In this article, we would like to show you how to make Axios GET requests in React.

Note: it is required to add external library to run below example, so use:

npm install axios

Axios GET request example

Edit

In the example below, we use async-await, but you might as well do it on promises.

xxxxxxxxxx
 
import React from 'react'
import axios from 'axios'
​
const App = () => {
    const handleClick = async () => {
        try {
            const response = await axios.get('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/4');
            if (response.status === 200) {
                console.log(response.data);
            } else {
                console.error('Status 200 expected.');
            }
        } catch(error) {
            console.error(error);
        }
    };
    return (
        <div>
            <button onClick={handleClick}>Click to send GET request</button>
        </div>
    );
};
​
export default App;
