Intro to Fetch Helpers (No Heavy Libs)

Create a tiny fetch helper or hook to standardize loading/error/data and JSON handling without large libraries.

Why a fetch helper?

Goal: Build a tiny helper to keep fetch code consistent.

  • Centralize JSON parsing and error checks
  • Expose data/loading/error
  • Optionally add refetch()

Function or hook?

You can write a small fetchJson() utility or a useFetch() hook. Hooks manage state automatically; utilities are easy to reuse anywhere.
