| ## Installing | |
| ### Package manager | |
| Using npm: | |
| ```bash | |
| $ npm install axios | |
| ``` | |
| Using bower: | |
| ```bash | |
| $ bower install axios | |
| ``` | |
| Using yarn: | |
| ```bash | |
| $ yarn add axios | |
| ``` | |
| Using pnpm: | |
| ```bash | |
| $ pnpm add axios | |
| ``` | |
| Once the package is installed, you can import the library using `import` or `require` approach: | |
| ```js | |
| import axios, {isCancel, AxiosError} from 'axios'; | |
| ``` | |
| You can also use the default export, since the named export is just a re-export from the Axios factory: | |
| ```js | |
| import axios from 'axios'; | |
| console.log(axios.isCancel('something')); | |
| ```` | |
| If you use `require` for importing, **only default export is available**: | |
| ```js | |
| const axios = require('axios'); | |
| console.log(axios.isCancel('something')); | |
| ``` | |
| For cases where something went wrong when trying to import a module into a custom or legacy environment, | |
| you can try importing the module package directly: | |
| ```js | |
| const axios = require('axios/dist/browser/axios.cjs'); // browser commonJS bundle (ES2017) | |
| // const axios = require('axios/dist/node/axios.cjs'); // node commonJS bundle (ES2017) | |
| ``` | |
| ### CDN | |
| Using jsDelivr CDN (ES5 UMD browser module): | |
| ```html | |
| <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/axios@1.1.2/dist/axios.min.js"></script> | |
| ``` | |
| Using unpkg CDN: | |
| ```html | |
| <script src="https://unpkg.com/axios@1.1.2/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 | |
| import axios from 'axios'; | |
| //const axios = require('axios'); // legacy way | |
| // 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); | |
| }) | |
| .finally(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); | |
| }) | |
| .finally(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: 'https://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 common 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` is the server URL that will be used for the request | |
| url: '/user', | |
| // `method` is the request method to be used when making the request | |
| method: 'get', // default | |
| // `baseURL` will be prepended to `url` unless `url` is absolute. | |
| // It can be convenient to set `baseURL` for an instance of axios to pass relative URLs | |
| // to methods of that instance. | |
| baseURL: 'https://some-domain.com/api/', | |
| // `transformRequest` allows changes to the request data before it is sent to the server | |
| // This is only applicable for request methods 'PUT', 'POST', 'PATCH' and 'DELETE' | |
| // The last function in the array must return a string or an instance of Buffer, ArrayBuffer, | |
| // FormData or Stream | |
| // You may modify the headers object. | |
| transformRequest: [function (data, headers) { | |
| // Do whatever you want to transform the data | |
| return data; | |
| }], | |
| // `transformResponse` allows changes to the response data to be made before | |
| // it is passed to then/catch | |
| transformResponse: [function (data) { | |
| // Do whatever you want to transform the data | |
| return data; | |
| }], | |
| // `headers` are custom headers to be sent | |
| headers: {'X-Requested-With': 'XMLHttpRequest'}, | |
| // `params` are the URL parameters to be sent with the request | |
| // Must be a plain object or a URLSearchParams object | |
| params: { | |
| ID: 12345 | |
| }, | |
| // `paramsSerializer` is an optional config that allows you to customize serializing `params`. | |
| paramsSerializer: { | |
| //Custom encoder function which sends key/value pairs in an iterative fashion. | |
| encode?: (param: string): string => { /* Do custom operations here and return transformed string */ }, | |
| // Custom serializer function for the entire parameter. Allows user to mimic pre 1.x behaviour. | |
| serialize?: (params: Record<string, any>, options?: ParamsSerializerOptions ), | |
| //Configuration for formatting array indexes in the params. | |
| indexes: false // Three available options: (1) indexes: null (leads to no brackets), (2) (default) indexes: false (leads to empty brackets), (3) indexes: true (leads to brackets with indexes). | |
| }, | |
| // `data` is the data to be sent as the request body | |
| // Only applicable for request methods 'PUT', 'POST', 'DELETE , and 'PATCH' | |
| // When no `transformRequest` is set, must be of one of the following types: | |
| // - string, plain object, ArrayBuffer, ArrayBufferView, URLSearchParams | |
| // - Browser only: FormData, File, Blob | |
| // - Node only: Stream, Buffer, FormData (form-data package) | |
| data: { | |
| firstName: 'Fred' | |
| }, | |
| // syntax alternative to send data into the body | |
| // method post | |
| // only the value is sent, not the key | |
| data: 'Country=Brasil&City=Belo Horizonte', | |
| // `timeout` specifies the number of milliseconds before the request times out. | |
| // If the request takes longer than `timeout`, the request will be aborted. | |
| timeout: 1000, // default is `0` (no timeout) | |
| // `withCredentials` indicates whether or not cross-site Access-Control requests | |
| // should be made using credentials | |
| withCredentials: false, // default | |
| // `adapter` allows custom handling of requests which makes testing easier. | |
| // Return a promise and supply a valid response (see lib/adapters/README.md). | |
| adapter: function (config) { | |
| /* ... */ | |
| }, | |
| // `auth` indicates that HTTP Basic auth should be used, and supplies credentials. | |
| // This will set an `Authorization` header, overwriting any existing | |
