I'm trying to implement a locale parameter into my axiosConfig file:
import axios from "axios";
const instance = axios.create({
baseURL: "http://10.0.2.2:8000/api",
timeout: 2000,
});
instance.defaults.headers.common["locale"] = "en";
export default instance;
On each screen I make my get and post calls on screens as such:
axiosConfig
.get("/someroute")
.then((response) => {
//console.log(response.data);
})
.catch((error) => {
console.log(error.message);
});
The above code works as intended. Now I want to pass a "locale" parameter into all of my axios calls. This parameter will come from app locale (i use i18next). When I implement it as below, it throws an invalid hook error.
import axios from "axios";
import { useTranslation } from "react-i18next";
const { i18n } = useTranslation();
const instance = axios.create({
baseURL: "http://10.0.2.2:8000/api",
timeout: 2000,
});
instance.defaults.headers.common["locale"] = i18n.language;
export default instance;
What would be the correct way to set the locale header in my configuration?
You are getting this error because a hook should be called in a React Component or inside another hook. See Rules of Hooks. And here is what you could do for example:
import axios from "axios";
import { useTranslation } from "react-i18next";
const useAxiosInstance = ()=>{
const { i18n } = useTranslation();
const instance = axios.create({
baseURL: "http://10.0.2.2:8000/api",
timeout: 2000,
});
instance.defaults.headers.common["locale"] = i18n.language;
return instance;
}
export default useAxiosInstance;
import {useEffect} from "react";
import useAxiosConfig from "./path";
const AxiosConsumer = ()=>{
const axiosConfig = useAxiosConfig();
useEffect(()=>{
axiosConfig
.get("/someroute")
.then((response) => {
//console.log(response.data);
})
.catch((error) => {
console.log(error.message);
});
},[axiosConfig]);
return <></>
}
