react-fetcher-hooks

v1 is slighty still in WIP but usable. READLE is obsolete tho.

Why?

The goal of this library is to take away the pain of manually handling fetching states (idle, loading, error) for every one of your components. Just hand over an HTTP request to Fetcher and let it handle the visual feedbacks and the what-ifs.
It reduces boilerplate but also give you a wide range of customization tools for general usage.

Installation

Using yarn

yarn add react-fetcher-hooks

Using npm

npm install react-fetcher-hooks

Usage

react-fetcher-hooks exposes useFetcher and a component that automatically handle the visual feedback when fetching data. For now, the library accepts an AxiosPromise primarily but you can handle any other type of promise. This is further explained in the docs.

import React, { useEffect } from 'react';
import { useFetcher, Fetcher } from 'react-fetcher-hooks';
import axios from 'axios';

const MyComponent = () => {
  const fetcher = useFetcher();
  useEffect(() => {
    let request = () => axios.get('...');
    fetcher.fetch(request, data => {
      // Do something with data
    });
  }, []);

  return (
    <div>
      <Fetcher fetcher={fetcher}>
        My content
      </Fetcher>
    </div>
  );
}

There's no need for handling errors on this level. If any happens, the callback just won't be called and the visual feedback will be handled automatically.
