Does fetch work with post?

In React Native, you can request data from an API over the network using the fetch() method . We are creating a function called getUsers, where we will fetch json data from rest api. We want to fetch the data as soon as the component mounts, so calling getUsers function in useEffect hook.

First, we specify the ‘method’, POST. Then, we specify the value of ‘mode’. Since the Flask server is being hosted on a different port on our machine (8080) than the React app, we have to specify the value as ‘cors’. All this means is that data will be sent across origins.

We’ll cover the following options for fetching data in React Native:

First we’re passing the url of the service endpoint. Second we’re passing object params which we created above and lastly we will pass headers to the post request. To pass raw data body content-type should be application/json .

We can provide more parameters to send a POST request.
