react-fetch-it

React hooks for interacting with the fetch API. Includes the ability to add middleware to intercept, modify, cancel, cache, or analyze fetch calls.

Installation

$ npm i -S react-fetch-it

Basic Usage

Basic Usage (Immediate Execution)

import { useFetchGet } from 'react-fetch-it';

export function MyComponent() {
  const { loading, error, value: movie } = useFetchGet<Movie>('/api/movies/42'); // NOTE: Only submits request if URL changes.
  
  return (
    loading ? <div>Loading...</div>
      : error ? <div>Error: {error.message}</div>
      : <div>{movie.title} ({movie.year}) by {movie.director}</div>
  );
}

type Movie = {
  id: number;
  title: string;
  year: number;
  director: string;
};

Basic Usage (On-Demand Execution)

import { useState } from 'react';
import { useFetchGetFn } from 'react-fetch-it';

export function MyComponent() {
  const [ { loading, error, value: movie }, fetchMovie ] = useFetchGetFn<Movie>(`/api/movies/42`);

  return (
    loading ? <div>Loading...</div>
      : error ? <div>Error: {error.message}</div>
      : movie ? <div>{movie.title} ({movie.year}) by {movie.director}</div>
      : <button onClick={fetchMovie}>Fetch it, yo!</button>
  );
}

Add "Standard" Options for All Requests (Without Provider)

// main.ts

import { addFetchItMiddleware } from 'react-fetch-it';
import standardOptionsMiddleware from 'react-fetch-it/middleware/standard-options';

addFetchItMiddleware(
 standardOptionsMiddleware
);

// ...

Advanced Usage

Adding Static Middleware

// main.ts

import { addFetchItMiddleware } from 'react-fetch-it';

addFetchItMiddleware(
  // Add middleware here...
);

// ...

Adding Dynamic Middleware

import FetchItMiddlewareProvider from 'react-fetch-it/MiddlewareProvider';

export function App() {
  // ...
  
  return (
    <FetchItMiddlewareProvider middleware={[
      // Add middleware here...
    ]}>
      {/* ... */}
    </FetchItMiddlewareProvider>
  );
}

Aborting a Request

// main.ts

import { addFetchItMiddleware, FetchItMiddlewareOptions } from 'react-fetch-it';

addFetchItMiddleware(
  // ...

  (options: FetchItMiddlewareOptions) => {
    // do some logic...
    return false; // returning `false` from a middleware will abort the request.
  }
)

...or...

import FetchItMiddlewareProvider from 'react-fetch-it/MiddlewareProvider';
import type { FetchItMiddleware } from 'react-fetch-it';

export function App() {
  const abortFetchItMiddleware: FetchItMiddleware = (options: FetchItMiddlewareOptions) => {
    // do some logic...
    return false; // returning `false` from a middleware will abort the request. 
  };

  return (
    <FetchItMiddlewareProvider middleware={[
      abortFetchItMiddleware
      // ...
    ]}>
      {/* ... */}
    </FetchItMiddlewareProvider>
  );
}

Middleware

You are able to provide middleware to intercept, modify, cancel, or analyze fetch calls. A few middleware are provided by this package, but you can also create your own and doing so is quite simple.

Provided Middleware

• defaultOptionsMiddleware
• simpleCacheMiddleware
• standardOptionsMiddleware

Creating Your Own Middleware

TODO

Fetch Wrappers

These are provided in case you need to make a request but do not wish to use a hook to do so. This allows all middleware and other options to still be used even when not using a hook.

• doFetch
• fetchDel
• fetchGet
• fetchHead
• fetchPost
• fetchPut
