react-hook-usefetch

useFetch - React custom hook

Hook to fetch data with fetchAPI.

Also can handle errors and loading state.

Why useFetch?

With this hook, you can get a json data from an url and handle the following variables:

• Fetched data.
• Loading boolean.
• Error data.

When that vars are updated, your component is re-rendedred.

Usage

Just install:

npm install react-hook-usefetch

And import the hook.

import useFetch from 'react-hook-usefetch';

Use it in your component:

const YourComponent = props => {
  ...
  const data = useFetch('url', options);
  ...
}

Optional, you can send personal settings as second parameter:

const headers = new Headers();
 
const options = {
    method: 'GET',
    headers,
    mode: 'cors',
    cache: 'default',
    ...more
};
