Great snippets! Thanks 👍

@ulises-jeremias
I did a quick implementation but noticed that the first time, the request doesn't work as Axios initialisation would be pending. I need to make an additional call to make it work. Am I doing something wrong?

`
const { isLoading, data, fetch } = useRequest()

useEffect(() => {
let options = { url: '/applicant', method: 'GET', initialValue: [] }
fetch(options);
}, []);

`

@jayrp11 you can find a real usage example of the other hooks here! https://gist.github.com/ulises-jeremias/2360fefd8ded8d5a8f87c3258a2b5a0d
I'll add here some examples of the useRequest later 👌🏻

@praveencastelino I'll check it in a few and let you know if I can reproduce and what is the fix!

Thanks @ulises-jeremias

Ulises, tienes un ejemplo de como integrar todo este en una App? 🤔

@nappalm ahora mismo no tengo uno pero voy a ver de crear uno dentro de poco!

Thanks again for sharing
