Api Requests Development Tutorials, Guides & Insights

axios.post('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts', {
    title: 'New Post',
    body: 'This is the content of the new post.',
    userId: 1
  })
  .then(response => {
    console.log('Post created:', response.data);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error('Error creating post:', error);
  });

• We use axios.post() to send a POST request to the API endpoint.
• The second argument to axios.post() is the data object that will be sent with the request.

• Custom Headers: Extend the hook to accept custom headers or authentication tokens in the options parameter.
• Polling: Implement a polling mechanism by setting up a setInterval within the useEffect for periodically fetching data.
• Data Transformation: Add a callback function to transform the fetched data before setting it in state.
