Axios client with useSwr Fails to make request

Im using a shared Axios "client" object that is passed around my application via react context, this client object has the API key auth header and base paths already configured so im not constantly defining it.
My problem is trying to use the useSwr hook, specifically when defining the fetcher. I just cannot get it to work, and im sure im missing something simple here.
Basically, I pull the api client off the context, and use a fetcher function iv defined already, but I get nothing.
Here's some snips,
The Client
const AXIOS_CLIENT_CONFIG = {
baseURL: API_BASE,
timeout: 2000,
};
export default class APIClient {
client: AxiosInstance;
accessToken: string;
headers: any;
constructor(accessToken?: string) {
this.accessToken = accessToken;
this.headers = { Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}` };
if (accessToken) {
this.client = axios.create({
...AXIOS_CLIENT_CONFIG,
headers: this.headers,
});
} else {
this.client = axios.create(AXIOS_CLIENT_CONFIG);
}
}
fetcher(url: string): Promise<any> {
return this.client.get(url).then((res) => res.data);
}
The Component
export default function Upload(): ReactElement {
const { api }: IAppContext = useContext(AppContext);
const { data, error } = useSwr(`/upload/${uploadId}`, api.fetcher, {
refreshInterval: 5000,
});
Using above, I see nothing, no requests, no errors. (yes, the client comes through fine, I use this throughbout my whole app, its just this fetcher part that is broken)
Just for testing if I define the following fetcher, I can see a request is made (and failed due to auth)
const fetcher = (url) => axios.get(url).then((res) => res.data);
Even logging out the function signatures, they look almost the same to me
console.log("API FETCHER", api.fetcher);
console.log("NORMAL FETCHER", fetcher);
Outputs
API FETCHER ƒ fetcher(url) {
return this.client.get(url).then(function (res) {
return res.data;
});
}
NORMAL FETCHER ƒ fetcher(url) {
return axios__WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_5___default().get(url).then(function (res) {
return res.data;
});
}
What am I doing wrong here?

After hours of screwing around, I eventually figured this out. Incase anyone else comes across the issue when trying to use an Axios client objection with class functions like I am here.
I had no bound the context of this within the class for that specific function.
Basically, I needed to add the following to my api clients constructor
// Bind "this" context
this.fetcher = this.fetcher.bind(this);

Unable to use an axios plugin in nuxt

I'm attempting to add an Axios plugin to Nuxt as described here, but it doesn't seem to work.
This is my plugins/axios.js file...
export default function({ $axios }) {
console.log('Im in the axios plugin')
$axios.defaults.baseURL = `https://localhost:5001/api`
$axios.defaults.headers = {
Accept: 'application/json',
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
$axios.onRequest((config) => {
console.log('Making request to ' + config.url)
})
}
This is my nuxt.config.js
plugins: ['~/plugins/axios'],
modules: ['#nuxtjs/axios']
And this is where I use Axios in a file called services/BookService.js:
import axios from 'axios'
export default {
getBooks() {
return axios.get('/Home')
},
getBooksFiltered(payload) {
return axios.post('/Home/Filters', payload)
}
}
I get the console.log('Im in the axios plugin') from within my plugin, but nothing else. $axios.onRequest doesn't appear to run, and the baseURL doesn't appear to be set correctly when getBooksFiltered is triggered. I get a 404 when it tried to hit the address http://localhost:3000/Home/Filters. As described in my plugin, the address should be https://localhost:5001/api/Home/Filters
I've also tried the following in my nuxt.config.js, but it doesn't work:
axios: {
baseURL: 'https://localhost:5001/api'
}
Any ideas?
Edit
I've modified my services/BookService.js based on the suggestion below to the following...
export default {
getBooks(axios) {
console.log('Im in getBooks')
return axios.get('/Home')
}
}
My action request that makes my api call is the following....
import BookService from '~/services/BookService.js'
export const fetchBooks = (context) => {
console.log('Im in fetchBooks action')
return BookService.getBooks(this.$axios)
.then((response) => {
context.commit('SET_BOOKS', response.data.booksList)
})
.catch((error) => {
console.log(error)
})
}
And my method in my component that calls the actions...
async fetch({ store, error }) {
try {
console.log('Im in index -> fetch')
await store.dispatch('fetchBooks')
} catch (e) {
error({
statusCode: 503,
message: 'Unable to fetch books at this time'
})
}
}
I'm aware that I may be mixing async/await with promises incorrectly but I don't believe it's the cause of this issue.
Console returns the following...
My network tab contains a single request to http://localhost:3000/ which seems incorrect. It should be https://localhost:5001/api/Home based on the plugin and the address specified in the action. It is also never entering $axios.onRequest

