What are the best practices for setting up Axios in Vue?

When setting up Axios in Vue, it's important to create a dedicated service file for API calls, use interceptors for handling requests and responses, and manage error handling effectively.

Can you explain how to create a dedicated service file?

Sure! You can create a file named api.js in your src directory. In this file, you can configure Axios with your base URL and export functions for each API endpoint.

What about using interceptors? How do they work?

Interceptors allow you to run your code or modify requests/responses before they are handled by then or catch. You can set them up in your service file to add headers or handle errors globally.

How should I handle errors in Axios?

You can handle errors by using catch in your API calls or by setting up a response interceptor to manage errors globally, providing user-friendly messages.
