Chapter 8: Consuming the REST API with React
This chapter explains networking with React. That is really important skill which we need in most of the React apps. We will learn about promises, which make asynchronous code cleaner and more readable. For networking, we will use the fetch and axios libraries. As an example, we will use the GitHub REST API to demonstrate how to consume RESTful web services with React.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- Using promises
- Using the
fetchAPI - Using the
axioslibrary - Practical examples
- Handling responses from the REST API