| // `Authorization` custom headers you have set using `headers`. | |
| // Please note that only HTTP Basic auth is configurable through this parameter. | |
| // For Bearer tokens and such, use `Authorization` custom headers instead. | |
| auth: { | |
| username: 'janedoe', | |
| password: 's00pers3cret' | |
| }, | |
| // `responseType` indicates the type of data that the server will respond with | |
| // options are: 'arraybuffer', 'document', 'json', 'text', 'stream' | |
| // browser only: 'blob' | |
| responseType: 'json', // default | |
| // `responseEncoding` indicates encoding to use for decoding responses (Node.js only) | |
| // Note: Ignored for `responseType` of 'stream' or client-side requests | |
| responseEncoding: 'utf8', // default | |
| // `xsrfCookieName` is the name of the cookie to use as a value for xsrf token | |
| xsrfCookieName: 'XSRF-TOKEN', // default | |
| // `xsrfHeaderName` is the name of the http header that carries the xsrf token value | |
| xsrfHeaderName: 'X-XSRF-TOKEN', // default | |
| // `undefined` (default) - set XSRF header only for the same origin requests | |
| withXSRFToken: boolean | undefined | ((config: InternalAxiosRequestConfig) => boolean | undefined), | |
| // `onUploadProgress` allows handling of progress events for uploads | |
| // browser & node.js | |
| onUploadProgress: function ({loaded, total, progress, bytes, estimated, rate, upload = true}) { | |
| // Do whatever you want with the Axios progress event | |
| }, | |
| // `onDownloadProgress` allows handling of progress events for downloads | |
| // browser & node.js | |
| onDownloadProgress: function ({loaded, total, progress, bytes, estimated, rate, download = true}) { | |
| // Do whatever you want with the Axios progress event | |
| }, | |
| // `maxContentLength` defines the max size of the http response content in bytes allowed in node.js | |
| maxContentLength: 2000, | |
| // `maxBodyLength` (Node only option) defines the max size of the http request content in bytes allowed | |
| maxBodyLength: 2000, | |
| // `validateStatus` defines whether to resolve or reject the promise for a given | |
| // HTTP response status code. If `validateStatus` returns `true` (or is set to `null` | |
| // or `undefined`), the promise will be resolved; otherwise, the promise will be | |
| // rejected. | |
| validateStatus: function (status) { | |
| return status >= 200 && status < 300; // default | |
| }, | |
| // `maxRedirects` defines the maximum number of redirects to follow in node.js. | |
| // If set to 0, no redirects will be followed. | |
| maxRedirects: 21, // default | |
| // `beforeRedirect` defines a function that will be called before redirect. | |
| // Use this to adjust the request options upon redirecting, | |
| // to inspect the latest response headers, | |
| // or to cancel the request by throwing an error | |
| // If maxRedirects is set to 0, `beforeRedirect` is not used. | |
| beforeRedirect: (options, { headers }) => { | |
| if (options.hostname === "example.com") { | |
| options.auth = "user:password"; | |
| } | |
| }, | |
| // `socketPath` defines a UNIX Socket to be used in node.js. | |
| // e.g. '/var/run/docker.sock' to send requests to the docker daemon. | |
| // Only either `socketPath` or `proxy` can be specified. | |
| // If both are specified, `socketPath` is used. | |
| socketPath: null, // default | |
| // `transport` determines the transport method that will be used to make the request. If defined, it will be used. Otherwise, if `maxRedirects` is 0, the default `http` or `https` library will be used, depending on the protocol specified in `protocol`. Otherwise, the `httpFollow` or `httpsFollow` library will be used, again depending on the protocol, which can handle redirects. | |
| transport: undefined, // default | |
| // `httpAgent` and `httpsAgent` define a custom agent to be used when performing http | |
| // and https requests, respectively, in node.js. This allows options to be added like | |
| // `keepAlive` that are not enabled by default. | |
| httpAgent: new http.Agent({ keepAlive: true }), | |
| httpsAgent: new https.Agent({ keepAlive: true }), | |
| // `proxy` defines the hostname, port, and protocol of the proxy server. | |
| // You can also define your proxy using the conventional `http_proxy` and | |
| // `https_proxy` environment variables. If you are using environment variables | |
| // for your proxy configuration, you can also define a `no_proxy` environment | |
| // variable as a comma-separated list of domains that should not be proxied. | |
| // Use `false` to disable proxies, ignoring environment variables. | |
| // `auth` indicates that HTTP Basic auth should be used to connect to the proxy, and | |
| // supplies credentials. | |
| // This will set an `Proxy-Authorization` header, overwriting any existing | |
| // `Proxy-Authorization` custom headers you have set using `headers`. | |
| // If the proxy server uses HTTPS, then you must set the protocol to `https`. | |
| proxy: { | |

| The response for a request contains the following information. | |
| ```js | |
| { | |
| // `data` is the response that was provided by the server | |
| data: {}, | |
| // `status` is the HTTP status code from the server response | |
| status: 200, | |
| // `statusText` is the HTTP status message from the server response | |
| statusText: 'OK', | |
| // `headers` the HTTP headers that the server responded with | |
| // All header names are lowercase and can be accessed using the bracket notation. | |
| // Example: `response.headers['content-type']` | |
| headers: {}, | |
| // `config` is the config that was provided to `axios` for the request | |
| config: {}, | |
| // `request` is the request that generated this response | |
