using promises to fetch

[BigBaIIs]

i think using axios or promises might be best way to fetch, as when I run curl -X GET:

but beautiful way of displaying the data @Montana, will push some updates for promises/axios

Hey @BigBaIIs,

Possibly a good idea, give it a shot. Create a pull request, and I'll merge the PR and we'll test it! Always room for improvement. Theoretically speaking we could add:

const response = await axios.get('https://doge.gov/api/kpis/Federal_Government');
         setFedData(response.data);`

If we used axios. If we ended up using promises, it would look like this:

new Promise((resolve) => {
      setTimeout(() => {
        resolve({
          "aggregated": {
            "age_20_24_count": 52292,

Probably a good starting point is to try with axios, so run:

npm install axios

In the root directory, then import it via:

import axios from 'axios';

This then would use axios to pull from DOGE's API, which is: https://doge.gov/api/kpis/Federal_Government. We could also mix and match and pull data from the USA Spending API, so we'd be doing some API hopping. We may have to connect on a call.

i agree @Montana, axios seems like a good starting point, as promises offer a bit more dynamic and flexible approach to handling asynchronous operations. with axios, you get a clean, promise-based HTTP client that simplifies making requests and managing responses, which can be especially handy when dealing with APIs or fetching data in a modern JS in this case react env.

Axios based promises structure pairs nicely with hooks like useEffect for fetching data cleanly and efficiently. Plus, it handles stuff like request cancellation and interceptors, which can be a lifesaver when you’re juggling API calls in a dynamic situation.

React Query would give us things like automatic refetching, stale-while-revalidate caching, and built-in loading/error states, so we can focus more on building features and less on wrangling data. What do you think about pairing it with axios in the dashboard @BigBaIIs?

found that axios works better
