Request Config

These are the available config options for making requests.

{
  // `url` is the server URL that will be used for the request
  url: '/user',

  // `baseURL` will be prepended to `url` unless `url` is absolute.

  // to methods of that instance.
  baseURL: 'https://some-domain.com/',

  // `headers` are custom headers to be sent
  headers: {'X-Requested-With': 'XMLHttpRequest'},

  // If the request takes longer than `timeout`, the request will be aborted.
  timeout: 1000,

  // `auth` indicates that HTTP Basic auth should be used, and supplies credentials.
  // This will set an `Authorization` header, overwriting any existing
  // `Authorization` custom headers you have set using `headers`.
  auth: {
    username: 'admin',
    password: 'password'
  }

  // `responseType` indicates the type of data that the server will respond with