| // It is the last ClientRequest instance in node.js (in redirects) | |
| // and an XMLHttpRequest instance in the browser | |
| request: {} | |
| } | |
| ``` | |
| When using `then`, you will receive the response as follows: | |
| ```js | |
| axios.get('/user/12345') | |
| .then(function (response) { | |
| console.log(response.data); | |
| console.log(response.status); | |
| console.log(response.statusText); | |
| console.log(response.headers); | |
| console.log(response.config); | |
| }); | |
| ``` | |
| When using `catch`, or passing a [rejection callback](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise/then) as second parameter of `then`, the response will be available through the `error` object as explained in the [Handling Errors](#handling-errors) section. | |
| ## Config Defaults | |
| You can specify config defaults that will be applied to every request. | |
| ### Global axios defaults | |
| ```js | |
| axios.defaults.baseURL = 'https://api.example.com'; | |
| // Important: If axios is used with multiple domains, the AUTH_TOKEN will be sent to all of them. | |
| // See below for an example using Custom instance defaults instead. | |
| axios.defaults.headers.common['Authorization'] = AUTH_TOKEN; | |
| axios.defaults.headers.post['Content-Type'] = 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'; | |
| ``` | |
| ### Custom instance defaults | |
| ```js | |
| // Set config defaults when creating the instance | |
| const instance = axios.create({ | |
| baseURL: 'https://api.example.com' | |
| }); | |
| // Alter defaults after instance has been created | |
| instance.defaults.headers.common['Authorization'] = AUTH_TOKEN; | |
| ``` | |
| ### Config order of precedence | |
| Config will be merged with an order of precedence. The order is library defaults found in [lib/defaults.js](https://github.com/axios/axios/blob/master/lib/defaults/index.js#L28), then `defaults` property of the instance, and finally `config` argument for the request. The latter will take precedence over the former. Here's an example. | |
| ```js | |
| // Create an instance using the config defaults provided by the library | |
| // At this point the timeout config value is `0` as is the default for the library | |
| const instance = axios.create(); | |
| // Override timeout default for the library | |
| // Now all requests using this instance will wait 2.5 seconds before timing out | |
| instance.defaults.timeout = 2500; | |
| // Override timeout for this request as it's known to take a long time | |
| instance.get('/longRequest', { | |
| timeout: 5000 | |
| }); | |
| ``` | |
| ## Interceptors | |
| You can intercept requests or responses before they are handled by `then` or `catch`. | |
| ```js | |
| // Add a request interceptor | |
| axios.interceptors.request.use(function (config) { | |
| // Do something before request is sent | |
| return config; | |
| }, function (error) { | |
| // Do something with request error | |
| return Promise.reject(error); | |
| }); | |
| // Add a response interceptor | |
| axios.interceptors.response.use(function (response) { | |
| // Any status code that lie within the range of 2xx cause this function to trigger | |
| // Do something with response data | |
| return response; | |
| }, function (error) { | |
| // Any status codes that falls outside the range of 2xx cause this function to trigger | |
| // Do something with response error | |
| return Promise.reject(error); | |
| }); | |
| ``` | |
| If you need to remove an interceptor later you can. | |
| ```js | |
| const myInterceptor = axios.interceptors.request.use(function () {/*...*/}); | |
| axios.interceptors.request.eject(myInterceptor); | |
| ``` | |
| You can also clear all interceptors for requests or responses. | |
| ```js | |
| const instance = axios.create(); | |
| instance.interceptors.request.use(function () {/*...*/}); | |
| instance.interceptors.request.clear(); // Removes interceptors from requests | |
| instance.interceptors.response.use(function () {/*...*/}); | |
| instance.interceptors.response.clear(); // Removes interceptors from responses | |
| ``` | |
| You can add interceptors to a custom instance of axios. | |
| ```js | |
| const instance = axios.create(); | |
| instance.interceptors.request.use(function () {/*...*/}); | |
| ``` | |
| When you add request interceptors, they are presumed to be asynchronous by default. This can cause a delay | |
| in the execution of your axios request when the main thread is blocked (a promise is created under the hood for | |
| the interceptor and your request gets put on the bottom of the call stack). If your request interceptors are synchronous you can add a flag | |
| to the options object that will tell axios to run the code synchronously and avoid any delays in request execution. | |
| ```js | |
| axios.interceptors.request.use(function (config) { | |
| config.headers.test = 'I am only a header!'; | |
| return config; | |
| }, null, { synchronous: true }); | |
| ``` | |
| If you want to execute a particular interceptor based on a runtime check, | |
| you can add a `runWhen` function to the options object. The interceptor will not be executed **if and only if** the return | |
| of `runWhen` is `false`. The function will be called with the config | |
| object (don't forget that you can bind your own arguments to it as well.) This can be handy when you have an | |
| asynchronous request interceptor that only needs to run at certain times. | |
| ```js | |
| function onGetCall(config) { | |
| return config.method === 'get'; | |
| } | |
| axios.interceptors.request.use(function (config) { | |
| config.headers.test = 'special get headers'; | |
| return config; | |
