reactjsHow do I make a GET request in ReactJS?


Making a GET request in ReactJS requires the use of the fetch API. Fetch is an interface for fetching resources, and is available in the global scope. It returns a promise that resolves to the response of the request.

Example code

fetch('https://example.com/data')
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data))

Output example

[
  {
    name: 'John',
    age: 30
  },
  {
    name: 'Alice',
    age: 25
  }
]

The code above makes a GET request to the URL https://example.com/data. The response is then converted to JSON and logged to the console.

The code consists of three parts:

  1. fetch('https://example.com/data') - This is the GET request, and it returns a promise.
  2. .then(response => response.json()) - This is a callback that is called when the promise is resolved. It takes the response from the request and converts it to JSON.
  3. .then(data => console.log(data)) - This is another callback that is called when the promise is resolved. It takes the JSON data and logs it to the console.

For more information, see the MDN Documentation on the Fetch API.
