## What it is
A Nuxt 2 module providing secure and easy integration of the Axios HTTP client. It automatically configures base URLs for client and server, proxies headers during SSR, and offers helpers like setToken and auto-retry.

## Use cases
- make api calls from a nuxt 2 app
- set auth token globally for all http requests
- proxy request headers during server-side rendering
- auto retry failed http requests
- share axios base url between client and server
- integrate axios with nuxt progress bar

## When to avoid
- you are using Nuxt 3, which offers the built-in isomorphic $fetch API
- you need an HTTP client outside of Nuxt