| }, null, { runWhen: onGetCall }); | |
| ``` | |
| ### Multiple Interceptors | |
| Given you add multiple response interceptors | |
| and when the response was fulfilled | |
| - then each interceptor is executed | |
| - then they are executed in the order they were added | |
| - then only the last interceptor's result is returned | |
| - then every interceptor receives the result of its predecessor | |
| - and when the fulfillment-interceptor throws | |
| - then the following fulfillment-interceptor is not called | |
| - then the following rejection-interceptor is called | |
| - once caught, another following fulfill-interceptor is called again (just like in a promise chain). | |
| Read [the interceptor tests](./test/specs/interceptors.spec.js) for seeing all this in code. | |
| ## Error Types | |
| There are many different axios error messages that can appear that can provide basic information about the specifics of the error and where opportunities may lie in debugging. | |
| The general structure of axios errors is as follows: | |
| | Property | Definition | | |
| | -------- | ---------- | | |
| | message | A quick summary of the error message and the status it failed with. | | |
| | name | This defines where the error originated from. For axios, it will always be an 'AxiosError'. | | |
| | stack | Provides the stack trace of the error. | | |
| | config | An axios config object with specific instance configurations defined by the user from when the request was made | | |
| | code | Represents an axios identified error. The table below lists out specific definitions for internal axios error. | | |
| | status | HTTP response status code. See [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes) for common HTTP response status code meanings. | |
| Below is a list of potential axios identified error | |
| | Code | Definition | | |
| | -------- | ---------- | | |
| | ERR_BAD_OPTION_VALUE | Invalid or unsupported value provided in axios configuration. | | |
| | ERR_BAD_OPTION | Invalid option provided in axios configuration. | | |
| | ECONNABORTED | Request timed out due to exceeding timeout specified in axios configuration. | | |
| | ETIMEDOUT | Request timed out due to exceeding default axios timelimit. | | |
| | ERR_NETWORK | Network-related issue. | |
| | ERR_FR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS | Request is redirected too many times; exceeds max redirects specified in axios configuration. | |
| | ERR_DEPRECATED | Deprecated feature or method used in axios. | |
| | ERR_BAD_RESPONSE | Response cannot be parsed properly or is in an unexpected format. | |
| | ERR_BAD_REQUEST | Requested has unexpected format or missing required parameters. | | |
| | ERR_CANCELED | Feature or method is canceled explicitly by the user. | |
| | ERR_NOT_SUPPORT | Feature or method not supported in the current axios environment. | |
| | ERR_INVALID_URL | Invalid URL provided for axios request. | |
| ## Handling Errors | |
| the default behavior is to reject every response that returns with a status code that falls out of the range of 2xx and treat it as an error. | |
| ```js | |
| axios.get('/user/12345') | |
| .catch(function (error) { | |
| if (error.response) { | |
| // The request was made and the server responded with a status code | |
| // that falls out of the range of 2xx | |
| console.log(error.response.data); | |
| console.log(error.response.status); | |
| console.log(error.response.headers); | |
| } else if (error.request) { | |
| // The request was made but no response was received | |
| // `error.request` is an instance of XMLHttpRequest in the browser and an instance of | |
| // http.ClientRequest in node.js | |
| console.log(error.request); | |
| } else { | |
| // Something happened in setting up the request that triggered an Error | |
| console.log('Error', error.message); | |
| } | |
| console.log(error.config); | |
| }); | |
| ``` | |
| Using the `validateStatus` config option, you can override the default condition (status >= 200 && status < 300) and define HTTP code(s) that should throw an error. | |
| ```js | |
| axios.get('/user/12345', { | |
| validateStatus: function (status) { | |
| return status < 500; // Resolve only if the status code is less than 500 | |
| } | |
| }) | |
| ``` | |
| Using `toJSON` you get an object with more information about the HTTP error. | |
| ```js | |
| axios.get('/user/12345') | |
| .catch(function (error) { | |
| console.log(error.toJSON()); | |
| }); | |
| ``` | |
| ## Cancellation | |
| ### AbortController | |
| Starting from `v0.22.0` Axios supports AbortController to cancel requests in fetch API way: | |
| ```js | |
| const controller = new AbortController(); | |
| axios.get('/foo/bar', { | |
| signal: controller.signal | |
| }).then(function(response) { | |
| //... | |
| }); | |
| // cancel the request | |
| controller.abort() | |
| ``` | |
| ### CancelToken `👎deprecated` | |
| You can also cancel a request using a *CancelToken*. | |
| > The axios cancel token API is based on the withdrawn [cancellable promises proposal](https://github.com/tc39/proposal-cancelable-promises). | |
| > This API is deprecated since v0.22.0 and shouldn't be used in new projects | |
| You can create a cancel token using the `CancelToken.source` factory as shown below: | |
| ```js | |
| const CancelToken = axios.CancelToken; | |
| const source = CancelToken.source(); | |
| axios.get('/user/12345', { | |
| cancelToken: source.token | |
| }).catch(function (thrown) { | |
| if (axios.isCancel(thrown)) { | |
| console.log('Request canceled', thrown.message); | |
| } else { | |
| // handle error | |
| } | |
| }); | |
| axios.post('/user/12345', { | |
| name: 'new name' | |
