Step 1: Install Axios

npm install axios

Step 2: Setting Up Axios Instance (Optional)

// ๐Ÿ“‚ /src/utils/axios.jsx
import axios from "axios";

const instance = axios.create({
    baseURL: "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/",
    timeout: 10000, // Optional: Set a timeout for requests
    headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json', // Set default headers
    },
})

export default instance;

// https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users

// https -> protocol
// jsonplaceholder -> domaain/name
// typicode.com -> subdomain
// /users -> endpoint/route

step 3: Using Axios Instance:

import React, { useEffect, useState } from 'react'

// import axios from 'axios'
import axios from "../utils/axios";    // Using Axios Instance:


const Users = () => {
  const [users, setUsers] = useState([]);

  const getUser = async () => {
    try {
      // const response = await axios.get('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users')
      const response = await axios.get('/users')
      console.log(response.data);
      setUsers(response.data);
    } catch (error) {
      console.error(error)
    }
  }

  useEffect(() => {
    getUser();
    return () => {
      console.log("Component Unmounted");
    }
  }, [])

  return (
    <div className='container '>
        {users.map((user) => {
          return <li key={user.id} className='list-user' >{user.name}</li>
        })}
    </div>
  )
}
export default Users
