We are using componentDidMount life time hooks to call the axios.get to get JSON data. Retrieved data will be put in state and will be used inside the the render() function

import React from 'react'
import axios from 'axios'

export class Tasks extends React.Component {

    state = {
        tasks: []
    }


    async componentDidMount() {

        axios.get('http://localhost:3000/api/tasks')
            .then(res => {
                const tasks = res.data.data;
                this.setState({ tasks });
            })
    }


    render() {
        return (
            <div>
                <ul>
                    {this.state.tasks.map(task => <li>{task.title}</li>)}
                </ul>

            </div>
        )
    }
}
export default Tasks;
