I recently made my first contribution to Axios, and it got merged.
What is Axios?
Axios is a popular library used to make HTTP requests. Millions of projects depend on it.
The Problem
When an error occurred, Axios returned an object with a hidden circular reference.
Because of this, some applications crashed when trying to log the error.
What I Did
- Identified the root cause
- Fixed the issue with a small change
- Added test cases
- Worked with the maintainer and improved the solution
Finally, the PR got merged ✅
PR Link: https://github.com/axios/axios/pull/10913
What I Learned
- Start small in open source
- Be patient with feedback
- Write proper test cases
- Even small fixes can have big impact
Thanks to the maintainer for the guidance.
If you're thinking about open source, just start. You’ll learn a lot.
Note: The banner I shared is a personal design to celebrate this milestone.
