## Installing
Using npm:
```bash
$ npm install axios
```
Using bower:
```bash
$ bower install axios
```
Using yarn:
```bash
$ yarn add axios
```
Using jsDelivr CDN:
```html
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/axios/dist/axios.min.js"></script>
```
Using unpkg CDN:
```html
<script src="https://unpkg.com/axios/dist/axios.min.js"></script>
```
## Example
### note: CommonJS usage
In order to gain the TypeScript typings (for intellisense / autocomplete) while using CommonJS imports with `require()` use the following approach:
```js
const axios = require('axios').default;
// axios.<method> will now provide autocomplete and parameter typings
```
Performing a `GET` request
```js
const axios = require('axios');
// Make a request for a user with a given ID
axios.get('/user?ID=12345')
.then(function (response) {
// handle success
console.log(response);
})
.catch(function (error) {
// handle error
console.log(error);
})
.then(function () {
// always executed
});
// Optionally the request above could also be done as
axios.get('/user', {
params: {
ID: 12345
}
})
.then(function (response) {
console.log(response);
})
.catch(function (error) {
console.log(error);
})
.then(function () {
// always executed
});
// Want to use async/await? Add the `async` keyword to your outer function/method.
async function getUser() {
try {
const response = await axios.get('/user?ID=12345');
console.log(response);
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
}
}
```
> **NOTE:** `async/await` is part of ECMAScript 2017 and is not supported in Internet
> Explorer and older browsers, so use with caution.
Performing a `POST` request
```js
axios.post('/user', {
firstName: 'Fred',
lastName: 'Flintstone'
})
.then(function (response) {
console.log(response);
})
.catch(function (error) {
console.log(error);
});
```
Performing multiple concurrent requests
```js
function getUserAccount() {
return axios.get('/user/12345');
}
function getUserPermissions() {
return axios.get('/user/12345/permissions');
}
Promise.all([getUserAccount(), getUserPermissions()])
.then(function (results) {
const acct = results[0];
const perm = results[1];
});
```
## axios API
Requests can be made by passing the relevant config to `axios`.
##### axios(config)
```js
// Send a POST request
axios({
method: 'post',
url: '/user/12345',
data: {
firstName: 'Fred',
lastName: 'Flintstone'
}
});
```
```js
// GET request for remote image in node.js
axios({
method: 'get',
url: 'http://bit.ly/2mTM3nY',
responseType: 'stream'
})
.then(function (response) {
response.data.pipe(fs.createWriteStream('ada_lovelace.jpg'))
});
```
##### axios(url[, config])
```js
// Send a GET request (default method)
axios('/user/12345');
```
### Request method aliases
For convenience aliases have been provided for all supported request methods.
##### axios.request(config)
##### axios.get(url[, config])
##### axios.delete(url[, config])
##### axios.head(url[, config])
##### axios.options(url[, config])
##### axios.post(url[, data[, config]])
##### axios.put(url[, data[, config]])
##### axios.patch(url[, data[, config]])
###### NOTE
When using the alias methods `url`, `method`, and `data` properties don't need to be specified in config.
### Concurrency (Deprecated)
Please use `Promise.all` to replace the below functions.
Helper functions for dealing with concurrent requests.
axios.all(iterable)
axios.spread(callback)
### Creating an instance
You can create a new instance of axios with a custom config.
##### axios.create([config])
```js
const instance = axios.create({
baseURL: 'https://some-domain.com/api/',
timeout: 1000,
headers: {'X-Custom-Header': 'foobar'}
});
```
### Instance methods
The available instance methods are listed below. The specified config will be merged with the instance config.
##### axios#request(config)
##### axios#get(url[, config])
##### axios#delete(url[, config])
##### axios#head(url[, config])
##### axios#options(url[, config])
##### axios#post(url[, data[, config]])
##### axios#put(url[, data[, config]])
##### axios#patch(url[, data[, config]])
##### axios#getUri([config])
## Request Config
These are the available config options for making requests. Only the `url` is required. Requests will default to `GET` if `method` is not specified.
```js
{
// `url`
