HTTP React

Http React is a React hooks library for data fetching. It's built on top of the native Fetch API.

Overview

With one hook call, you get all the information about a request that you can use to build UIs that are consistent and performant:

import useFetch from 'http-react'

// This is the default fetcher.
const fetcher = (url, config) => fetch(url, config)

export default function App() {
  const { data, loading, error, responseTime } = useFetch('/api/user-info', {
    refresh: '30 sec',
    fetcher
  })

  if (loading) return <p>Loading</p>

  if (error) return <p>An error ocurred</p>

  return (
    <div>
      <h2>Welcome, {data.name}</h2>
      <small>Profile loaded in {responseTime} miliseconds</small>
    </div>
  )
}

It also works with Next.js' server functions:

// actions.ts
'use server'

import { actionData } from 'http-react'

export async function getData({ id }: { id: number }) {
  return actionData({
    foo: 'bar'
  })
}

// page.tsx
'use client'
import { useAction } from 'http-react'

import { getData } from '@/actions'

export default function Page() {
  // data has static typing inferred from the action result
  const { data, isPending, error } = useAction(getData, {
    params: {
      id: 1 // This will show an error if id is not a number
    }
  })

  return isPending ? (
    <p>Loading...</p>
  ) : error ? (
    <p>Something went wrong</p>
  ) : (
    <div>
      <h2>Welcome</h2>
      <p>{data.foo}</p>
    </div>
  )
}

It supports many features that are necessary in modern applications, while giving developers full control over the request configuration:

• Server-Side Rendering
• Server actions
• React Native
• Request deduplication
• Suspense
• Refresh
• Retry on error
• Pagination
• Local mutation (Optimistic UI)
• qraphql

and more!

Installation:
