HTTP101 VS axios

This blog assumes you've read the first three parts of the series or are familiar with basic command line, async Javascript, and HTTP messages. You can view all of the code for this series in the Github repository.

In this part of the series, I'll demonstrate generating HTTP responses from a simple Node.js Express server and the corresponding HTTP requests in a simple React app. You can view all of the code in the Github repository.

If your PWA requires displaying dynamic data, consider utilizing React libraries like axios or the built-in fetch API to retrieve data from APIs or servers.

Also, copy this code to add axios

Typically, there are various ways to choose an HTTP client, and for this example, I've chosen axios.

For this article, I will be using the TypeScript Starter template as shown in the screenshot above. This comes with Nodejs, Cheerio, Axios

Axios is suitable for a wide range of web development projects, from simple single-page applications (SPAs) to complex, large-scale enterprise software.
