How to set header and options in axios?

Question

I use Axios to perform an HTTP post like this:

import axios from 'axios'
params = {'HTTP_CONTENT_LANGUAGE': self.language}
headers = {'header1': value}
axios.post(url, params, headers)

Is this correct? Or should I do:

axios.post(url, params: params, headers: headers)

Answer 1

There are several ways to do this:

• For a single request:

  let config = {
    headers: {
      header1: value,
    }
  }
  
  let data = {
    'HTTP_CONTENT_LANGUAGE': self.language
  }
  
  axios.post(URL, data, config).then(...)
  

• For setting default global config:

  axios.defaults.headers.post['header1'] = 'value' // for POST requests
  axios.defaults.headers.common['header1'] = 'value' // for all requests
  

• For setting as default on axios instance:

  let instance = axios.create({
    headers: {
      post: {        // can be common or any other method
        header1: 'value1'
      }
    }
  })
  
  //- or after instance has been created
  instance.defaults.headers.post['header1'] = 'value'
  
  //- or before a request is made
  // using Interceptors
  instance.interceptors.request.use(config => {
    config.headers.post['header1'] = 'value';
    return config;
  });
