Installing

Package manager

Using npm:

$ npm install axios

Using bower:

$ bower install axios

Using yarn:

$ yarn add axios

Using pnpm:

$ pnpm add axios

Once the package is installed, you can import the library using import or require approach:

import axios, {isCancel, AxiosError} from 'axios';

You can also use the default export, since the named export is just a re-export from the Axios factory:

 const axios = require('axios');
console.log(axios.isCancel('something'));
 

If you use require for importing, only default export is available:

 const axios = require('axios');
console.log(axios.isCancel('something'));
 

For cases where something went wrong when trying to import a module into a custom or legacy environment,
you can try importing the module package directly:

const axios = require('axios/dist/browser/axios.cjs'); // browser commonJS bundle (ES2017)
// const axios = require('axios/dist/node/axios.cjs'); // node commonJS bundle (ES2017)
