Example Error Handling

To manage potential errors gracefully, you can use a try...catch block in your Axios requests. Here’s an example of how to implement error handling when fetching quote data:

import axios from "axios";
 
async function fetchQuote() {
  try {
    const response = await axios.get(
      "https://freeapihub.onrender.com/api/v1/quotes"
    );
    console.log(response.data);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(
      "Error fetching quote data: ",
      error.response?.data?.message || "An unexpected error occurred."
    );
  }
}
 
fetchQuote();
