axios 1.6.6

Axios is a highly popular, promise-based HTTP client designed for use in both web browsers and Node.js applications. Offering a wide range of features, Axios is utilized for making XMLHttpRequests in the browser and for making HTTP requests in node.js. Employing the Promise API, developers can easily manage asynchronous HTTP request-and-response communications. Some key features include the ability to intercept request and response data, transform request and response data, cancel requests, and automatically handle transforming of JSON data. Axios supports a wide range of client-side protection capabilities against Cross-Site Request Forgery (XSRF) and offers seamless compatibility with a range of popular modern and legacy browsers.

Using Axios is simple and intuitive. To start, you need to install it using npm or yarn:

$ npm install axios

or

$ yarn add axios

Once you've installed Axios, you can start making HTTP requests. Here's an example on how to perform a GET request using Axios:

const axios = require('axios');

axios.get('https://api.example.com/data')
  .then(function (response) {
    // handle success
    console.log(response.data);
  })
  .catch(function (error) {
    // handle error
    console.log(error);
  })
  .finally(function () {
    // always executed
  });

For a POST request, you can do the following:

const axios = require('axios');

axios.post('https://api.example.com/data', {
    item: 'Item Data',
    info: 'Some Information'
  })
  .then(function (response) {
    console.log(response.data);
  })
  .catch(function (error) {
    console.log(error);
  });

Multiple concurrent requests can be made using Promise.all:

const axios = require('axios');

function getFirstData() {
  return axios.get('https://api.example.com/data1');
}

function getSecondData() {
  return axios.get('https://api.example.com/data2');
}

Promise.all([getFirstData(), getSecondData()])
  .then(function (results) {
    console.log(results[0].data);
    console.log(results[1].data);
  });
