How to Send Form Data Using Axios Post Request in React

Sending form data from a React application to a server is a common task, and Axios is a popular library for making HTTP requests in React. In this blog post, we’ll walk you through the process of sending form data using an Axios POST request in a React application. We’ll provide you with a practical example to illustrate each step.

Prerequisites:

Before we start, ensure you have the following prerequisites in place:

A basic understanding of React.

Node.js and npm (Node Package Manager) installed on your system.

A code editor of your choice (e.g., Visual Studio Code).

Step 1: Set Up a React Project

If you don’t already have a React project, you can create one using Create React App. Open your terminal and run the following command:

npx create-react-app axios-form-example

Once the project is created, navigate to the project directory:

cd axios-form-example

Step 2: Install Axios To use Axios in your React project, you need to install it. Run the following command:

npm install axios

Step 3: Create a Form Component

In your React project, create a new component for the form. You can name it Form.js. Here’s a simple example of a form component:

// src/Form.js

import React, { useState } from 'react';

import axios from 'axios';

function Form() {

const [formData, setFormData] = useState({

name: '',

email: '',

});

const handleChange = (e) => {

const { name, value } = e.target;

setFormData({ ...formData, [name]: value });

};

const handleSubmit = async (e) => {

e.preventDefault();

try {

const response = await axios.post('YOUR_API_ENDPOINT', formData);

console.log('Form data submitted successfully:', response.data);

} catch (error) {

console.error('Error submitting form data:', error);

}

};

return (

<form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>

<label>

Name:

<input

type="text"

name="name"

value={formData.name}

onChange={handleChange}

/>

</label>

<br />

<label>

Email:

<input

type="email"

name="email"

value={formData.email}

onChange={handleChange}

/>

</label>

<br />

<button type="submit">Submit</button>

</form>

);

}

export default Form;

In this component, we define a form with two input fields (name and email). We use the useState hook to manage the form data, and Axios to make the POST request when the form is submitted. Step 4: Import and Use the Form Component Import and use the Form component in your App.js file:

// src/App.js

import React from 'react';

import Form from './Form';

function App() {

return (

<div className="App">

<h1>React Form with Axios POST Request</h1>

<Form />

</div>

);

}

export default App;

Step 5: Replace ‘YOUR_API_ENDPOINT’

In the Form.js component, replace 'YOUR_API_ENDPOINT' with the actual endpoint where you want to send the form data.

Step 6: Run Your React App

Finally, run your React application using the following command:

npm start

Your React app should now be running, and you can access it in your browser. Fill out the form, click the “Submit” button, and you should see the form data being sent to the specified API endpoint in the browser’s console.

Conclusion:

In this blog post, we’ve demonstrated how to send form data using an Axios POST request in a React application. By following the steps outlined above, you can easily integrate form submissions with server-side endpoints and handle data efficiently in your React projects. Sending data from your React app to a server has never been more straightforward, thanks to Axios.

You know for all intents and purposes it was a mercy that Kim Dokja’s body was expelled after his death in the tenth main scenaio

Because how much more fucked would it had been if his corpse was left.

Like he’s died before, Dokja has left corpses before and came back alive. The time limits have changed in the past and his revival has been delayed before.

How long do you think the company would’ve held onto his corpse? How long would they hold off on that funeral?

Would they notice a difference when Dokja’s body went into rigor mortis?

Has his corpse went into rigor mortis before? Because if so they still may hold onto hope.

Would they wait for decomposition to start?

Would they set him up in the usual coffin and check in on it? You know, just in case?

How long would it take the others to get Dokja’s body out of Yoo Joonghyuk’s arms?

Well, I took 10yo to see Lilo & Stitch.

I have... mixed feelings.

I still think the original animated version is superior, I'm glad I went... but mostly in the same vein as being glad I lived in Saudi Arabia so I can talk about what it's like to experience living in that country. Because there's a whole lot of nuance involved in what makes the new version of the movie so disturbing, as well as some issues I haven't even seen raised that bother me, too.

(Spoilers under the cut. Slightly modified from a post on Dreamwidth.)

So the biggest difference between the animated and live-action versions of the movie is obviously the ending: in the animated version, Nani stays with Lilo, with the added bonus of a supportive extended family structure from David, Stitch, Pleakley, and Jumba. Not so in the live-action: Nani goes to college in California, Lilo is being cared for by their neighbor, though there is still the extended family structure from Stitch, Pleakley, and Cobra Bubbles.

The reports I'd seen about this ending--"NANI GIVES LILO UP TO THE STATE"--are very reactionary. Not to say they're wrong--they're not--but there's nuance there too. The neighbor is set up early on as being a sort of "auntie" to the girls, already watching over them and offering assistance (which Nani refuses to take). The reason the neighbor has Lilo is partially because she suggests it, and partially because CPS agrees to the plan to see her as a foster parent for Lilo.

