The following URLs can be used to test different features of useFetch
Normal Request: https://httpbin.org/get
Abort Request: https://httpbin.org/delay/10
Response Error: http://httpbin.org/status/500
isFinished: false
isFetching: false
canAbort: false
statusCode: null
error: null

useFetch

Reactive Fetch API provides the ability to abort requests, intercept requests before they are fired, automatically refetch requests when the url changes, and create your own useFetchwith predefined options.

Usage

Basic Usage

The useFetchfunction can be used by simply providing a url. The url can be either a string or a ref. The data object will contain the result of the request, the error object will contain any errors, and the isFetching object will indicate if the request is loading.

import { useFetch } from '@vueuse/core'

const { isFetching, error, data } = useFetch(url)

Refetching on URL change

Using a ref for the url parameter will allow the useFetchfunction to automatically trigger another request when the url is changed.

const url = ref('https://my-api.com/user/1') 

const { data } = useFetch(url, { refetch: true })

url.value = 'https://my-api.com/user/2' // Will trigger another request

Prevent request from firing immediately

Setting the immediate option to false will prevent the request from firing until the execute function is called.

const { execute } = useFetch(url, { immediate: false })

execute()

Aborting a request

A request can be aborted by using the abort function from the useFetchfunction. The canAbort property indicates if the request can be aborted

const { abort, canAbort } = useFetch(url)

setTimeout(() => {
  if (canAbort.value)
    abort()
}, 100)

A request can also be aborted automatically by using timeout property. It will call abort function when the given timeout is reached.

const { data } = useFetch(url, { timeout: 100 })

Intercepting a request

The beforeFetch option can intercept a request before it is sent and modify the request options and url.

const { data } = useFetch(url, {
  async beforeFetch({ url, options, cancel }) {
    const myToken = await getMyToken()

    if (!myToken)
      cancel()

    options.headers = {
      ...options.headers,
      Authorization: `Bearer ${myToken}`,
    }

    return {
      options
    }
  }
})

The afterFetch option can intercept the response data before it is updated.

const { data } = useFetch(url, {
  afterFetch(ctx) {
    if (ctx.data.title === 'HxH')
      ctx.data.title = 'Hunter x Hunter' // Modifies the resposne data

    return ctx
  },
})

The onFetchError option can intercept the response data and error before it is updated.

const { data } = useFetch(url, {
  onFetchError(ctx) {
    // ctx.data can be null when 5xx response
    if (ctx.data === null) 
      ctx.data = { title: 'Hunter x Hunter' } // Modifies the resposne data

    ctx.error = new Error('Custom Error') // Modifies the error

    return ctx
  }
})

Setting the request method and return type

The request method and return type can be set by adding the appropriate methods to the end of useFetch

// Request will be sent with GET method and data will be parsed as JSON
const { data } = useFetch(url).get().json()

// Request will be sent with POST method and data will be parsed as text
const { data } = useFetch(url).post().text()

// Or set the method using the options

// Request will be sent with GET method and data will be parsed as blob
const { data } = useFetch(url, { method: 'GET' }, { refetch: true }).blob()

Creating a custom instance

The createFetch function will return a useFetch function with whatever pre-configured options that are provided to it. This is useful for interacting with API's throughout an application that uses the same base URL or needs Authorization headers.

const useMyFetch = createFetch({ 
  baseUrl: 'https://my-api.com', 
  options: {
    async beforeFetch({ options }) {
      const myToken = await getMyToken()
      options.headers.Authorization = `Bearer ${myToken}`

      return { options }
    },
  }, 
  fetchOptions: {
    mode: 'cors',
  },
})

const { isFetching, error, data } = useMyFetch('users')

Events

The onFetchResponse and onFetchError will fire on fetch request responses and errors respectively.

const { onFetchResponse, onFetchError } = useFetch(url)

onFetchResponse((response) => {
  console.log(response.status)
})

onFetchError((error) => {
  console.error(error.message)
})
