useQuery

1 - Introduction

This hook can be used to perform queries to an endpoint. Allows easy management of operations and query status.

It requires an Axios client. This library already provides the generateApiClient function which returns a client with a variable base url and an interceptor to send an authentication header. You may also create an axios client by your own.

2 - Installation

Install the library with npm install @hybris-software/use-query.

At the upper level of the application you should also insert the ApiProvider component which requires an apiClient prop. It should be an Axios client which you can create by your own or use generateApiClient to generate one.

Here is an example:

import { generateApiClient, ApiProvider } from "@hybris-software/use-query";
...
const apiClient = generateApiClient({
  baseUrl: "https://my.api.com/api/v1",
  authorizationHeader: "Authorization",
  authorizationPrefix: "Bearer "
})
...
root.render(
  <React.StrictMode>
    <ApiProvider apiClient={apiClient}>
      <App />
    </ApiProvider>
  </React.StrictMode >
);

3 - generateApiClient

This function returns an Axios client with the possibility to set a baseUrl, and an authorization header. It gets the authorization token from localStorage or sessionStorage with the key token.

3.1 - Parameters

Parameter Type Default Description
baseUrl string Axios base url
timeout number 5000 Default timeout (milliseconds)
authorizationHeader string "Authorization" Authorization header name
authorizationPrefix string "Bearer " The authorization header prefix, for example Authorization: Bearer your_token_from_localstorage
localStorageKey string "token" Local storage key that contains the authentication token

3.2 - Our api client

This is what generateApiClient generates, you can use it as a base to create your own api client.

const apiClient = axios.create({
  baseURL: baseUrl,
  timeout: 5000,
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    Accept: "application/json",
  },
});

apiClient.interceptors.request.use(
  function (config) {
    config.headers = config.headers || {};
    const token =
      localStorage.getItem("token") || sessionStorage.getItem("token");
    if (token) {
      config.headers[authorizationHeader] = `${authorizationPrefix}${token}`;
    }
    config.headers["Content-Type"] = "application/json";
    config.headers["Accept"] = "application/json";
    return config;
  },
  function (error) {
    return Promise.reject(error);
  }
);

apiClient.interceptors.response.use(
  function (response) {
    return response;
  },
  function (error) {
    return Promise.reject(error);
  }
);

4 - generateJwtApiClient

This function returns an Axios client with the possibility to set a baseUrl, and an authorization header. It gets the authorization token from localStorage or sessionStorage with the key token.

4.1 - Parameters

Parameter Type Default Description
baseUrl string Axios base url
timeout number 5000 Default timeout (milliseconds)
authorizationHeader string "Authorization" Authorization header name
authorizationPrefix string "Bearer " The authorization header prefix, for example Authorization: Bearer your_token_from_localstorage
accessTokenLocalStorageKey string "accessToken" Local storage key that contains the access token
refreshTokenLocalStorageKey string "refreshToken" Local storage key that contains the refresh token
refreshTokenFunction function An asyncronous function that receives the old access token and refresh token and returns [newAccessToken, newRefreshToken]

5 - useQuery

This hook performs only one query, if you have to perform multiple queries in parallel you can call multiple times useQuery or use useMultipleQueries as described below.

5.1 - Parameters

Parameter Type Default Description
url string Endpoint url
method string 'GET' Request method (GET, POST...)
executeImmediately boolean false Sets whether the call should be executed when the component is created or wait for the call to executeQuery()
onSuccess (response) => void () => { } Function executed after a successful query
onUnauthorized (error) => void undefined Function executed after an unsuccessful query if the response code is 401 (optional, see onError). The default function is the one defined in the ApiProvider if it is not specified in useQuery. To disable the default one and not use an onUnauthorized set onUnauthorized=null
onError (error) => void () => { } Function executed after an unsuccessful query. If onUnauthorized is not defined, it also handles 401 status code
clientOptions object {} Extra Axios options, ex. {timeout: 1000}

5.2 - Returned parameters

Parameter Type Description
isLoading boolean true while the query is being executed, false otherwise, even if it has not yet started
isError boolean true while the query finished unsuccessfully, false otherwise
isSuccess boolean true while the query finished successfully, false otherwise
response any The query response if it finished successfully, undefined otherwise
error any The generated error if the query finished unsuccessfully, undefined otherwise. If it got a response, it can be accessed via error.response
executeQuery (data?: {}) => void Trigger the query with optional body as parameter

6 - useMultipleQueries

This hooks allows to perform multiple queries in parallel with a syntax similar to that of useQuery.