The axios-module sets up an Axios instance on the Nuxt app instance. When you import Axios from axios, and use it directly, you're not using the previously setup Axios instance.
To fix the issue, you could either reference the preconfigured Axios instance from window.$nuxt.$axios (only in the browser), or setup your service to take an Axios instance as a parameter:
// services/BookService.js
export default axios => ({
getBooks() {
return axios.get('/Home')
},
getBooksFiltered(payload) {
return axios.post('/Home/Filters', payload)
}
})
// store.js
import BookService from '~/services/BookService.js'
export default {
actions: {
async getBooks({ commit }) {
const books = await new BookService(this.$axios).getBooks()
commit('SET_BOOKS', books)
}
}
}
Another solution from nuxt-community/axios-module #28:
~/plugins/axios-port.js
import { setClient } from '~/services/apiClient'
export default ({ app, store }) => {
setClient(app.$axios)
}
~/services/apiClient.js
let client
export function setClient (newclient) {
client = newclient
}
// Request helpers
const reqMethods = [
'request', 'delete', 'get', 'head', 'options', // url, config
'post', 'put', 'patch' // url, data, config
]
let service = {}
reqMethods.forEach((method) => {
service[method] = function () {
if (!client) throw new Error('apiClient not installed')
return client[method].apply(null, arguments)
}
})
export default service
Use:
import apiClient from '~/services/apiClient'
export default {
async current () {
return apiClient.get('...')
}
}

In my case I exported a customized axios instance as the doc suggested in my axios.js
export default function ({ $axios }, inject) {
const api = $axios.create({
baseURL:'/api'
})
// Inject to context as $api
inject('api', api)
}
Then use this.$api.get or this.$api.post in your getBook service
The above one works for me

As I have just tested, in each request we should use $axios.
Example: this.$axios.get('....'), or in another context this.$nuxt.$axios.get('...');
Because axios extension use with the app context instance, if we import, it will create a new instance which plugin cannot extend.
I have put test code on stackblitz: here

It seems you need to yarn add #nuxtjs/axios or npm install #nuxtjs/axios like the setup instruction here before it can work: https://axios.nuxtjs.org/setup
I haven't experienced with nuxt yet but I don't think by adding some line of code into some js file without actually installing will make the package available into your repo.

nextjs route middleware for authentication

I'm trying to figure out an appropriate way of doing authentication, which I know is a touchy subject on the GitHub issue page.
My authentication is simple. I store a JWT token in the session. I send it to a different server for approval. If I get back true, we keep going, if I get back false, it clears the session and puts sends them to the main page.
In my server.js file I have the following (note- I am using the example from nextjs learn and just adding isAuthenticated):
function isAuthenticated(req, res, next) {
//checks go here
//if (req.user.authenticated)
// return next();
// IF A USER ISN'T LOGGED IN, THEN REDIRECT THEM SOMEWHERE
res.redirect('/');
}
server.get('/p/:id', isAuthenticated, (req, res) => {
const actualPage = '/post'
const queryParams = { id: req.params.id }
app.render(req, res, actualPage, queryParams)
})
This works as designed. If I refresh the page /p/123, it will redirect to the /. However, if I go there via a next/link href, it doesn't. Which I believe is because it's not using express at this point but next's custom routing.
Is there a way I can bake in a check for every single next/link that doesn't go through express so that I can make sure the user is logged in?

Tim from the next chat helped me solve this. Solution can be found here but I will quote him so you all can see:
You can do the check in _app.js getInitialProps and redirect like this
Example of how to use it
_app.js documentation
I've also created an example skeleton template you can take a look at.

