Best way to call backend api

[arkaprova]

Could you please let me know what is the best way to call backend api from quasar ? Is there any design pattern we can follow ? How can reuse the return object in multiple pages once api is called ?

What is your backend supporting? Rest? GraphQL?

@arkaprova You can use axios for POSTing and GETting backend API and wrap the response into JSON file containing

{
  status: true/false,
  data: {
    key1: value1,
    key2: value2,
    etc.
  }
}

Status can be specified as codes instead, like status: 200 | status: 400 | etc.
Data can be string | array | object | number

That all would really depend on how you read the requests and return the values in backend.

@s-molinari Rest api

I personally like using the fetch api, but axios works too. As far as how I structure it, I usually have a boot file that injects an instance of a class into Vue.prototype.$api so I can call it anywhere like this.$api.getUsers()
