I recommend reading this article by Faraz Kelhini :

• why axios instead of fetch

Axios installation

cdn

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/axios/dist/axios.min.js"></script>

Or:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/axios/dist/axios.min.js"></script>

npm

npm i axios

yarn

yarn add axios

bower

bower install axios

PUT request using axios

PUT: is a request used for creating or updating a resource in a specific server.

Code using then and catch

import { useEffect } from 'react';
import axios from 'axios';

const todo = {
    id: 10,
    title: 'go to gym',
    body: 'practicing sport is very important',
    userId: 2,
};

const App = () => {
    useEffect(() => {
        axios
            .put('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/10', todo)
            .then((response) => {
                console.log(response.status);
                console.log(response.data);
            })
            .catch((e) => console.log('something went wrong :(', e));
    }, []);
    return <div>PUT REQUEST</div>;
};
export default App;

Console

200
{id: 10, title: "go to gym", body: "practicing sport is very important", userId: 2}

Code using async and await

import { useEffect } from 'react';
import axios from 'axios';

const todo = {
    id: 10,
    title: 'go to gym',
    body: 'practicing sport is very important',
    userId: 2,
};

const App = () => {
    useEffect(() => {
        const putTodo = async () => {
            try {
                const response = await axios.put(
                    'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/10',
                    todo,
                );
                console.log(response.status);
                console.log(response.data);
            } catch (e) {
                console.log('something went wrong :(', e);
            }
        };
        putTodo();
    }, []);
    return <div>PUT REQUEST</div>;
};
export default App;

Console

200
{id: 10, title: "go to gym", body: "practicing sport is very important", userId: 2}

DELETE request using axios

DELETE: is a request used to delete a specific resource in a server.

Code using then and catch

import { useEffect } from 'react';
import axios from 'axios';

const App = () => {
    useEffect(() => {
        axios
            .delete('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/10')
            .then((response) => {
                console.log(response.status);
            })
            .catch((e) => console.log('something went wrong!', e));
    }, []);
    return <div>DELETE REQUEST</div>;
};
export default App;

const App = () => {
    useEffect(() => {

                const response = await axios.delete(
                    'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/10',
                );
                console.log(response.status);
            } catch (e) {
                console.log('something went wrong!', e);
            }
        };
        deleteTodo();