Is Lilo still ward of the State, ultimately? Yes. (And this is something the movie 100% glosses over, because I doubt it's that easy or fast. And I don't mean to downplay that part of it: Nani 100% relinquishes parental rights, and while the movie insinuates that she can get Lilo back again... come on. We all know. We've all seen those Lifetime specials) Is Lilo in a family unit that is familiar, comfortable, and accepting (and also native Hawaiian, which was my big question)? Also yes. The sisters also still have close contact with each other: the last scene is Lilo and Nani Facetiming each other... and then actually together, in the same place, via a device we see Jumba using earlier that allows them to move from one location to the other easily.

(An argument I saw online which does make sense: If Nani can use the portal-ray-gun to visit her sister in Hawaii while she lives in California, why can't she live in Hawaii and use the portals to attend classes in California? Which is an excellent point too.)

But there's also a lot of weirdness about the movie, things that rubbed me the wrong way, and choices that I just didn't like.

Jumba's characterization is erased. He doesn't have the Russian accent. (Every time he spoke, it was jarring.) He doesn't have a redemption arc; at the end of the movie, he's taken away by the Intergalactic Counsel. Which means, he's not part of Lilo's ohana at the end. In the original version, he has a sort of... fatherly relationship with Stitch; that's gone. I wouldn't say it's far that in this version, Jumba doesn't see Stitch as a he, but an it. 

Which also means, the dynamic between Jumba and Pleakley is shifted. They're not the comic relief ambiguously gay uncles anymore; they're almost working against each other from the start. (Pleakley's character is left almost intact.) And credit where credit is due: Zach Galifianakis plays Jumba really well... just that the changes made to the character made him unlikable in the end. 

Cobra Bubbles also had some shifts to his backstory; he's not CPS in the movie, he's actually CIA. (Even though for what he does in the movie, it'd make more sense for him to be FBI.) He goes undercover as CPS to get close to Stitch, but he's not actually CPS at all. I can't decide if I like this switch to his backstory, or not. I did really like Courtney B. Vance as Cobra: he looked and sounded just about how you'd expect a live-action version of Cobra Bubbles to look like. This made his changes infinitely better than Jumba's. (Probably helped that they weren't so drastic. And Cobra really is 100% part of the family unit in the end this time, which I don't think was so explicitly stated before. That's maybe a positive: if Cobra's not actually CPS, it means his inclusion in the family unit is by choice and not necessity, which makes it that much stronger a statement for the flexibility and inclusiveness of found family.) 

Another thing that bothered me, and which I haven't seen mentioned anywhere, was the focus on health insurance (and lack thereof) as a major plot point. Because trust me, it is. The social worker at the beginning of the movie (who is not Cobra Bubbles but a new character entirely) tells Nani that she must sign them up for health insurance. And for whatever reason, Nani doesn't get this done. No mention of how she would even do that, how difficult it would be, if the insurance would start immediately (do they, even? I've never not had it through one workplace or another).

But when Lilo is hurt in a surfing accident and ends up in the ER, and Nani doesn't have insurance... well. That's the thing. Nani is literally told that the only way out is to let the State have Lilo, because only then will the State cover Lilo's doctor's bills.

And that, to me, is pure evil. That right there, should be the main takeaway from this movie. Not that Nani gives up her parental right... but why she gives up her parental rights. It's not to go to college. It's not because she can't handle the pressure of being a mom to her sister.

IT'S BECAUSE SHE LITERALLY CANNOT AFFORD TO DO OTHERWISE. Because one single visit to the emergency room--with no indication that Lilo is even going to have any major complications afterwards--is enough to utterly and completely destroy their delicate balance between being okay, and being ground into utter poverty.

It's borderline blackmail. It's kind of disgusting. And in almost any other country in the world, it wouldn't have been an issue. I have to think there's probably some interesting commentary on that plot point in other places, more or less along those lines. "Look how fucked up the American health care system is; in ours, that whole debacle would have maybe cost Nani $200, not the guardianship of her sister."

Another complaint I've seen is the downplaying of the tourist trade. Definitely saw very, very little of that: mostly in the form of when Lilo is sneaking onto a resort area and using their services when she shouldn't be. (She gets caught or called out a couple times; there are zero consequences shown. Mostly people just say, "You aren't supposed to be here" and that's the end of that. There are no interactions with tourists at all. Anyone Lilo interacts with is either Native Hawaiian or if not native, a Hawaiian resident. I think of all the speaking roles in the movie, maybe... four were not POCs. (Two of those being Jumba and Pleakley. One being Mertle, who barely appears. One being the woman working at the animal shelter. If I'm forgetting others, they appear even less than Mertle.

