How to use Axios' create() Method with POST Requests
Mar 1, 2021
Axios has a neat tool, create(), that allows you to
customize your HTTP requests if you need to make multiple requests to the same domain. The
create() function allows you to create an instance with pre-populated Axios options.
By specifying the url and the type of request in the instance, you don't need
to use the specific axios function calls like post(). Instead, you use request() and specify the other
configuration properties that create() was not responsible for, like the information
to be sent in the data property. You can create a custom instance for a POST request as
shown below:
const instance = axios.create({
url: '/post',
baseURL: 'https://httpbin.org',
method: 'POST',
timeout: 1000
});
let res = await instance.request({
data: {
name: 'Masteringjs.io',
email: 'Masteringjs@io'
}
});
res.data.json // ↓
// { email: 'Masteringjs@io', name: 'Masteringjs.io' }
