How to send body data and headers with axios get request?

Question

I've tried

axios.get(url, {headers:{},data:{}}) 

But it doesn't work with this.

Solution 1

// data is the data to be sent as the request body // Only applicable for request methods 'PUT', 'POST', 'DELETE , and 'PATCH'

As far as I know you can't send body data with GET request. With get you can have only Headers. Just simply change to POST and then you can do something like this :

const bodyParameters = {
      key: "value",
    };
    const config = {
      headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${userToken}` }, 
    };
      axios.post("http://localhost:5000/user", bodyParameters, config)
      .then((res)=> {
       console.log(res)
      })
      .catch((err) => console.log(err));
  };

or if you want to send headers with GET request

axios.get('/user', {
    params: {
      ID: 12345
    }
  })
  .then(function (response) {
    console.log(response);
  })
  .catch(function (error) {
    console.log(error);
  })
  .then(function () {
    // always executed
  });

GET Body is allowed by the standards past 2014

unfortunately, data in GET method is not considered as body. apparently Axios doesn't support request body for GET method. weirdly, tools like Postman easily support it. I am also looking for a solution.
