import axios from 'axios';

const MyComponent = () => {
  const [data, setData] = useState(null);
  const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true);
  const [error, setError] = useState(null);

  const fetchData = async () => {
    try {
      const { data } = await axios.get(
        'https://api.thecatapi.com/v1/images/search?limit=10'
      );
      console.log(data);
      setData(data);

    } finally {
      setLoading(false);
    }
  };

  useEffect(() => {
    fetchData();
  }, []);

  if (loading) return <div className='text-center p-4'>Loading...</div>;
  if (error)
    return (
      <div className='text-center text-red-500 p-4'>Error: {error.message}</div>
    );

  return (
    <pre className='bg-zinc-900 p-4 rounded text-white'>
      <code>{JSON.stringify(data, null, 2)}</code>
    </pre>
  );
};

export default MyComponent;
