Question 1

Should I use Redaxios or Axios for my project?

Accepted Answer

Redaxios is ideal if bundle size is critical and you only need basic HTTP requests with the Axios API. Axios is better for advanced features like interceptors or server-side use. Evaluate based on your project's complexity and performance needs.

Question 2

How to migrate from Axios to Redaxios?

Accepted Answer

Simply install Redaxios via npm or yarn, replace the import statement from 'axios' to 'redaxios', and use the same API calls. Most basic requests will work without changes, but test for missing features like interceptors.

Question 3

Does Redaxios support request and response interceptors?

Accepted Answer

No, Redaxios does not include interceptors. It's a minimal implementation focused on core Axios functionality using Fetch, so for interceptors, you'd need to stick with Axios or implement custom solutions.

Question 4

What browsers does Redaxios work with?

Accepted Answer

Redaxios works with all modern browsers that support the Fetch API. For older browsers, you need to add a Fetch polyfill, which is often bundled in tools like Next.js or Create React App.

Question 5

Can I use Redaxios with Node.js?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but you must polyfill the Fetch API in Node.js, such as with 'node-fetch'. Redaxios doesn't provide native server-side support, so setup requires extra dependencies and configuration.

Question 6

How does Redaxios handle errors compared to Axios?

Accepted Answer

Redaxios uses the Fetch API's error handling, which throws errors for network failures but may not provide the same structured error responses as Axios. Check for compatibility in your error-handling code.

Question 7

Is Redaxios actively maintained and stable?

Accepted Answer

Check the GitHub repository for recent activity. As a minimal project, updates might be less frequent, but it's stable for basic use cases. For production, verify compatibility with your toolchain.
