python-decouple VS axios

Use a library likepython-decouple to separate secrets like DB_xxx, SECRET_KEY, etc. Then follow this deploy to Digital Ocean. It might be slightly out of date, but I'm pretty sure it'll work just fine.

I wish Django was more "12-factor" compliant by default. Reading secrets from environment variables should be a first-class citizen and it's not. I typically use python-decouple (https://github.com/henriquebastos/python-decouple/) for that but it would be great to have it as default.

python-decouple: We can remove sensitive data like SEECERT_KEY, DB Password from settings.py and add it in .env file.

I’ve been using this for a while and it seems to solve this pretty well.

First, about the libraries that will be used, there will be three: Python Requests, json and Python Decouple. Python Requests will be responsible for carrying out the HTTP requests, json will help handle the responses obtained for the .json format, and the Python Decouple library will assist in the separation of the authentication from what is in the code.

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

axios: To fetch data from the Strapi CMS API and also to fetch responses from our Express server.

Note, you can use any library for HTTP requests like axios. This example uses the http and node-fetch libraries available on npm.

Interact with other APIs over an encrypted channel. For example, you can use Axios with Node.js.

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.

Axios for streamlined API interactions, facilitating seamless data fetching.

Axios is a popular HTTP client library for Node.js that provides a more user-friendly and feature-rich way to make HTTP requests. Axios simplifies error handling and supports features like automatic JSON parsing and request/response interceptors, making it a great choice for many HTTP request scenarios.

For this tutorial, we’re going to scan the file for malware using Verisys Antivirus API, and so we’ll add a package to make it easier to make external HTTP requests. Popular choices include Axios and node-fetch - for this article, we’ll use node-fetch

In the dynamic realm of JavaScript and front-end development, selecting the appropriate tool for HTTP requests is critical. Axios and Fetch stand out as two leading contenders, each offering distinct features and benefits. This article delves into their differences and practical applications, providing a comprehensive comparison.
