# Axios API

Requests can be made by passing the relevant config to axios.

# axios(config)

// Send a POST request
axios({
  method: 'post',
  url: '/user/12345',
  data: {
    firstName: 'Fred',
    lastName: 'Flintstone'
  }
});

// GET request for remote image in node.js
axios({
  method: 'get',
  url: 'http://bit.ly/2mTM3nY',
  responseType: 'stream'
})
  .then(function (response) {
    response.data.pipe(fs.createWriteStream('ada_lovelace.jpg'))
  });

# axios(url[, config])

// Send a GET request (default method)
axios('/user/12345');

# Request method aliases

For convenience aliases have been provided for all supported request methods.

# axios.request(config)

# axios.get(url[, config])
