Axios Wrapper

createApis(axiosOptions)

• Build an Axios API that implements a cancellable request caller that can be cancelled by redux sagas.
• Accepts default Axios options.
• Returns an object with { api, sagaApi } where api is the cancellable axios API, and sagaAPi is an abstraction that uses api to simplify make API calls using redux sagas (see below).

Sample usage:

const { api, sagaApi } = createApis({

baseUrl: 'http://myserver.com',

timeout: 1000

});

const req = api.get('/todos');

req.then(console.log);

if (true) {

// Manually cancel this request

req.cancel()

}

api

The base api object allows you to make regular API calls from anywhere in your app. This is basic axios stuff, with an added cancel function with every request.

path	string	Request URL path
options	object	Axios options

api.put(path, payload, options)

path	Request URL path
payload	Request payload
options	Axios options

api.patch(path, payload, options)

api.post(path, payload, options)

Param	Description
path	Request URL path
payload	Request payload

api.delete(path, payload, options)

Param	Description
path	Request URL path
payload	Request payload
options	Axios options

api.addAuthorization(token)

Sets authorization header on axios instance

Param	Type	Description

api.removeAuthorization()

Removes authorization header on axios instance

api.addHeader(name, value)

Adds a header value

Kind: global function

Param	Type	Description
name	string	header name
value	string	header value

api.removeHeader(name)

Removes a header value

Param	Type	Description
name	string	header name

sagaApi

Saga API is a helper to reduce the amount of code one writes when make an ajax call. Here is your typical ajax call:

try {

const { data } = await axios.get('/todos');

return data;

}

cathch(e) {

console.log(e);

}

If we were to do this inside of sagas it would look like this:

function* () {

try {

const { data } = yield axios.get('/todos');

yield put(fetchSuccess(data));

}

cathch(e) {

yield put(fetchFailed(e));

}

yield put(fetchDone());

}

As you can tell, this can get repetitive, hence why this abstraction was built. Simply put, you pass it a path, payload, success action, fail action, and optional done action. It will handle try catching for you:

yield sagaApi.put('/todos/1', { done: true }, updateSuccess, updateFail, udpateDone?);

info

If you decide to add a saga for done action, you will receive a payload of { data, error } so you can decide how to proceed given the results. This is good for when you want to perform certain actions regardless of success or fail.
