Use useFetch Hook
🎙️ "Hey everyone! 🚀 Today, let's break down this custom React hook called useFetch in under a minute!
✨ What does it do?
This hook helps you fetch data from an API and manage loading, error, and response states easily. It's perfect for reusing in multiple components!
📜 Here's how it works:
1️⃣ State Management:
We use useState to track three things:
- data for storing the API response,
- loading for the loading state, and
- error for any issues during the fetch.
2️⃣ Effect Hook:
We use useEffect to perform the fetch whenever the url changes. Inside, we define an async function called fetchData.
3️⃣ Fetching Logic:
- Start by setting loading to true.
- Use the fetch API to get data from the URL and parse it with .json().
- If successful, store the result in data.
- If there's an error, we catch it and set the error state.
- Finally, set loading to false.
4️⃣ Return Values:
This hook returns an object with { data, loading, error }, so you can use it directly in your components.
✅ Why use it?
It simplifies your API calls and keeps your components clean. Just call useFetch(url) and you’re good to go!
That's it! Simple, reusable, and efficient. Give it a try and level up your React projects today. 🔥
