  // `xsrfCookieName` is the name of the cookie to use as a value for xsrf token
  xsrfCookieName: 'XSRF-TOKEN', // default
 
  // `xsrfHeaderName` is the name of the http header that carries the xsrf token value
  xsrfHeaderName: 'X-XSRF-TOKEN', // default
 
  // `onUploadProgress` allows handling of progress events for uploads
  // browser only
  onUploadProgress: function (progressEvent) {
    // Do whatever you want with the native progress event
  },
 
  // `onDownloadProgress` allows handling of progress events for downloads
  // browser only
  onDownloadProgress: function (progressEvent) {
    // Do whatever you want with the native progress event
  },
 
  // `maxContentLength` defines the max size of the http response content in bytes allowed
  maxContentLength: 2000,
 
  // `validateStatus` defines whether to resolve or reject the promise for a given
  // HTTP response status code. If `validateStatus` returns `true` (or is set to `null`
  // or `undefined`), the promise will be resolved; otherwise, the promise will be
  // rejected.
  validateStatus: function (status) {
    return status >= 200 && status < 300; // default
  },
 
  // `maxRedirects` defines the maximum number of redirects to follow in node.js.
  // If set to 0, no redirects will be followed.
  maxRedirects: 5, // default
 
  // `socketPath` defines a UNIX Socket to be used in node.js.
  // e.g. '/var/run/docker.sock' to send requests to the docker daemon.
  // Only either `socketPath` or `proxy` can be specified.
  // If both are specified, `socketPath` is used.
  socketPath: null, // default
 
  // `httpAgent` and `httpsAgent` define a custom agent to be used when performing http
  // and https requests, respectively, in node.js. This allows options to be added like
  // `keepAlive` that are not enabled by default.
  httpAgent: new http.Agent({ keepAlive: true }),
  httpsAgent: new https.Agent({ keepAlive: true }),
 
  // `proxy` defines the hostname and port of the proxy server.
  // You can also define your proxy using the conventional `http_proxy` and
  // `https_proxy` environment variables. If you are using environment variables
  // for your proxy configuration, you can also define a `no_proxy` environment
  // variable as a comma-separated list of domains that should not be proxied.
  // Use `false` to disable proxies, ignoring environment variables.
  // `auth` indicates that HTTP Basic auth should be used to connect to the proxy, and
  // supplies credentials.
  // This will set an `Proxy-Authorization` header, overwriting any existing
  // `Proxy-Authorization` custom headers you have set using `headers`.
  proxy: {
    host: '127.0.0.1',
    port: 9000,
    auth: {
      username: 'mikeymike',
      password: 'rapunz3l'
    }
  },
 
  // `cancelToken` specifies a cancel token that can be used to cancel the request
  // (see Cancellation section below for details)
  cancelToken: new CancelToken(function (cancel) {
  })
}

axios return value object response

The response object obtained by axios after making the request is in the following format:


{
  // `data` is the response that was provided by the server
  data: {},
 
  // `status` is the HTTP status code from the server response
  status: 200,
 
  // `statusText` is the HTTP status message from the server response
  statusText: 'OK',
 
  // `headers` the HTTP headers that the server responded with
  // All header names are lower cased and can be accessed using the bracket notation.
  // Example: `response.headers['content-type']`
  headers: {},
 
  // `config` is the config that was provided to `axios` for the request
  config: {},
 
  // `request` is the request that generated this response
  // It is the last ClientRequest instance in node.js (in redirects)
  // and an XMLHttpRequest instance in the browser
  request: {}
}

When the then method is used after the request, the various attribute values of the response object can be obtained, where data is the corresponding object returned by the server:


axios.get('/user/12345')
  .then(function (response) {
    console.log(response.data);
    console.log(response.status);
    console.log(response.statusText);
    console.log(response.headers);
    console.log(response.config);
  });

Global Configuration of axios

When using axios, you can set the axios object globally, which will be applied to all axios requests in the current javascript class where axios is located, such as the following settings:


import axios from 'axios';
0

Single 1 Instantiation Configuration of axios

If you don't need to set axios globally, you can set a single 1 object when you use an axios object, such as the following:


import axios from 'axios';
1

Use of axios Interceptor

You can use the axios interceptor to intercept the request before sending it or before responding to the response (then method) and make custom settings. Define the request and response interceptors as follows:


import axios from 'axios';
2

When you need to remove the interceptor, do the following:


const myInterceptor = axios.interceptors.request.use(function () {/*...*/});
axios.interceptors.request.eject(myInterceptor);

You can also add a defined interceptor to a custom axios instance:


import axios from 'axios';
