use-http
A React hook for making isomorphic HTTP requests with built-in caching, GraphQL support, and request/response interceptors.
What is use-http?
useFetch is a React hook for making isomorphic HTTP requests that works in both client and server environments. It simplifies data fetching by providing built-in state management, caching, GraphQL support, and request lifecycle controls. The hook addresses common challenges like handling loading states, errors, retries, and request cancellation in React applications.
React developers building applications that require data fetching from APIs, especially those needing SSR compatibility, GraphQL integration, or advanced request features like caching and interceptors.
Developers choose useFetch because it consolidates multiple data-fetching concerns into a single, well-designed hook with a rich feature set. Its isomorphic nature, GraphQL support, and extensive configuration options make it a versatile alternative to combining separate libraries for fetching, caching, and state management.
