Example

Let's create a Login compoentet using Request

Authentication Hook

const useAuth = () => {
  const login = async (requestCallback, loginCallback) => {
    const response = await requestCallback() // Assume we get an access token in response

    if (response?.data) {
       const { accessToken, ...rest } = response.data;
      // Do whatever you want with this accessToken
      localStorage.setItem("accessToken", accessToken)

      // Now calling the callback which is passed from the Login component
      !!loginCallback && loginCallback()
    }
  };

  const logout = () => {
    // Logout code
    localStorage.removeItem("accessToken")
  };

  return { login, logout }
}

Login Component

import React, { useState } from "react";
import { Request } from "react-axios-request";

const Login = () => {
  const { login } = useAuth();

  const [username, setUsername] = useState("");
  const [password, setPassword] = useState("");

  const cleanState = () => {
    setUsername("");
    setPassword("");
  };

  return (
    <Request
      method="post"
      base={apiBaseUrl}
      route="auth/login"
      body={{ username, password }}
    >
      {({ error, requestCallback }) => (
        <form
          onSubmit={e => {
            e.preventDefault();
            login(requestCallback, cleanState);
          }}
        >
          <input
            id="username"
            value={username}
            onChange={({ target }) => setUsername(target.value)}
          />
          <input
            id="password"
            type="password"
            value={password}
            onChange={({ target }) => setPassword(target.value)}
          />
          <button disabled={!username || !password}>
            Login
          </button>

          {error && (
            <p>
              Username and/or Passowrd do(es)n't match. Please try again.
              <br />
              <small>{error.message}</small>
            </p>
          )}
        </form>
      )}
    </Request>
  )
};

export default Login;

Get Request

In Request component, default method is get. To make a get request, you don't have to pass method='get' to Request component.

import React from "react";
import { Request } from "react-axios-request";
import { apiBaseUrl } from "./config";

const requestConfig = {
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    Authorization: `Bearer ${localStorage.getItem("accessToken")}`
  }
};

const App = () => (
  <Request base={apiBaseUrl} config={requestConfig}>
    {({ data, error, requestCallback }) => (
      <h4>{data?.title}</h4>
      <p>{data?.description}</p>
    )}
  </Request>
);

export default App;

Configuration

Make a component ReactAxiosRequest and use this component insted of Request. Now you don't have to pass base and config everytime you use this component like you have to pass in Request component.

import React from "react";
import { Request } from "react-axios-request";
import { apiBaseUrl } from "./config";

const ReactAxiosRequest = props => {
  const requestConfig = {
    headers: {
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
      Authorization: `Bearer ${localStorage.getItem("accessToken")}`
    }
  };

  return <Request base={apiBaseUrl} config={requestConfig} {...props} />;
};

export default ReactAxiosRequest;
