There are numerous ways to use Axios in JavaScript to display the outcome of an HTTP call. Examples of typical use cases include:  

  • Getting information from a distant API and showing it on a website  
  • Using a form to send data to a server and viewing the result  
  • Getting information from a server and using it to change a single-page application's state (SPA)  
  • Making API requests to outside services and showing the outcomes  


Axios is a JavaScript library that enables browser-based HTTP requests. It is a promise-based HTTP client for the browser and node.js.  


Utilizing Axios makes it simple to submit HTTP queries and handle the response data, which is one of the key advantages. Additionally, it supports the async/await syntax, which simplifies working with asynchronous code. Also, POST, PUT, DELETE, and other request types can be made using Axios. Along with many different features, Axios provides request cancellation and authentication.  


You can use the then method of the Axios promise and access the response object within the callback function in JavaScript to display the response to a request that was made using Axios. The response object has several properties with response-related data, including the status code, headers, and contents.  


Here is an example of how you can display responses from requests using Axios in JavaScript in your application: 


Preview of the output that you will get on running this code from your IDE.

Code:

In this solution we use the React library.

Instructions

Follow the steps carefully to get the output easily.

  1. Install the Node.js and React on your IDE(preferable Visual Studio Code).
  2. Create React Application using npx create-react-app foldername.
  3. cd foldername.
  4. Install npm i axios
  5. Open the folder in IDE.
  6. Copy the code using "copy" button above and paste it in index.js file(remove the earlier code from index.js).
  7. import React component and axios library.(refer DEMO for additional codes)
  8. Open the terminal from IDE.
  9. npm start to run the file.


Also you can refer this url DEMO for getting the above output.

I hope you found this useful. I have added the link to dependent libraries, version information in the following sections.


I found this code snippet by searching for ' Simple React API requests with Axios' in kandi. You can try any such use case!

Environment Tested

I tested this solution in the following versions. Be mindful of changes when working with other versions.

  1. The solution is created in VS Code 1.73.1 version.
  2. The solution is tested on Nodejs 16.14.2 version.
  3. react 18.2.0 version.
  4. axios-0.1.0 version.


Using this solution, we are able to display response from request using axios in Javascript with simple steps. This process also facilities an easy to use, hassle free method to create a hands-on working version of code which would help us to display response from request using axios in Javascript.
