@algolia/requester-browser-xhr
Advanced tools
@algolia/requester-browser-xhr is a JavaScript library designed to facilitate making HTTP requests in a browser environment using the XMLHttpRequest (XHR) API. It is particularly useful for applications that need to interact with web services or APIs, providing a simple and efficient way to handle HTTP requests and responses.
Basic GET Request
This feature allows you to make a basic GET request to a specified URL. The code sample demonstrates how to create a requester instance and use it to send a GET request, handling the response or any errors that may occur.
const { createBrowserXhrRequester } = require('@algolia/requester-browser-xhr');
const requester = createBrowserXhrRequester();
const request = {
method: 'GET',
url: 'https://api.example.com/data',
headers: {},
data: null
};
requester(request).then(response => {
console.log(response);
}).catch(error => {
console.error(error);
});POST Request with Data
This feature allows you to make a POST request with a JSON payload. The code sample demonstrates how to create a requester instance and use it to send a POST request with data, handling the response or any errors that may occur.
const { createBrowserXhrRequester } = require('@algolia/requester-browser-xhr');
const requester = createBrowserXhrRequester();
const request = {
method: 'POST',
url: 'https://api.example.com/data',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
data: JSON.stringify({ key: 'value' })
};
requester(request).then(response => {
console.log(response);
}).catch(error => {
console.error(error);
});Handling Response Headers
This feature allows you to access and handle response headers from an HTTP request. The code sample demonstrates how to create a requester instance and use it to send a GET request, then log the response headers.
const { createBrowserXhrRequester } = require('@algolia/requester-browser-xhr');
const requester = createBrowserXhrRequester();
const request = {
method: 'GET',
url: 'https://api.example.com/data',
headers: {},
data: null
};
requester(request).then(response => {
console.log('Response Headers:', response.headers);
}).catch(error => {
console.error(error);
});Axios is a popular promise-based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js. It provides a simple API for making HTTP requests and supports features like interceptors, automatic JSON transformation, and request cancellation. Compared to @algolia/requester-browser-xhr, Axios offers more advanced features and a more user-friendly API.
Fetch is a built-in web API for making HTTP requests in the browser. It provides a modern, promise-based interface for interacting with web services. While fetch is more widely used and supported natively in modern browsers, @algolia/requester-browser-xhr may be preferred in environments where XMLHttpRequest is required or for specific use cases.
Superagent is a small, progressive HTTP request library for Node.js and the browser. It provides a flexible API for making HTTP requests and supports features like query string parsing, form submissions, and file uploads. Compared to @algolia/requester-browser-xhr, Superagent offers a more feature-rich and flexible API.