6.1 - Parameters

Parameter Type Default Description
queries object Object where the key is the name of the query. The content variables are described below.
-- url string Endpoint url
-- method string 'GET' Request method (GET, POST...)
-- data object { } Request body
-- onSuccess (response) => void Function executed after a successful query
-- onUnauthorized (error) => void Function executed after an unsuccessful query if the response code is 401 (optional, see onError). The default function is the one defined in the ApiProvider if it is not specified in useMultipleQueries. To disable the default one and not use an onUnauthorized set onUnauthorized=null
-- onError (error) => void Function executed after an unsuccessful query. If onUnauthorized is not defined, it also handles 401 status code
executeImmediately boolean false Sets whether the call should be executed when the component is created or wait for the call to executeQueries()
onEnd (response) => void () => { } Function executed after after all the queries finished
clientOptions object {} Extra Axios options, ex. {timeout: 1000}

6.2 - Returned parameters

Parameter Type Description
executeQueries (data?: {}) => void Start the queries with optional body as parameter. data should be an object where the key is the name of the query and the value is the actual query data
errors object Object containing all the received errors. The key is the name of the query, the value is the error
responses object Object containing all the received successful responses. The key is the name of the query, the value is the response
statuses object Object containing the status of each query. The key is the name of the query, the value is the status
isLoading boolean true if any calls are in progress, false otherwise, even if it has not yet started
queries object Contains all the information of each query. The key is the name of the query, the value is an object with the following queries: status, error, response

7 - Examples

7.1 - Example 1

const { isLoading, executeQuery } = useQuery({
  url: "accounts/login/", // If baseUrl has been set, you can use a relative url. It also accepts absolute urls.
  method: "POST",
  executeImmediately: false,
  onSuccess: (response) => {
    console.log(response);
  },
  onUnauthorized: (response) => {
    console.log(response);
  },
});

const submitForm(value) => {
  executeQuery(value);
}

if(isLoading)
  return <Loader />
else
  return <Form submitForm={submitForm} />

7.2 - Example 2

const { isLoading, isSuccess, data, error } = useQuery({
  url: "api/v1/userinfo/",
  method: "GET",
  executeImmediately: true,
});

if (isLoading) return <Loader />;
else if (isSuccess) return <UserInfo data={data} />;
else return <Error error={error} />;

6.3 - Example with useMultipleQueries

const { queries } = useMultipleQueries({
  queries: {
    query1: {
      url: "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1",
      onSuccess: (response) => {
        console.log("query1", response);
      },
    },
    query2: {
      url: "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/2",

    query3: {
      url: "https://wrongdomain/todos/3",
      onError: (error) => {
        console.log("query3", error);
      },
    },
  },
  executeImmediately: true,
  onEnd: () => {
    console.log("All done");
  },
});

7.3 - Example with JWT

import axios from "axios";
import { generateJwtApiClient, ApiProvider } from "@hybris-software/use-query";
...
const apiClient = generateJwtApiClient({
  baseUrl: "https://my.api.com/api/v1",
  authorizationHeader: "Authorization",
  authorizationPrefix: "Bearer ",
  refreshTokenFunction: async ({accessToken, refreshToken}) => {
    const response = await axios.post("https://example.com/refresh", {accessToken, refreshToken})
    const updatedAccessToken = response.data.accessToken;
    const updatedRefreshToken = response.data.refreshToken;
    return [updatedAccessToken, updatedRefreshToken];
  }
})
...
root.render(
  <React.StrictMode>
    <ApiProvider apiClient={apiClient} onUnauthorized={(response) => {console.log(response)}}>