Edit: Updated answer for Next 12.2+
Note: The below contents is copied from the official blog post since SO generally discourages links that can become stale/dead over time
https://nextjs.org/blog/next-12-2#middleware-stable
Middleware is now stable in 12.2 and has an improved API based on feedback from users.
// middleware.ts
import { NextRequest, NextResponse } from 'next/server';
// If the incoming request has the "beta" cookie
// then we'll rewrite the request to /beta
export function middleware(req: NextRequest) {
const isInBeta = JSON.parse(req.cookies.get('beta') || 'false');
req.nextUrl.pathname = isInBeta ? '/beta' : '/';
return NextResponse.rewrite(req.nextUrl);
}
// Supports both a single value or an array of matches
export const config = {
matcher: '/',
};

How to upgrade
You should declare one single Middleware file in your application, which should be located next to the pages directory and named without an _ prefix. Your Middleware file can still have either a .ts or .js extension.
Middleware will be invoked for every route in the app, and a custom matcher can be used to define matching filters. The following is an example for a Middleware that triggers for /about/* and /dashboard/:path*, the custom matcher is defined in an exported config object:
// middleware.ts
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'
import type { NextRequest } from 'next/server'
export function middleware(request: NextRequest) {
return NextResponse.rewrite(new URL('/about-2', request.url))
}
// Supports both a single string value or an array of matchers
export const config = {
matcher: ['/about/:path*', '/dashboard/:path*'],
}
Edit: Outdated answer for next > 12 and < 12.2
With the release of Next.js 12, there's now beta support for middleware using Vercel Edge Functions.
https://nextjs.org/blog/next-12#introducing-middleware
Middleware uses a strict runtime that supports standard Web APIs like fetch. > This works out of the box using next start, as well as on Edge platforms like Vercel, which use Edge Functions.
To use Middleware in Next.js, you can create a file pages/_middleware.js. In this example, we use the standard Web API Response (MDN):
// pages/_middleware.js
export function middleware(req, ev) {
return new Response('Hello, world!')
}
JWT Authentication example
https://github.com/vercel/examples/tree/main/edge-functions/jwt-authentication
in next.config.js:
const withTM = require('#vercel/edge-functions-ui/transpile')()
module.exports = withTM()
in pages/_middleware.js:
import { NextRequest, NextResponse } from 'next/server'
import { setUserCookie } from '#lib/auth'
export function middleware(req: NextRequest) {
// Add the user token to the response
return setUserCookie(req, NextResponse.next())
}
in pages/api/_middleware.js:
import type { NextRequest } from 'next/server'
import { nanoid } from 'nanoid'
import { verifyAuth } from '#lib/auth'
import { jsonResponse } from '#lib/utils'
export async function middleware(req: NextRequest) {
const url = req.nextUrl
if (url.searchParams.has('edge')) {
const resOrPayload = await verifyAuth(req)
return resOrPayload instanceof Response
? resOrPayload
: jsonResponse(200, { nanoid: nanoid(), jwtID: resOrPayload.jti })
}
}
in pages/api/index.js:
import type { NextApiRequest, NextApiResponse } from 'next'
import { verify, JwtPayload } from 'jsonwebtoken'
import { nanoid } from 'nanoid'
import { USER_TOKEN, JWT_SECRET_KEY } from '#lib/constants'
export default async function handler(
req: NextApiRequest,
res: NextApiResponse
) {
if (req.method !== 'GET') {
return res.status(405).json({
error: { message: 'Method not allowed' },
})
}
try {
const token = req.cookies[USER_TOKEN]
const payload = verify(token, JWT_SECRET_KEY) as JwtPayload
res.status(200).json({ nanoid: nanoid(), jwtID: payload.jti })
} catch (err) {
res.status(401).json({ error: { message: 'Your token has expired.' } })
}
}

There is no middleware for no API routes in NextJS, but there are HOCs, which you can use to connect to db - select the user, etc:

how to modularize rest api calls using axios in vuejs

I am creating a vuejs app where I am using axios to consume my rest api.
I am basically calling axios.get in various places, every time creating a new instance with the required authentication headers.
// UserdataComponent.vue
const anInstance = axios.create({
headers: {'X-API-TOKEN': store.state.token},
auth: {
username: SOME_USERNAME,
password: SOME_PASSWORD
}
})
anInstance.get(API_BASE_URL + '/userdata')
This is being done everywhere I make a rest api call.
So I wanted to move this to a separate file to keep the code DRY.
I moved the axios instance creation code to a separate file and tried exporting it as an object. This object can then be imported wherever I want to consume rest api.
I was expecting something like this to work....
// http.js
import axios from 'axios'
import store from 'store/store.js'
const HTTP = axios.create({
baseURL: API_BASE_URL,
headers: { 'X-API-TOKEN': store.state.token },
auth: {
username: SOME_USERNAME,
password: SOME_PASSWORD
}
})
export default HTTP
// UserdataComponent.vue
import HTTP from 'http.js'
...
HTTP.get('/userdata')
This gave me errors of all sorts with axios.create being returned as a string, instead of a callable function.
What should I be changing here to make it work as I want to? Should I even be using this way to modularize the http request mechanism?

