Change the default base url for axios

Solution 1:

Instead of

this.$axios.get('items')

use

this.$axios({ url: 'items', baseURL: 'http://new-url.com' })

If you don't pass method: 'XXX' then by default, it will send via get method.

Solution 2:

Putting my two cents here. I wanted to do the same without hardcoding the URL for my specific request. So i came up with this solution.

To append 'api' to my baseURL, I have my default baseURL set as,

axios.defaults.baseURL = '/api/';

Then in my specific request, after explicitly setting the method and url, i set the baseURL to '/'

axios({
    method:'post',
    url:'logout',
    baseURL: '/',
   })
   .then(response => {
      window.location.reload();
   })
   .catch(error => {
       console.log(error);
   });

Solution 3:

Create .env.development, .env.production files if not exists and add there your API endpoint, for example: VUE_APP_API_ENDPOINT ='http://localtest.me:8000'
In main.js file, add this line after imports: axios.defaults.baseURL = process.env.VUE_APP_API_ENDPOINT

And that's it. Axios default base Url is replaced with build mode specific API endpoint. If you need specific baseURL for specific request, do it like this:

this.$axios({ url: 'items', baseURL: 'http://new-url.com' })

Solution 4:

If someone else still needs help with this:

You can change the Axios base URL directly where you want to use it

anotherAxiosRequest(){
 axios.defaults.baseURL = http://wwww.example.com
 axios({
   url:'/cats' //=>  http://wwww.example.com/cats
 })
}

and it will change the base URL

note that this will not change the base URL defined in main.js

Solution 5:

From axios docs you have baseURL and url

baseURL will be prepended to url when making requests. So you can define baseURL as http://127.0.0.1:8000 and make your requests to /url

 // `url` is the server URL that will be used for the request
 url: '/user',

 // `baseURL` will be prepended to `url` unless `url` is absolute.
 // It can be convenient to set `baseURL` for an instance of axios to pass relative URLs
 // to methods of that instance.
 baseURL: 'https://some-domain.com/api/',
