A small promise-based JavaScript AJAX API
This is a small JavaScript API that I have written. It sends AJAX requests to a given page, with a given set of parameters. It then returns a promise, which will reject with an HTTP error, or resolve with the text returned from the request.
To send a request to a page (for example, logging a user in and getting the message returned) you simply call the function AjaxRequest(page, params) - this then returns a promise, if you need it.
The parameters (params value) are taken in as a dictionary, where the key is name, and the value is the value.
For example, to send a username and password (stored in variables) to a page called login.php and get the message given back, you would do the following:
AjaxRequest("login.php", {"username":username, "password":password}).then((message) => {
alert(message);
)};
There are two files which you can use:
- ajax.js, which has comments explaining how things work
- ajax-min.js, which is the minimised version of the code which you should use on your site
