Crud operations in React Js with Axios and Rest API

In this article, we will learn how to create a CRUD operation in React js using Axios and with a real-time rest API. We have already learned how to create CRUD operations Using the fetch function now in this post we will perform the  insert update, and delete example operation using Axios.

After the awesome response to a published article by me: Simple React.js CRUD Example With Rest API to help beginners, I decided to rewrite the article with step by step approach using Axios, since it is the latest topic in the IT industry today.

I have written this article focusing on newbie developers so they can understand the basics of the concept of Axios class component, and calling rest API using Axios.

First, we will Fetch data from API and display it in the table using Axios in a class component and then we will perform insert, update and delete operations.

Crud operations in React Js with Axios and Rest API

Before starting creating the application let’s have a look at the rest API part first. We are going to use TravelAgent table for performing CRUD Operations. Here is the rest API for performing the CRUD operation.

1.GET http://restapi.adequateshop.com/api/TravelAgent

[

{
"id": 121212,
"agent_name": "yeem soni",
"agent_email": "Mayank77@gmail.c",
"agent_location": "USA",
"createdat": "2022-05-18T11:19:00.2704177"
},
{
"id": 121211,
"agent_name": "nanoi soni",
"agent_email": "Mayank77@gmail.",
"agent_location": "USA",
"createdat": "2022-05-18T11:19:00.0125955"
}
{
"id": 121206,
"agent_name": "kil soni",
"agent_email": "Mayank77@g",
"agent_location": "USA",
"createdat": "2022-05-18T11:18:58.1125961"
},
{
"id": 121205,
"agent_name": "tony soni",
"agent_email": "Mayank77@",
"agent_location": "USA",
"createdat": "2022-05-18T11:18:57.683823"
},
{
"id": 121204,
"agent_name": "southy soni",
"agent_email": "Mayank77",
"agent_location": "USA",
"createdat": "2022-05-18T11:18:57.0549635"
},
{
"id": 121203,
"agent_name": "dublin soni",
"agent_email": "Mayank78",
"agent_location": "USA",
"createdat": "2022-05-18T11:18:53.6840485"
}
]

 

2.POST http://restapi.adequateshop.com/api/TravelAgent

Request Parameter

{
  "agent_name": "string",
  "agent_email": "string",
  "agent_location": "string"
}

3. PUT http://restapi.adequateshop.com/api/TravelAgent/12514

Request Parameter

{
  "id": 12514,
  "agent_name": "string",
  "agent_email": "string",
  "agent_location": "string"
}

4.DELETE  http://restapi.adequateshop.com/api/TravelAgent/12514

 

Step 1. Create React js App

Now, let’s create a React app using the below command.

npx create-react-app crud-app

Step 2. Create React Component

Create a “components” folder inside the src folder in our react js application and add 3 files inside that folder.

• CrudOpertaion.js
• CreateAgent.js
• GetAgent.js

Step 3. Install bootstrap in our project

Now, let’s install bootstrap to create a lovely UI for our application.

npm install react-bootstrap bootstrap

If you get any errors while installing bootstrap then try the below command

npm install react-bootstrap –legacy-peer-deps

import bootstrap in index.js

Step 4. Install Axios library in our project

Axios is the latest promise-based JavaScript HTTP client library that works asynchronously and allows our app to make HTTP calls and consume REST API very efficiently.

npm install axios –save axios

Step 5. Do coding in the file to perform our operation

CrudOpertaion.js

import React, { Component } from 'react';

import { Container, Button } from 'react-bootstrap';

      }
    )

  }

          </Col>  
        </Row>  
      </div>  
    )  
  }  
}  
  
export default CreateAgent;  

Step 6. Import component in App.js

import logo from './logo.svg';
import './App.css';
import Opertaion from "./components/CrudOpertaion"
function App() {
  return (
    <div className="container-fluid">
      <Opertaion/>
    </div>
  );
}

export default App;

so, our coding part is completed, and run npm start command perform to see the result.

I’m assuming that you are familiar with React Js framework and creating React Js applications. If not then please go through the following articles:

• What does props mean in react?
• Components in React Js?
• State in React Js

In React, a part is alluded to as a segregated piece of code which can be reused in either module. The React application contains a root part in which other subcomponents are incorporated; for instance – in a solitary page, the application is partitioned into 3 sections – Header, Main Content, and Footer. Along these lines, there is a solitary App Component having 3 subcomponents – Header Component, MainContent Component, and Footer Component.

There are 2 kinds of parts in React.js Stateless Functional Component and Stateful Class Component

Stateless Functional Component
This kind of part incorporates basic JavaScript capacities. These parts incorporate unchanging properties, i.e., the incentive for properties can’t be changed. We want to utilize Hooks (will be examined in the following article) to accomplish usefulness for making changes in properties utilizing JS. A utilitarian part is utilized mostly for UI.

Stateful Class Component

The Class part is ES6 classes which broaden the Component class from React library. The class part should incorporate the render technique which brings HTML back.
