Optional object with request options. See all accepted options below.

var request = ajax({
  method: 'options',
  url: '/api/users',
  data: {
    user: 'john'
  }
})

request.then(function(response) {...})

For using this kind of request, you must pass url property.

The property data is optional, but may used to pass any data via body on request.

headers

An object when key is a header name, and value is a header value.

ajax({
  headers: {
    'content-type': 'application/json',
    'x-access-token': '123@abc'
  }
})

If content-type is not passed, application/x-www-form-urlencoded will be used.

Methods

You may use any of this methods, instead the above approach:

get(url)

Get data as a JSON object.

ajax().get('/api/users')

post(url, [data])

Save a new register or update part of this one.

// Without headers
ajax().post('/api/users', { slug: 'john' })

// With headers
var request = ajax({
  headers: {
    'x-access-token': '123@abc'
  }
})

request.post('/login', { username: 'user', password: 'b4d45$' })

put(url, [data])

Update an entire register.

ajax().put('/api/users', { slug: 'john', age: 37 })

delete(url, [data])

Delete a register.

ajax().delete('/api/users', { id: 1 })

Return methods

then(response, xhrObject)

Promise that returns if the request was successful.

ajax().get('/api/users').then(function(response, xhr) {
  // Do something
})

catch(responseError, xhrObject)

Promise that returns if the request has an error.

ajax().post('/api/users', { slug: 'john' }).catch(function(response, xhr) {
  // Do something
})

always(response, xhrObject)

That promise always returns, independent if the status is done or error.

ajax().post('/api/users', { slug: 'john' }).always(function(response, xhr) {
  // Do something
})
