As part of the work to remove Angular.js code from our codebase, we need to find an alternative for $http and $resource.

Replacing $http is easy and we can use any fetch wrapper (Axis? request?). But I wonder if we should find a replacement for $resource or have something of our own based on what we replace $http with?

Anyone got any thoughts or commendations?

Quick thoughts (considering a quick move): Axios seems a straightforward alternative to $http as the commands should remain the same. Regarding $resource we already have some services that work without it (widget is actually the only one where $resource could make sense and it doesn’t have it). It doesn’t seem like we need it, but if turns out to be a pain to be repeating code, it shouldn’t be hard to abstract the idea as a superclass or a wrapper.

I’m looking through alternatives to see if there advantages on making this differently.

Let’s roll with axios and replace $resource with plain axios usage. If we find ourselves repeating stuff, we can introduce our own abstraction along the lines of $resource.
