Is there a way to make a function that converts default ajax function.
This is the ajax function i have
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "http://" + document.location.host + '/userajax',
data: 'type=register&name=' + name,
beforeSend:function() {
},
success: function(response) {
}
});
This is what i want it to look like
ajax('url', {
method: 'get',
parameters: {
name: $('#name').val()
},
beforeSend: function() {
},
success: function(transport) {
}
});
Ive tried to search on the internet but did not find anything
I don't think so. but you can do this:
$(document).ready(function(){
var parameters = {
name: $("#name").val(),
desc: $("#desc").val()
};
$.ajax({
url: 'path/to/file',
data : parameters,
beforeSend: beforeSubmit,
dataType: "json",
type : 'POST',
})
.done(function(data) {
})
.fail(function() {
console.log("error");
})
})
Also note I don't set the function for the beforeSend directly in the call, I will create an externe function which gives me more freedom.
so I could do this:
function beforeSubmit(){
if(something !== 'somethingelse'){
return false; //ajax call will stop
}else{
return true; //ajax call
}
}
Sure, you can create the function like this:
function ajax(url, params){
// everything is now available here
console.log( url ); // output: http://www.google.com
// you can get the data of the params object like this
console.log( params.method ); // output: get
// you can execute the beforeSend like this:
params.beforeSend();
// additionally you might want to check everything.
// maybe if the method is NOT set, you want it to always use GET
switch(arguments.length) {
case 1: url = throw new Error('Url should be set');
case 2: params.method = 'get';
case 3: break;
default: throw new Error('illegal argument count')
}
}
You would call this like:
ajax('http://www.google.com', {
method: 'get',
parameters: {
name: $('#name').val()
},
beforeSend: function() {
// some function
},
success: function(transport) {
// some function
}
});
This certainly is possible, it's just a bit of work. Some of the basics you need:
First of all, you need a good understanding of the XMLHTTPRequest API, you can find more info on that on MDN.
Next, finding out how to do a callback, that is actually quite simple, you can pass an anonymous function reference as an option or attribute for a function. That goes like this:
function doSomething(variable, callback){
variable = variable + ' something'; // just doing something with the variable
callback(variable);
}
// then call the function with a callback (anonymous function)
doSomething('doing', function(result){ alert(result); });
You should get an alert that says 'doing something'.
And finally you should know how to read an object, passed as 'options' in the ajax
function. Say you have a function like this:
function foo(url, options){
console.log(url);
console.log(options.method);
console.log(options.parameters.name);
}
// call it like this
foo('https://google.com/', {
method: 'get',
parameters: {
name: 'myName'
}
});
That should log the url, method and parameters in the console.
Now from here, you should have all the pieces to put the puzzle together. Good luck!