Having lots of POCs in the movie in main character speaking roles? Awesome. Having zero comment on the tourist trade in a movie that low-key gives you a very idyllic helicopter view of Disney's Hawaiian resort.... eh, we're getting a little sketchy here. You just know that resort is going all-in on Lilo & Stitch tie-ins. 

I can't help but think: every time there's a movie that features POCs as the main characters, there's also so many problematic issues with the movie themselves (which generally have NOTHING to do with the main characters or main actors) that there's usually a campaign: boycott this movie! Don't go see it! We saw that with Captain American Brave New World (oh no there's an Israeli actress featured and that's pro-Israel very bad). We're seeing it with Lilo & Stitch. What are we going to see it with next? All that ends up happening is it gets harder and harder for studios to justify making movies with POCs. "Oh sorry your movie tanked, we can't do a sequel." That's not their fault you approved a problematic movie.

Sigh.

Anyway. 10yo liked the movie. He doesn't see the problems, he just saw how Stitch (and Lilo!) were loved despite being wild children who have trouble controlling themselves. For him, that was the biggest message. And how family can include everyone. I don't mind him taking away those messages: they're the same ones that appealed to him in the first movie. They're the same ones that ultimately appeal to most kids. And those were still in there, just framed differently.

there is something to be said about l*rian removing the completely valid rp option for the player to retaliate against ast*rion's attack on the beach (luring you to help him under false pretenses and putting a dagger to your throat) early on in early access (iirc it was patch 2 or 3), while adding more options to kill gale when you meet him in the full release version of the game (dies by failing a roll, dies by durge gnawing off his hand, dies by leaving him in the portal, can be attacked after pulling him out of the portal).

gale, whose crime it is... to be in need of assistance and ask for help.

Having watched both documentaries on the oceangate submersible as well as a lot of the US coast guard hearings available on youtube I have come to the following conclusions:

Safety regulations are there for a reason

Being super-rich will not protect you from one man's hubris.

The more money said man has himself, the more splash damage his hubris will cause.

Mr. David Lochridge should be allowed to hunt CEOs for sport. As a treat.

Sudden and hard. Felt like a small explosion, like when the compressed gas factory a few miles away from my house exploded years ago, but with no sound besides the soft, faint thunder of a dozen nearby houses shuddering.

And our house shaking, obvs.

How to Solve Changes Not Reflecting When useState Set Method Applied?

React’s useState hook is a powerful tool for managing state in functional components. However, it’s not uncommon for developers to encounter issues where changes made using the useState set method don’t seem to reflect as expected in the component’s rendering. In this blog post, we’ll explore this issue and provide practical solutions to ensure your state changes are accurately reflected in your React components.

Understanding the Issue:

Before we dive into solutions, let’s understand why this problem occurs. React’s state updates using useState are asynchronous and rely on a mechanism called “reconciliation” to determine when to re-render components. This means that changes made to state variables might not be immediately reflected in your component’s rendering.

Practical Example:

Let’s consider a simple example to illustrate the issue:

import React, { useState } from ‘react’;

function Counter() {

const [count, setCount] = useState(0);

const incrementCount = () => {

// Attempt to increment count directly

count++;

console.log(`Count after increment: ${count}`);

};

return (

<div>

<h1>Counter: {count}</h1>

<button onClick={incrementCount}>Increment</button>

</div>

);

}

export default Counter;

In this example, we have a counter component that uses the useState hook to manage a count state variable. Clicking the “Increment” button attempts to increment count directly. However, if you test this, you’ll notice that the counter value in the rendering doesn’t update as expected.

Solutions:

Now, let’s explore practical solutions to ensure that changes to state are accurately reflected:

1. Use the Setter Function:

Instead of modifying the state variable directly, use the setter function provided by useState:

const incrementCount = () => {

setCount(count + 1);

};

This ensures that React is aware of the state change and triggers a re-render.

2. Functional Updates:

For more complex state updates that depend on the previous state, you can use functional updates with the setter function:

const incrementCount = () => {

setCount((prevCount) => prevCount + 1);

};

This approach ensures that you’re working with the latest state value, even in asynchronous updates.

Conclusion:

In React, it’s essential to use the setter function provided by useState to modify state variables correctly. Understanding the asynchronous nature of state updates and using the appropriate techniques, such as functional updates, will help ensure that your changes are accurately reflected in your component’s rendering. By following these practical solutions, you can avoid the common issue of changes not reflecting when the useState set method is applied, leading to a more reliable and responsive React application.

