How To Make API calls in Vue.js?

Introduction

In this article, I will guide how  to Make API calls in Vue.js 

Prerequisites

• node.js installed
• Basic knowledge of Vue.js

Create Vue.js Project

To create a Vue.js app, use the following command in the terminal.

vue create vueapicall

Now install Bootstrap in the project.

npm install bootstrap
npm install bootstrap-vue

Then, open the main.js file with your code editor. Import bootstrap.

import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css'
import 'bootstrap-vue/dist/bootstrap-vue.css'

Here is the main.js file code.

import { createApp } from 'vue'
import App from './App.vue'
import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css'
import 'bootstrap-vue/dist/bootstrap-vue.css'
createApp(App).mount('#app')

Now Install the Axios library using the following command

npm install --save axios 

Now right-click on the Src folder > components folder and create a new component named 'Userlist.vue'.and add the following code in this file.

<template>
    <div>
        <table class="table table-striped">
            <thead>
                <tr>
                    <th>Name</th>
                    <th>Lastname</th>
                    <th>Phone</th>
                    <th>Website</th>
                </tr>
            </thead>
            <tbody>
                <tr v-for="user in result" :key="user.id">
                    <td>{{user.name}}</td>
                    <td>{{user.email}}</td>
                    <td>{{user.phone}}</td>
                    <td>{{user.website}}</td>

                    <!-- <td>Doe</td>
                    <td>[email protected]</td> -->
                </tr>
            </tbody>
        </table>
    </div>
</template>
  
<script>
import axios from 'axios';
export default {
    name: 'Userlist',
    data() {  
       return {  
        result: [],  
    };  
  },  
    props: {
        msg: String
    },
    mounted() {

        this.Getemployee();

    },
    methods: {
        Getemployee() {
            axios.get('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users').then(res => {
                console.log(res.data);
                this.result=res.data;
                console.log(this.result);
            })
        }
    }
}
</script>
  

Now open the App.vue file and add the following code.

<template>
  <Userlist/>
</template>

<script>
import Userlist from './components/Userlist.vue'

export default {
  name: 'App',
  components: {
    Userlist
  }
}
</script>

<style>
#app {
  font-family: Avenir, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
  -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
  -moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale;
  text-align: center;
  color: #2c3e50;
  margin-top: 60px;
}
</style>

 Now run the project by using the following command: 'npm run serve'
