I learnt Axios is using the old XMLHttpRequests as its backend, no wonder it has so many bugs recently.
Then I did some research on fetch api based api client, SuperAgent seems to be the best choice

E-commerce is hard.

Optimising pages for web vitals.

Getting UX right for customers to not feel lost or overwhelmed.

Competing with the large market places is tough.

But....

It's all great fun

I got a book about object-oriented programming, so I'm learning that right now! I'm already familiar with JSON, so that makes it a lot easier!

I have not!! But woooahhh, this looks right up my alley indeed. Might even get me to learn a bit of code. πŸ˜…

I see that we got a few folks on DEV who've written on it as well.

Wow, I'm seriously going to look into this some more. Thanks a bunch for sharing!

Learned and still learning Integration and unit tests with cypress, coming from jest and mocha it is pretty easy to get up and running with.
Especially love the fact that it comes bundled with native browser support and can still be run in headless mode for CI/CD with is important to me for my web dev projects
