I use axios. It allows you to set some default configuration so that you don't need to do it with every request:
axios.defaults.headers.common.Authorization = "my-awesome-token";
axios.defaults.baseURL = http://www.somehost.com/api;
...
axios.get('/people')
.then(response => handleResponse(response))
.catch(error => handleError(error))
// actually shoots to http://www.somehost.com/api/people with Authorization header

import axios
import axios from 'axios';
get request
axios.get('api url').then(function (response) {
console.log(response);
}).catch(function (error) {
console.log(error);
});
post request
var body = {
firstName: 'testName',
lastName: 'testLastName'
};
axios.post('api url',body).then(function (response) {
console.log(response);
