Hi there, I’m currently migrating my team’s Strapi setup from 3.0.0-alpha to 3.4.6, and am wondering where utils/request and utils/auth went. Is there a replacement for these? I can’t seem to find them mentioned anywhere in the new documentation or migration info.

Specifically, I want to make authenticated requests to a custom plugin controller from the plugin’s admin panel front end. I’m completely at a loss as to how to do that without request or auth helpers.

I built a custom ‘request’ function that can make unauthenticated requests, but it’s (naturally) getting 403’s when we make queries with it.

Found them!

You can import from strapi-helper-plugin.

E.g.

import { request } from 'strapi-helper-plugin';

Wish this had have been clearer in the documentation.

That package is one on our list to document (I believe we intend to get rid of it at some point but it requires a lot of refactoring).

There was also some talk of getting rid of request and moving to axios