Not sure if this answers you question but it's a nice way of setting it up.
If you create the axios instance in a separate file, you could export specific api calls instead, making them accessible for other components as well.
// api.js
const HTTP = axios.create({
baseURL: API_BASE_URL,
headers: { 'X-API-TOKEN': store.state.token },
auth: {
username: SOME_USERNAME,
password: SOME_PASSWORD
}
})
export default {
getSomeData () {
return HTTP.get('/endpoint')
},
postSomeData (id, name) {
return HTTP.post('/endpoint', {
id: id,
name: name
})
}
}
and then, in your component you import the api.jsand use like this:
//component.vue
import myApi from '../path/to/api'
export default {
name: 'myComponent',
methods: {
someMethod () {
myApi.getSomeData().then((response) => {
...code
})
}
}
}

I think you should use axios interceptors for this:
Axios.interceptors.request.use((config) => {
// Add stuff to the config..
// Add credentials to each request.
config.withCredentials = true
config.timeout = 10000
config.headers['Accept-Language'] = i18n.locale
config.headers['Content-Type'] = 'application/json'
return config
})
You can place this code in your main file.
Each time you do a request, this code is called and you can add your credentials to the request, so you don't have to pass the same code everywhere...
For more information check https://github.com/axios/axios#interceptors and on the web around this subject.

Angular 2 JSONP injected script did not invoke callback error

I am running app on localhost://3000 with npm server
Services file:
import {Injectable} from "#angular/core";
import {Jsonp} from "#angular/http";
import 'rxjs/add/operator/map';
#Injectable()
export class futScoreService{
constructor(private _jsonp:Jsonp){}
getCompetitions(){
let queryString ='?callback=JSONP_CALLBACK';
return this._jsonp.get('http://api.football-data.org/v1/competitions/' + queryString,{method: 'Get'})
.map((res) => res.json());
}
}
Component file:
ngOnInit(){
this._futScoreService.getCompetitions().subscribe(
(comp)=>{
console.log(comp);
},
(err)=>{
console.log(err);
}
);
}
And I'm getting this error in console console-error
and on network tab I get object from API network-tab

Ok solution was making get request with http module and providing header with get request. Header part was main reason why it was failing.
let headers = new Headers({'X-Mashape-Key':'Ns0SkjyRRomshq3PgEnGoz2Zkc71p1CYnWajsnphGctvrGt46W'});
headers.append( 'Accept', 'application/json');
return this._http.get("http://api.football-data.org/v1/competitions/",{
headers: headers
})
.map((res) => res.json());

Angular is replacing JSONP_CALLBACK with
__ng_jsonp____req0_finished
but it should be
__ng_jsonp__.__req0.finished
Inspect your Network response. If you see __ng_jsonp____req0_finished({...json object...}) this is the problem.
Also, some services have different requirements for the callback query string parameter, which proves to be nasty because the error is exactly the same. I was using &callback=__ng_jsonp__.__req0.finished with MailChimp which produced the same error but the response had only a json object and no callback function. This is because MailChimp's spec is to use &c= instead of &callback=
When hardcoding the Jsonp callback (re: JSONP_CALLBACK issue) you need to account for the number of calls made, as Angular persists the state of each call. An example of what I'm doing for Mailchimp:
addEmailToList(email: string, listId: string, jsonpCalls: number, callback: any) {
const cbJsonp = '__ng_jsonp__.__req' + jsonpCalls + '.finished';
let url = [
'http://',
host,
'/subscribe',
'/post-json',
].join('');
let queryParams: URLSearchParams = new URLSearchParams();
queryParams.set('u', Config.MAILCHIMP_API_KEY);
queryParams.set('id', listId);
queryParams.set('EMAIL', email);
queryParams.set('c', cbJsonp); // non-standard; varies by service; usually 'callback'
...
}

this._InstUrl = "your url";
let params1 = new URLSearchParams();
//params.set('search', term); // the user's search value
//params.set('action', 'opensearch');
params1.set('format', 'json');
//params1.set('callback', "ng_jsonp.__req0.finished");
params1.set('callback', "JSONP_CALLBACK");
return this._jsonp
.get(this._InstUrl, { search: params1 })
.map(response => { debugger; this.Result = response.json().data })
.subscribe(
(data) => {
debugger
console.log(this.Result);
},
(error) => {
debugger
console.log(error);
});
