useFetch - React custom hook

Hook to fetch data with fetchAPI.

Also can handle errors and loading state.

Why useFetch?

With this hook, you can get a json data from an url and handle the following variables:

  • Fetched data.
  • Loading boolean.
  • Error data.

When that vars are updated, your component is re-rendedred.

Usage

Just install:

npm install react-hook-usefetch

And import the hook.

import useFetch from 'react-hook-usefetch';

Use it in your component:

const YourComponent = props => {
  ...
  const data = useFetch('url', options);
  ...
}

Optional, you can send personal settings as second parameter:

const headers = new Headers();

const options = {
    method: 'GET',
    headers,
    mode: 'cors',
    cache: 'default',
    ...more
};

Full Example

import React from 'react';
import useFetch from 'react-hook-usefetch';

export default () => {
  const { data, loading, error } = useFetch('https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon', {});

  const getData = () => {
    if (error.status) return <li><p>Error: {error.message}</p></li>;
    if (loading) return <li><p>Loading...</p></li>;
    if (data.results) return data.results.map((poke, i) => <li key={`poke-${i}`}><p>{poke.name}</p></li>);
  }

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Test</h1>
      <ul>
        {getData()}
      </ul>
    </div>
  );

}
