Ah, alright. Trendy does have a negative connotation with it as well; as opposed to “established” i.e. this trend will pass. Also, note the addition of “data formats that are around today” is clearly a jab at the age of JSON and nothing else.

JSON, which has been around since 01, is trendy?

Well anything is anything. He recommends physically mailing your contacts hoping they’ll write an 1800s-style letter back.

Unless you need to account for compat (DoD, gov’t contractors), easy cancellation (e.g. polling is necessary vs pubsub), upload progress (e.g. progress bars for large uploads), or better errors (axios throws on server errors, fetch, by default, replies OK).

It’s also nicer to configure - though I suppose you can just build classes for each fetch client on the frontend. Middleware - in particular, is easier in axios for advanced auth flows.

Native fetch is great, but saying no one uses one of the most installed (per weekly) packages on npm is just outright wrong.

Then again, this is a weird hill for me to die on so I’ll leave it. The confidence of your statement was just…strange. And for some reason I was compelled to comment.

What’s wrong with axios? Quite a bold claim. Do you just want to sound smart?

My thing is imports. Like, why, why do you delete it right after I typed it in and saved?

A monad is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors, what’s the problem?