| }, { | |
| cancelToken: source.token | |
| }) | |
| // cancel the request (the message parameter is optional) | |
| source.cancel('Operation canceled by the user.'); | |
| ``` | |
| You can also create a cancel token by passing an executor function to the `CancelToken` constructor: | |
| ```js | |
| const CancelToken = axios.CancelToken; | |
| let cancel; | |
| axios.get('/user/12345', { | |
| cancelToken: new CancelToken(function executor(c) { | |
| // An executor function receives a cancel function as a parameter | |
| cancel = c; | |
| }) | |
| }); | |
| // cancel the request | |
| cancel(); | |
| ``` | |
| > **Note:** you can cancel several requests with the same cancel token/abort controller. | |
| > If a cancellation token is already cancelled at the moment of starting an Axios request, then the request is cancelled immediately, without any attempts to make a real request. | |
| > During the transition period, you can use both cancellation APIs, even for the same request: | |
| ## Using `application/x-www-form-urlencoded` format | |
| ### URLSearchParams | |
| By default, axios serializes JavaScript objects to `JSON`. To send data in the [`application/x-www-form-urlencoded` format](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Methods/POST) instead, you can use the [`URLSearchParams`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/URLSearchParams) API, which is [supported](http://www.caniuse.com/#feat=urlsearchparams) in the vast majority of browsers,and [ Node](https://nodejs.org/api/url.html#url_class_urlsearchparams) starting with v10 (released in 2018). | |
| ```js | |
| const params = new URLSearchParams({ foo: 'bar' }); | |
| params.append('extraparam', 'value'); | |
| axios.post('/foo', params); | |
| ``` | |
| ### Query string (Older browsers) | |
| For compatibility with very old browsers, there is a [polyfill](https://github.com/WebReflection/url-search-params) available (make sure to polyfill the global environment). | |
| Alternatively, you can encode data using the [`qs`](https://github.com/ljharb/qs) library: | |
| ```js | |
| const qs = require('qs'); | |
| axios.post('/foo', qs.stringify({ 'bar': 123 })); | |
| ``` | |
| Or in another way (ES6), | |
| ```js | |
| import qs from 'qs'; | |
| const data = { 'bar': 123 }; | |
| const options = { | |
| method: 'POST', | |
| headers: { 'content-type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' }, | |
| data: qs.stringify(data), | |
| url, | |
| }; | |
| axios(options); | |
| ``` | |
| ### Older Node.js versions | |
| For older Node.js engines, you can use the [`querystring`](https://nodejs.org/api/querystring.html) module as follows: | |
| ```js | |
| const querystring = require('querystring'); | |
| axios.post('https://something.com/', querystring.stringify({ foo: 'bar' })); | |
| ``` | |
| You can also use the [`qs`](https://github.com/ljharb/qs) library. | |
| > **Note**: The `qs` library is preferable if you need to stringify nested objects, as the `querystring` method has [known issues](https://github.com/nodejs/node-v0.x-archive/issues/1665) with that use case. | |
| ### 🆕 Automatic serialization to URLSearchParams | |
| Axios will automatically serialize the data object to urlencoded format if the content-type header is set to "application/x-www-form-urlencoded". | |
| ```js | |
| const data = { | |
| x: 1, | |
| arr: [1, 2, 3], | |
| arr2: [1, [2], 3], | |
| users: [{name: 'Peter', surname: 'Griffin'}, {name: 'Thomas', surname: 'Anderson'}], | |
| }; | |
| await axios.postForm('https://postman-echo.com/post', data, | |
| {headers: {'content-type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'}} | |
| ); | |
| ``` | |
| The server will handle it as: | |
| ```js | |
| { | |
| x: '1', | |
| 'arr[]': [ '1', '2', '3' ], | |
| 'arr2[0]': '1', | |
| 'arr2[1][0]': '2', | |
| 'arr2[2]': '3', | |
| 'arr3[]': [ '1', '2', '3' ], | |
| 'users[0][name]': 'Peter', | |
| 'users[0][surname]': 'griffin', | |
| 'users[1][name]': 'Thomas', | |
| 'users[1][surname]': 'Anderson' | |
| } | |
| ```` | |
| If your backend body-parser (like `body-parser` of `express.js`) supports nested objects decoding, you will get the same object on the server-side automatically | |
| ```js | |
| var app = express(); | |
| app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true })); // support encoded bodies | |
| app.post('/', function (req, res, next) { | |
| // echo body as JSON | |
| res.send(JSON.stringify(req.body)); | |
| }); | |
| server = app.listen(3000); | |
| ``` | |
| ## Using `multipart/form-data` format | |
| ### FormData | |
| To send the data as a `multipart/formdata` you need to pass a formData instance as a payload. | |
| Setting the `Content-Type` header is not required as Axios guesses it based on the payload type. | |
| ```js | |
| const formData = new FormData(); | |
| formData.append('foo', 'bar'); | |
| axios.post('https://httpbin.org/post', formData); | |
| ``` | |
| In node.js, you can use the [`form-data`](https://github.com/form-data/form-data) library as follows: | |
| ```js | |
| const FormData = require('form-data'); | |
| const form = new FormData(); | |
| form.append('my_field', 'my value'); | |
| form.append('my_buffer', new Buffer(10)); | |
| form.append('my_file', fs.createReadStream('/foo/bar.jpg')); | |
| axios.post('https://example.com', form) | |
| ``` | |
| ### 🆕 Automatic serialization to FormData | |
| Starting from `v0.27.0`, Axios supports automatic object serialization to a FormData object if the request `Content-Type` | |
| header is set to `multipart/form-data`. | |
| The following request will submit the data in a FormData format (Browser & Node.js): | |
| ```js | |
| import axios from 'axios'; | |