If the P: EG universe had an Afterlife Theater and Wolfgang got to watch everything that had happened after his death, from the discovery of his body to Diana’s speech after the trial, how do you think he would have reacted to it all?

Horrified, to put it lightly. Like, very lightly.

First off, the state of Wolfgang's body is nothing like how he presented himself as at. Wolfgang has always made an effort to appear elegant, professional, soft and composed, from the way he dressed to the way he conducted himself. But after his death, he's left completely unrecognisable. His tears and drool leak on to the concrete floor where he lies in an almost compromising position, expression permanently twisted in terror. His clothes are drenched and wrinkled and his hair is completely disheveled-- he would be absolutely appalled at the sight of himself, because it's everything he didn't want to be. It's everything he wouldn't have wanted his last impression on his friends to be.

To add insult to lethal injury, it'd be the most horrific evidence of the cruelty his classmates are capable of. Wolfgang spent the whole game believing in them, encouraging them, making the decision to trust them despite being scared as much as everyone else. Even though he was nervous about someone abusing the drugs at the pharmacy, he still decided to trust the group. Even though he took the knife, he still went to the boiler room to try and meet with whoever sent him the note. But seeing his body, and the sheer brutality inflicted on it, would probably crush whatever hope he clung to that no one here would kill to escape. And I feel like the reveal of Eva being the culprit wouldn't bring him much relief either. Because her murder completely proved him right about her being dangerous and not having their best interest in mind, sure, but at what cost? What good would that do him now? Grace wanted her dead the most for what she'd done, yet even she was stunned to horrified silence after witnessing Eva's execution and I don't think Wolfgang would react any better. Because Eva was selfish, and she was egotistical, and too caught up in her own victim/superiority complex to see the error of her (and Damon's) ways and ended his life in such a cruel way as a consequence, but she was also a teenage girl who felt isolated and afraid and helpless and whose vulnerability was targeted by Tozu. I think listening to her excuses, however unjustifiable and clearly warped, wouldn't make him feel less mortified about her tragic end.

And Diana's speech-- that one is conflicting. Cuz I feel like hearing her still talk so fondly of him, of his kindness and the way he cared for them even after he attacked her would touch his heart a lot. He died thinking he was a failure, likely would still think he is a failure, and probably believes his actions and death would tarnish whatever respectable image of him they had, so hearing that from Diana could give him some semblance of comfort. On the other hand, I can also see him not agreeing with her speech because of that self-loathing. That he doesn't deserve for her to still speak of him so fondly after what he did to her, no matter how unintentional it was. Her declaration to follow in his footsteps, despite the way that ended for him, probably wouldn't make him feel great either (especially considering Diana's a lot more naive and trusting than Wolfgang was and therefore more vulnerable). And I think the miserable silence that followed afterwards and everyone's blatant lack of hope after the trial would be his first warning of the bloodshed that's inevitable now, and the fact that he's completely powerless to stop it.

Then there's Damon's speech about him. This one's interesting cuz I don't know whether or not Wolfgang would call bullshit on it. Cuz Damon was absolutely NOT being entirely genuine, and I think Wolfgang could absolutely recognise that. There's also the fact that Damon lied to his face and hid his blackmail from him, the only reason he even went down to the boiler room. Damon claims he wouldn't harm Wolfgang, but he contributed pretty heavily to the circumstances that got him killed. However, Wolfgang's a pretty empathetic guy, and despite him not having a great opinion on Damon he's still willing to banter and tease and engage with him in a friendly and patient manner during his FTEs. He's willing put their differences and Damon's more asshole-ish behaviour aside to treat him like a fellow classmate and friend when he sees that Damon is trying. So while I think his feelings on Damon would still be sorta complicated, I feel like he would still try to be appreciative and accepting of the way Damon tries to steer everyone in the right direction and the way he offers respect to his memory, even going as far as to praise him despite it definitely bruising his ego XD

I feel like something he would feel utterly guilty about is Grace. He told her that they'd go to the tournament together but ended up making up an excuse not to go, and now he never can again. She trusted him-- she trusted him the most-- and he lied to her, and now he'll never be able to explain to her why. We see the way his death impacted her, the way it deeply hurt her because of how much she cared about him, and that hurt is something he'd feel responsible for. Her grief over him are proof of the fact that Grace is clearly capable of trust and vulnerability and affection, that whatever he saw in her during their time together was genuine and that she's is just as affected as everyone else by the killing game, but seeing the way she was struggling and the vulnerable position she's left in by the end it'd be easier if she didn't care at all. She's heartbroken and grieving, and he can't even offer her comfort or reassure her that it'll be okay. I can imagine him being really distraught and muttering quiet apologies and explanations to her in that empty theatre knowing they'd never reach her.
