react-fetching-library

Use hooks or FACC's (Function as Child Component) to fetch data in an easy way. No dependencies! Just React under the hood.

Request and response interceptors allows you to easily customize connection with API (add authorization, refresh token, cache, etc). It uses Fetch API so it can be used in SSR apps (i.e. with isomorphic-fetch).

Library allows you to use it with connection of React Suspense (read more about React Suspense) to easily maintain loading state in application.

Feel free to open PRs and issues to make this library better !

When making a PR, make sure all tests pass. If you add a new feature, please consider updating the documentation or codesandbox examples. Thank you!

Using Suspense to fetch data

For now React Suspense is not production ready to use it for fetch data as described here, so API of our component/hook may change in the future.
