Setting Axios to put/post dynamically

 Let me avoid wasting more time and quickly jump on the problem statement. What is the problem statement -  - I want to use the same React component both for Create/Update. How I achieved it -  - Firstly for new object, it worked smoothly and I wanted to reuse the same component again for edit/update too. - I sent the existing values as props and saved them into the corresponding states. - I reused the existing method ( axios server call ) so that it dynamically POST/PUT as needed.This is show below -         //this method calls post/put dynamically - simple code here..no rocket science methodCall = () => { const { Id, editable, details } = this.state; //check if new or existing record if (editable) { return API.put(`/post/${Id}`, details); } else { return API.post("/post", details); } }; //call this method onClick/onSubmit - as you want to handleSubmit = (event) => { event.preventDefault(); //call dynamic this.me
