tags: hooks,effect,state,intermediate
---
A hook that implements `fetch` in a declarative manner.
- Create a custom hook that takes a `url` and `options`.
- Use the `React.useState()` hook to initialize the `response` and `error` state variables.
- Use the `React.useEffect()` hook to anychronously call `fetch()` and update the state varaibles accordingly.
- Return an object containting the `response` and `error` state variables.
```jsx
const useFetch = (url, options) => {
const [response, setResponse] = React.useState(null);
const [error, setError] = React.useState(null);
React.useEffect(() => {
const fetchData = async () => {
try {
const res = await fetch(url, options);
const json = await res.json();
setResponse(json);
} catch (error) {
setError(error);
}
};
fetchData();
}, []);
return { response, error };
};
```
```jsx
const ImageFetch = props => {
const res = useFetch('https://dog.ceo/api/breeds/image/random', {});
if (!res.response) {
return <div>Loading...</div>;
}
const dogName = res.response.status;
const imageUrl = res.response.message;
return (
<div>
<img src={imageUrl} alt="avatar" width={400} height="auto" />
</div>
);
};
ReactDOM.render(<ImageFetch />, document.getElementById('root'));
```
