Setting baseURL in default configuration

In some cases my app requires different defaults from the standard ones, and I’ve been dealing with this by putting something like this in the app’s entry point:

let axiosDefaults = require('axios/lib/defaults');
axiosDefaults.baseURL = 'http://somesite.com';

My tests are run in Node and I want to override the baseURL so that axios will work with Nock even with relative URLs, but the code above doesn’t work. Would it be reasonable to add this parameter to the defaultConfig when instantiating Axios? Or is there a better way I should be doing this? I have an example of what I mean here.

@nathanharper One solution is to create a small module like this:

// client.js

var axios = require('axios');

var axiosInstance = axios.create({
  baseURL: 'https://domain.com/foo/bar',
  /* other custom settings */
});

module.exports = axiosInstance;

and then use this new module in your code instead of requiring axios directly:

var client = require('./client');

client.get('relative/path')

never mind! I realize I’m using the wrong property baseUrl instead baseURL
