axios - requests pool implementation - axios

Question

I'm looking for a way to create a pool of HTTP requests and have a timer that will send them every x seconds.
I'm using axios as my HTTP client and wonder if there is a hook in axios to handle a request before it being sent, save it in this pool and resolve immediately, then my timer will do the actual request asynchronously.
I imagine to have some ability like that like that:
const pool = [];
setInterval(() => {
const promises = [];
while(pool.length){
const { url, data, config } = pool.pop();
delete config.usePool;
// This request will be send to the server
promises.push(axios.post(url, data, config);
}
await Promise.all(promises);
}, 5000);
// this `axios.hook` not really exists, im looking for a way to implement it (this is my actual question)
axios.hook = (url, data, config) => {
if(config?.usePool){
pool.push({ url, data, config });
}
};
// This request won't send but save in the pool
const res = axios.post('/my/url', { a: 1, b: 1 }, { usePool: true });

For a request pool of size 8, you can use the following implementation:
const axios = require('axios');
const { Agent } = require('https');
export default axios.create({
httpsAgent: new Agent({
maxSockets: 8
})
});
You can find more configuration options for the https agent here:

There isn't an option available to space out the requests in time as you desired, although the usefulness of that approach is debatable.
