Api Requests Development Tutorials, Guides & Insights

• We pass an object with query parameters to the params option in axios.get().

Custom headers can be set in Axios requests, which is useful when working with APIs that require authentication tokens or specific content types.

• Reusability: The useFetch hook can be used across different components and applications, reducing code duplication and simplifying API interaction.
• Loading and Error States: Automatically manages loading and error states, providing a consistent way to handle asynchronous operations.
• Cleanup Handling: Prevents state updates on unmounted components, reducing potential memory leaks and ensuring stability.

• 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.
