Hello everyone, looking for a little bit of advice here. I need to build a file uploader component within a Next.js app that will need to perform a GET request to retrieve a URL before a PUT to upload the file to it. I was wondering whether I should be reaching for something like Axios for this or native fetch?

That is a style choice really. I prefer axios usually

I was always an axios person, but fetch is really growing on me

besides the points in the article, there are distinct advantages of using fetch in Next

server action is the best for here

const url = await s_getUploadURL()
fetch( url, "put", { body: FormData } )

If you're looking for a turn key solution for file uploading in nextjs to s3 (or an s3 complaint store), checkout my package next-upload
