# The $api prototype

The $api prototype is a wrapper for axios and you can use it easily anywhere in your application, it accepts the same options that axios does, just pass the option object when setting VueRest up (see Adding to your project).

Example:

export default {
  name: 'foodList',
  data() {
    return {
      ingredients: []
    }
  },
  created() {
    this.$api.get('/ingredients').then(res => {
      this.ingredients = res.data.results
    })
  }
}
