React js simple JavaScript https get request in method

Question

I have a react function called bound on the constructor that gets called on the click of an "update" button. Within that update method, I want to do a simple HTTPS get request something like this

xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlHttp.open("GET","https://test", true)
xmlHttp.send(null)
enter code here

But I want to open a new tab when it does this I have not imported Axios or anything else.

Take a look at the [fetch api](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Fetch_API) — Tiago Alves, Feb 17 '18 at 23:57

Don't forgot write callback of your xmlHttp

xmlHttp.onreadystatechange = yourcallback

xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlHttp.open("GET","https://test", true)
xmlHttp.send(null)

This works without needing to make changes but its better with the callback if you want to do any handling of the statuses that may be sent back.