| axios.post('https://httpbin.org/post', {x: 1}, { | |
| headers: { | |
| 'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data' | |
| } | |
| }).then(({data}) => console.log(data)); | |
| ``` | |
| In the `node.js` build, the ([`form-data`](https://github.com/form-data/form-data)) polyfill is used by default. | |
| You can overload the FormData class by setting the `env.FormData` config variable, | |
| but you probably won't need it in most cases: | |
| ```js | |
| const axios = require('axios'); | |
| var FormData = require('form-data'); | |
| axios.post('https://httpbin.org/post', {x: 1, buf: new Buffer(10)}, { | |
| headers: { | |
| 'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data' | |
| } | |
| }).then(({data}) => console.log(data)); | |
| ``` | |
| Axios FormData serializer supports some special endings to perform the following operations: | |
| - `{}` - serialize the value with JSON.stringify | |
| - `[]` - unwrap the array-like object as separate fields with the same key | |
| > **Note**: unwrap/expand operation will be used by default on arrays and FileList objects | |
| FormData serializer supports additional options via `config.formSerializer: object` property to handle rare cases: | |
| - `visitor: Function` - user-defined visitor function that will be called recursively to serialize the data object | |
| to a `FormData` object by following custom rules. | |
| - `dots: boolean = false` - use dot notation instead of brackets to serialize arrays and objects; | |
| - `metaTokens: boolean = true` - add the special ending (e.g `user{}: '{"name": "John"}'`) in the FormData key. | |
| The back-end body-parser could potentially use this meta-information to automatically parse the value as JSON. | |
| - `indexes: null|false|true = false` - controls how indexes will be added to unwrapped keys of `flat` array-like objects | |
| - `null` - don't add brackets (`arr: 1`, `arr: 2`, `arr: 3`) | |
| - `false`(default) - add empty brackets (`arr[]: 1`, `arr[]: 2`, `arr[]: 3`) | |
| - `true` - add brackets with indexes (`arr[0]: 1`, `arr[1]: 2`, `arr[2]: 3`) | |
| Let's say we have an object like this one: | |
| ```js | |
| const obj = { | |
| x: 1, | |
| arr: [1, 2, 3], | |
| arr2: [1, [2], 3], | |
| users: [{name: 'Peter', surname: 'Griffin'}, {name: 'Thomas', surname: 'Anderson'}], | |
| 'obj2{}': [{x:1}] | |
| }; | |
| ``` | |
| The following steps will be executed by the Axios serializer internally: | |
| ```js | |
| const formData = new FormData(); | |
| formData.append('x', '1'); | |
| formData.append('arr[]', '1'); | |
| formData.append('arr[]', '2'); | |
| formData.append('arr[]', '3'); | |
| formData.append('arr2[0]', '1'); | |
| formData.append('arr2[1][0]', '2'); | |
| formData.append('arr2[2]', '3'); | |
| formData.append('users[0][name]', 'Peter'); | |
| formData.append('users[0][surname]', 'Griffin'); | |
| formData.append('users[1][name]', 'Thomas'); | |
| formData.append('users[1][surname]', 'Anderson'); | |
| formData.append('obj2{}', '[{"x":1}]'); | |
| ``` | |
| Axios supports the following shortcut methods: `postForm`, `putForm`, `patchForm` | |
| which are just the corresponding http methods with the `Content-Type` header preset to `multipart/form-data`. | |
| ## Files Posting | |
| You can easily submit a single file: | |
| ```js | |
| await axios.postForm('https://httpbin.org/post', { | |
| 'myVar' : 'foo', | |
| 'file': document.querySelector('#fileInput').files[0] | |
| }); | |
| ``` | |
| or multiple files as `multipart/form-data`: | |
| ```js | |
| await axios.postForm('https://httpbin.org/post', { | |
| 'files[]': document.querySelector('#fileInput').files | |
| }); | |
| ``` | |
| `FileList` object can be passed directly: | |
| ```js | |
| await axios.postForm('https://httpbin.org/post', document.querySelector('#fileInput').files) | |
| ``` | |
| All files will be sent with the same field names: `files[]`. | |
| ## 🆕 HTML Form Posting (browser) | |
| Pass HTML Form element as a payload to submit it as `multipart/form-data` content. | |
| ```js | |
| await axios.postForm('https://httpbin.org/post', document.querySelector('#htmlForm')); | |
| ``` | |
| `FormData` and `HTMLForm` objects can also be posted as `JSON` by explicitly setting the `Content-Type` header to `application/json`: | |
| ```js | |
| await axios.post('https://httpbin.org/post', document.querySelector('#htmlForm'), { | |
| headers: { | |
| 'Content-Type': 'application/json' | |
| } | |
| }) | |
| ``` | |
| For example, the Form | |
| ```html | |
| <form id="form"> | |
| <input type="text" name="foo" value="1"> | |
| <input type="text" name="deep.prop" value="2"> | |
| <input type="text" name="deep prop spaced" value="3"> | |
| <input type="text" name="baz" value="4"> | |
| <input type="text" name="baz" value="5"> | |
| <select name="user.age"> | |
| <option value="value1">Value 1</option> | |
| <option value="value2" selected>Value 2</option> | |
| <option value="value3">Value 3</option> | |
| </select> | |
| <input type="submit" value="Save"> | |
| </form> | |
| ``` | |
| will be submitted as the following JSON object: | |
| ```js | |
| { | |
| "foo": "1", | |
| "deep": { | |
| "prop": { | |
| "spaced": "3" | |
| } | |
| }, | |
| "baz": [ | |
| "4", | |
| "5" | |
| ], | |
| "user": { | |
| "age": "value2" | |
| } | |
| } | |
| ```` | |
| Sending `Blobs`/`Files` as JSON (`base64`) is not currently supported. | |
| ## 🆕 Progress capturing | |
| Axios supports both browser and node environments to capture request upload/download progress. | |
| ```js | |
| await axios.post(url, data, { | |
| onUploadProgress: function (axiosProgressEvent) { | |
| /*{ | |
| loaded: number; | |
| total?: number; | |
