API Integration with Fetch/Axios

Part of the Full Stack Developer Roadmap.

Summary

Actually wiring your React components up to real backend endpoints instead of mock data — the moment your app becomes genuinely full-stack.

How to Learn This

  • 1Replace a component's mock data with a real `fetch` or Axios call to your backend.
  • 2Set up an Axios instance with a base URL so you don't repeat it everywhere.
  • 3Handle the request lifecycle — loading, success, and error — for every API call.
