@react-cmpt/react-request-hook v5.1.0

react-request-hook

A React hook plugin for Axios. Lightweight and less change.

Fork: https://github.com/schettino/react-request-hook

Usage

Quick Start

import { useResource } from "@react-cmpt/react-request-hook";

function Profile({ userId }) {
  const [{ data, error, isLoading }] = useResource((id) => ({ url: `/user/${id}` }), [userId]);

  if (error) return <div>failed to load</div>;
  if (isLoading) return <div>loading...</div>;
  return <div>hello {data.name}!</div>;
}

import { useRequest, useResource } from "@react-cmpt/react-request-hook";

installation

yarn add axios @react-cmpt/react-request-hook

RequestProvider

import axios from "axios";
import { RequestProvider } from "@react-cmpt/react-request-hook";

// https://github.com/axios/axios#creating-an-instance
const axiosInstance = axios.create({
  baseURL: "https://example.com/",
});

ReactDOM.render(
  // custom instance
  <RequestProvider instance={axiosInstance}>
    <App />
  </RequestProvider>,
  document.getElementById("root"),
);

RequestProvider config

useRequest

// js
const [createRequest, { hasPending, cancel }] = useRequest((id) => ({
  url: `/user/${id}`,
  method: "DELETE",
}));

// tsx
const [createRequest, { hasPending, cancel }] = useRequest((id: string) =>
  // response.data: Result. AxiosResponse<Result>
  request<Result>({
    url: `/user/${id}`,
    method: "DELETE",
  }),
);

interface CreateRequest {
  // Promise function
  ready: () => Promise<[Payload<TRequest>, AxiosRestResponse]>;
  // Axios Canceler. clear current request.
  cancel: Canceler;
}

type HasPending = boolean;
// Axios Canceler. clear all pending requests(CancelTokenSource).
type Cancel = Canceler;

useEffect(() => {
  const { ready, cancel } = createRequest(id);

  ready()
    .then((res) => {
      console.log(res);
    })
    .catch((err) => {
      console.log(err);
    });
  return cancel;
}, [id]);

// options: onCompleted, onError
const [createRequest, { hasPending, cancel }] = useRequest(
  (id) => ({
    url: `/user/${id}`,
    method: "DELETE",
  }),
  {
    onCompleted: (data, other) => console.info(data, other),
    onError: (err) => console.info(err),
  },
);

useResource

// js
const [{ data, error, isLoading }, fetch] = useResource((id) => ({
  url: `/user/${id}`,
  method: "GET",
}));

// tsx
const [reqState, fetch] = useResource((id: string) =>
  // response.data: Result. AxiosResponse<Result>
  request<Result>({
    url: `/user/${id}`,
    method: "GET",
  }),
);

interface ReqState {
  // Result
  data?: Payload<TRequest>;
  // other axios response. Omit<AxiosResponse, "data">
  other?: AxiosRestResponse;
  // normalized error
  error?: RequestError<Payload<TRequest>>;
  isLoading: boolean;
  cancel: Canceler;
}

type Fetch = (...args: Parameters<TRequest>) => Canceler;

The request can also be triggered passing its arguments as dependencies to the useResource hook.

const [userId, setUserId] = useState();

const [reqState] = useResource(
  (id) => ({
    url: `/user/${id}`,
    method: "GET",
  }),
  [userId],
);

// no parameters
const [reqState] = useResource(
  () => ({
    url: "/users/",
    method: "GET",
  }),
  [],
);

// conditional
const [reqState, request] = useResource(
  (id) => ({
    url: `/user/${id}`,
    method: "GET",
  }),
  [userId],
  {
    filter: (id) => id !== "12345",
  },
);

request("12345"); // custom request is still useful

// options: onCompleted, onError
const [reqState] = useResource(
  () => ({
    url: "/users/",
    method: "GET",
  }),
  [],
  {
    onCompleted: (data, other) => console.info(data, other),
    onError: (err) => console.info(err),
  },
);

request

The request function allows you to define the response type coming from it. It also helps with creating a good pattern on defining your API calls and the expected results. It's just an identity function that accepts the request config and returns it. Both useRequest and useResource extract the expected and annotated type definition and resolve it on the response.data field.

const api = {
  getUsers: () => {
    return request<Users>({
      url: "/users",
      method: "GET",
    });
  },

  getUserPosts: (userId: string) => {
    return request<UserInfo>({
      url: `/users/${userId}`,
      method: "GET",
    });
  },
};

createRequestError

The createRequestError normalizes the error response. This function is used internally as well. The isCancel flag is returned, so you don't have to call axios.isCancel later on the promise catch block.

interface RequestError<T> {
  data?: T;
  message: string;
  code?: string | number;
  isCancel: boolean;
  original: AxiosError<T>;
}
