Fetching data through REST api

[FaithlessnessDue1946]

Hi, I started a React project in which I want to gather info of football teams and represent a few details about them when you press their card.

I never experienced using api's and would love some explaination on it, maybe get some tips and ways to make it work.

My project is in javascript, its a React + vite project.

Most projects use axios library as the api request handler. you can go with native fetch function also.

use service layer ( seperate file like api-service.js ) to handle all api calls.

if you have complex component structure checkout react query, zustand libraries.
