import React from 'react'
import { useJsonPlaceHolder } from 'react-fakers'

Step 3: Use react-fakers.

In the component’s return statement you can see the loading, if loading is false then a loading message is displayed. If this is true, a list of items is displayed.

{!loading && <h4>Loading....</h4>}
<ul>
    {loading &&
       success.map((val, id) => (
        <li key={id}>
          {val.name} - {val.email}
        </li>
    ))}
</ul>

  }

      {!loading && <h4>Loading....</h4>}
       <ul>
        {loading &&
          success.map((val, id) => (
            <li key={id}>
              {val.name} - {val.email}
