In this chapter, we'll be looking at how we can interface with our server-side APIs using HTTP. We will create an application using our own offline API with HTTP GET, POST, PUT , PATCH, and DELETE. As well as this, we'll be creating an in-memory, real-time chat application that takes advantage of WebSockets with the Socket.io library.
By the end of this chapter, you will know how to:
- Create a mock database APIs with json-server
- Create HTTP requests with Axios
- Use WebSockets and Socket.io for real-time communication across clients