| progress?: number; // in range [0..1] | |
| bytes: number; // how many bytes have been transferred since the last trigger (delta) | |
| estimated?: number; // estimated time in seconds | |
| rate?: number; // upload speed in bytes | |
| upload: true; // upload sign | |
| }*/ | |
| }, | |
| onDownloadProgress: function (axiosProgressEvent) { | |
| /*{ | |
| loaded: number; | |
| total?: number; | |
| progress?: number; | |
| bytes: number; | |
| estimated?: number; | |
| rate?: number; // download speed in bytes | |
| download: true; // download sign | |
| }*/ | |
| } | |
| }); | |
| ``` | |
| You can also track stream upload/download progress in node.js: | |
| ```js | |
| const {data} = await axios.post(SERVER_URL, readableStream, { | |
| onUploadProgress: ({progress}) => { | |
| console.log((progress * 100).toFixed(2)); | |
| }, | |
| headers: { | |
| 'Content-Length': contentLength | |
| }, | |
| maxRedirects: 0 // avoid buffering the entire stream | |
| }); | |
| ```` | |
| > **Note:** | |
| > Capturing FormData upload progress is not currently supported in node.js environments. | |
| > **⚠️ Warning** | |
| > It is recommended to disable redirects by setting maxRedirects: 0 to upload the stream in the **node.js** environment, | |
| > as follow-redirects package will buffer the entire stream in RAM without following the "backpressure" algorithm. | |
| ## 🆕 Rate limiting | |
| Download and upload rate limits can only be set for the http adapter (node.js): | |
| ```js | |

| ## 🆕 AxiosHeaders | |
| Axios has its own `AxiosHeaders` class to manipulate headers using a Map-like API that guarantees caseless work. | |
| Although HTTP is case-insensitive in headers, Axios will retain the case of the original header for stylistic reasons | |
| and for a workaround when servers mistakenly consider the header's case. | |
| The old approach of directly manipulating headers object is still available, but deprecated and not recommended for future usage. | |
| ### Working with headers | |
| An AxiosHeaders object instance can contain different types of internal values. that control setting and merging logic. | |
| The final headers object with string values is obtained by Axios by calling the `toJSON` method. | |
| > Note: By JSON here we mean an object consisting only of string values intended to be sent over the network. | |
| The header value can be one of the following types: | |
| - `string` - normal string value that will be sent to the server | |
| - `null` - skip header when rendering to JSON | |
| - `false` - skip header when rendering to JSON, additionally indicates that `set` method must be called with `rewrite` option set to `true` | |
| to overwrite this value (Axios uses this internally to allow users to opt out of installing certain headers like `User-Agent` or `Content-Type`) | |
| - `undefined` - value is not set | |
| > Note: The header value is considered set if it is not equal to undefined. | |
| The headers object is always initialized inside interceptors and transformers: | |
| ```ts | |
| axios.interceptors.request.use((request: InternalAxiosRequestConfig) => { | |
| request.headers.set('My-header', 'value'); | |
| request.headers.set({ | |
| "My-set-header1": "my-set-value1", | |
| "My-set-header2": "my-set-value2" | |
| }); | |
| request.headers.set('User-Agent', false); // disable subsequent setting the header by Axios | |
| request.headers.setContentType('text/plain'); | |
| request.headers['My-set-header2'] = 'newValue' // direct access is deprecated | |
| return request; | |
| } | |
| ); | |
| ```` | |
| You can iterate over an `AxiosHeaders` instance using a `for...of` statement: | |
| ````js | |
| const headers = new AxiosHeaders({ | |
| foo: '1', | |
| bar: '2', | |
| baz: '3' | |
| }); | |
| for(const [header, value] of headers) { | |
| console.log(header, value); | |
| } | |
| // foo 1 | |
| // bar 2 | |
| // baz 3 | |
| ```` | |
| ### new AxiosHeaders(headers?) | |
| Constructs a new `AxiosHeaders` instance. | |
| ``` | |
| constructor(headers?: RawAxiosHeaders | AxiosHeaders | string); | |
| ``` | |
| If the headers object is a string, it will be parsed as RAW HTTP headers. | |
| ````js | |
| const headers = new AxiosHeaders(` | |
| Host: www.bing.com | |
| User-Agent: curl/7.54.0 | |
| Accept: */*`); | |
| console.log(headers); | |
| // Object [AxiosHeaders] { | |
| // host: 'www.bing.com', | |
| // 'user-agent': 'curl/7.54.0', | |
| // accept: '*/*' | |
| // } | |
| ```` | |
| ### AxiosHeaders#set | |
| ```ts | |
| set(headerName, value: Axios, rewrite?: boolean); | |
| set(headerName, value, rewrite?: (this: AxiosHeaders, value: string, name: string, headers: RawAxiosHeaders) => boolean); | |
| set(headers?: RawAxiosHeaders | AxiosHeaders | string, rewrite?: boolean); | |
| ``` | |
| The `rewrite` argument controls the overwriting behavior: | |
| - `false` - do not overwrite if header's value is set (is not `undefined`) | |
| - `undefined` (default) - overwrite the header unless its value is set to `false` | |
| - `true` - rewrite anyway | |
| The option can also accept a user-defined function that determines whether the value should be overwritten or not. | |
| Returns `this`. | |
| ### AxiosHeaders#get(header) | |
| ``` | |
| get(headerName: string, matcher?: true | AxiosHeaderMatcher): AxiosHeaderValue; | |
| get(headerName: string, parser: RegExp): RegExpExecArray | null; | |
| ```` | |
| Returns the internal value of the header. It can take an extra argument to parse the header's value with `RegExp.exec`, | |
| matcher function or internal key-value parser. | |
| ```ts | |
| const headers = new AxiosHeaders({ | |
| 'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data; boundary=Asrf456BGe4h' | |
