[Solved] Change the default base url for axios
I have configured my axios like this
const axiosConfig = {
baseURL: 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/api',
timeout: 30000,
};
Vue.prototype.$axios = axios.create(axiosConfig)
Inside my component i make a call as
this.$axios.get('items').then()..
Now the above works but i would like to change the baseURL without affecting the global base URL so that in my component i can simply use without API endpoint so
I’ve tried
this.$axios.baseURL = "http://127.0.0.1:8000";
this.$axios.get().. //this is still in api endpoint
How do i go about this?
Solution #1:
Instead of
this.$axios.get('items')
use
this.$axios({ url: 'items', baseURL: 'http://new-url.com' })
If you don’t pass method: 'XXX' then by default, it will send via get method.

Solution #2:
Putting my two cents here. I wanted to do the same without hardcoding the URL for my specific request. So i came up with this solution.
To append 'api' to my baseURL, I have my default baseURL set as,
axios.defaults.baseURL = '/api/';
Then in my specific request, after explicitly setting the method and url, i set the baseURL to '/'
axios({
method:'post',
url:'logout',
baseURL: '/',
})
.then(response => {
window.location.reload();
})
.catch(error => {
console.log(error);
});
Solution #3:
- Create .env.development, .env.production files if not exists and add there your API endpoint, for example:
VUE_APP_API_ENDPOINT ='http://localtest.me:8000' - In main.js file, add this line after imports:
axios.defaults.baseURL = process.env.VUE_APP_API_ENDPOINT
And that’s it. Axios default base Url is replaced with build mode specific API endpoint.
If you need specific baseURL for specific request, do it like this:
this.$axios({ url: 'items', baseURL: 'http://new-url.com' })
Solution #4:
From axios docs you have baseURL and url
baseURL will be prepended to url when making requests. So you can define baseURL as http://127.0.0.1:8000 and make your requests to /url
// `url` is the server URL that will be used for the request
url: '/user',
// `baseURL` will be prepended to `url` unless `url` is absolute.
// It can be convenient to set `baseURL` for an instance of axios to pass relative URLs
// to methods of that instance.
baseURL: 'https://some-domain.com/api/',