| }); | |
| console.log(headers.get('Content-Type')); | |
| // multipart/form-data; boundary=Asrf456BGe4h | |
| console.log(headers.get('Content-Type', true)); // parse key-value pairs from a string separated with \s,;= delimiters: | |
| // [Object: null prototype] { | |
| // 'multipart/form-data': undefined, | |
| // boundary: 'Asrf456BGe4h' | |
| // } | |
| console.log(headers.get('Content-Type', (value, name, headers) => { | |
| return String(value).replace(/a/g, 'ZZZ'); | |
| })); | |
| // multipZZZrt/form-dZZZtZZZ; boundZZZry=Asrf456BGe4h | |
| console.log(headers.get('Content-Type', /boundary=(\w+)/)?.[0]); | |
| // boundary=Asrf456BGe4h | |
| ``` | |
| Returns the value of the header. | |
| ### AxiosHeaders#has(header, matcher?) | |
| ``` | |
| has(header: string, matcher?: AxiosHeaderMatcher): boolean; | |
| ``` | |
| Returns `true` if the header is set (has no `undefined` value). | |
| ### AxiosHeaders#delete(header, matcher?) | |
| ``` | |
| delete(header: string | string[], matcher?: AxiosHeaderMatcher): boolean; | |
| ``` | |
| Returns `true` if at least one header has been removed. | |
| ### AxiosHeaders#clear(matcher?) | |
| ``` | |
| clear(matcher?: AxiosHeaderMatcher): boolean; | |
| ``` | |
| Removes all headers. | |
| Unlike the `delete` method matcher, this optional matcher will be used to match against the header name rather than the value. | |
| ```ts | |
| const headers = new AxiosHeaders({ | |
| 'foo': '1', | |
| 'x-foo': '2', | |
| 'x-bar': '3', | |
| }); | |
| console.log(headers.clear(/^x-/)); // true | |
| console.log(headers.toJSON()); // [Object: null prototype] { foo: '1' } | |
| ``` | |
| Returns `true` if at least one header has been cleared. | |
| ### AxiosHeaders#normalize(format); | |
| If the headers object was changed directly, it can have duplicates with the same name but in different cases. | |
| This method normalizes the headers object by combining duplicate keys into one. | |
| Axios uses this method internally after calling each interceptor. | |
| Set `format` to true for converting headers name to lowercase and capitalize the initial letters (`cOntEnt-type` => `Content-Type`) | |
| ```js | |
| const headers = new AxiosHeaders({ | |
| 'foo': '1', | |
| }); | |
| headers.Foo = '2'; | |
| headers.FOO = '3'; | |
| console.log(headers.toJSON()); // [Object: null prototype] { foo: '1', Foo: '2', FOO: '3' } | |
| console.log(headers.normalize().toJSON()); // [Object: null prototype] { foo: '3' } | |
| console.log(headers.normalize(true).toJSON()); // [Object: null prototype] { Foo: '3' } | |
| ``` | |
| Returns `this`. | |
| ### AxiosHeaders#concat(...targets) | |
| ``` | |
| concat(...targets: Array<AxiosHeaders | RawAxiosHeaders | string | undefined | null>): AxiosHeaders; | |
| ``` | |
| Merges the instance with targets into a new `AxiosHeaders` instance. If the target is a string, it will be parsed as RAW HTTP headers. | |
| Returns a new `AxiosHeaders` instance. | |
| ### AxiosHeaders#toJSON(asStrings?) | |
| ```` | |
| toJSON(asStrings?: boolean): RawAxiosHeaders; | |
| ```` | |
| Resolve all internal headers values into a new null prototype object. | |
| Set `asStrings` to true to resolve arrays as a string containing all elements, separated by commas. | |
| ### AxiosHeaders.from(thing?) | |
| ```` | |
| from(thing?: AxiosHeaders | RawAxiosHeaders | string): AxiosHeaders; | |
| ```` | |
| Returns a new `AxiosHeaders` instance created from the raw headers passed in, | |
| or simply returns the given headers object if it's an `AxiosHeaders` instance. | |
| ### AxiosHeaders.concat(...targets) | |
| ```` | |
| concat(...targets: Array<AxiosHeaders | RawAxiosHeaders | string | undefined | null>): AxiosHeaders; | |
| ```` | |
| Returns a new `AxiosHeaders` instance created by merging the target objects. | |
| ### Shortcuts | |
| The following shortcuts are available: | |
| - `setContentType`, `getContentType`, `hasContentType` | |
| - `setContentLength`, `getContentLength`, `hasContentLength` | |
| - `setAccept`, `getAccept`, `hasAccept` | |
| - `setUserAgent`, `getUserAgent`, `hasUserAgent` | |
| - `setContentEncoding`, `getContentEncoding`, `hasContentEncoding` | |
| ## Semver | |
| Until axios reaches a `1.0` release, breaking changes will be released with a new minor version. For example `0.5.1`, and `0.5.4` will have the same API, but `0.6.0` will have breaking changes. | |
| ## Promises | |
| axios depends on a native ES6 Promise implementation to be [supported](https://caniuse.com/promises). | |
| If your environment doesn't support ES6 Promises, you can [polyfill](https://github.com/jakearchibald/es6-promise). | |
| ## TypeScript | |
| axios includes [TypeScript](https://typescriptlang.org) definitions and a type guard for axios errors. | |
| ```typescript | |
| let user: User = null; | |
| try { | |
| const { data } = await axios.get('/user?ID=12345'); | |
| user = data.userDetails; | |
| } catch (error) { | |
| if (axios.isAxiosError(error)) { | |
| handleAxiosError(error); | |
| } else { | |
| handleUnexpectedError(error); | |
| } | |
| } | |
| ``` | |
| Because axios dual publishes with an ESM default export and a CJS `module.exports`, there are some caveats. | |
| The recommended setting is to use `"moduleResolution": "node16"` (this is implied by `"module": "node16"`). Note that this requires TypeScript 4.7 or greater. | |
| If use ESM, your settings should be fine. | |
| If you compile TypeScript to CJS and you can’t use `"moduleResolution": "node 16"`, you have to enable `esModuleInterop`. | |
| If you use TypeScript to type check CJS JavaScript code, your only option is to use `"moduleResolution": "node16"`. | |
