Is it possible for me to call a function then override the contents of the variable before actually running it?
So I have a function that basically pulls in my Git profile like this:
var GetGitInfo = function() {
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
var gitURL = "https://api.github.com/users/myself/repos";
xhr.open("GET", gitURL);
xhr.send(null);
xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {
var DONE = 4; // readyState 4 means the request is done.
var OK = 200; // status 200 is a successful return.
if (xhr.readyState === DONE) {
if (xhr.status === OK) {
// console.log(xhr.responseText);
console.log(JSON.parse(xhr.responseText));
} else {
console.log('Error: ' + xhr.status);
}
}
};
}
Then I call the function in another step by doing GetGitInfo(); which all works fine.
However, If I wanted to call the function and replace the gitURL variable how would I achieve that?
So something like
GetGitInfo(
gotURL= "https://api.github.com/users/new_user/repo";
);
You can't modify a local variable to a function from outside the function. They are private to the function's implementation.
But, since it's your own function, you can just create an argument that can be passed into the function. You can even make the argument optional so it will take your initial value as the default value if it is not passed.
var GetGitInfo = function(url) {
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
var gitURL = url || "https://api.github.com/users/myself/repos";
xhr.open("GET", gitURL);
xhr.send(null);
xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {
var DONE = 4; // readyState 4 means the request is done.
var OK = 200; // status 200 is a successful return.
if (xhr.readyState === DONE) {
if (xhr.status === OK) {
// console.log(xhr.responseText);
console.log(JSON.parse(xhr.responseText));
} else {
console.log('Error: ' + xhr.status);
}
}
};
}
Then, you can use the function the way you were using it or you can pass in an URL to use:
getGitInfo(); // uses your default URL
getGitInfo("http://someURL"); // uses the URL you pass in
FYI, this function looks like it will ultimately need to either return a promise or accept a callback so you can communicate the results back to the caller.
From the snippet above you need to set the url as a function parameter so when calling it uses the specified url.
var GetInfo = function(url) {
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open("GET", url);
xhr.send(null);
xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {
var DONE = 4; // readyState 4 means the request is done.
var OK = 200; // status 200 is a successful return.
if (xhr.readyState === DONE) {
if (xhr.status === OK) {
// console.log(xhr.responseText);
console.log(JSON.parse(xhr.responseText));
} else {
console.log('Error: ' + xhr.status);
}
}
};
GetInfo("https://api.github.com/users/myself/repos");
You should do a toString() on the function:
GetGitInfo.toString()
Then you should do a text search and replace on the variable and it's data:
GetGitInfo.toString().substring(0,GetGitInfo.indexOf('somestring'))+'gitUrl="newURL"'+GetGitInfo.toString().substring(.......)
Then you should eval that string!
Or, you know, use function parameters. Either way. Whatever's easiest.
Pass a parameter to the function:
var GetGitInfo = function(gitURL) {
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open("GET", gitURL);
xhr.send(null);
xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {
var DONE = 4; // readyState 4 means the request is done.
var OK = 200; // status 200 is a successful return.
if (xhr.readyState === DONE) {
if (xhr.status === OK) {
// console.log(xhr.responseText);
console.log(JSON.parse(xhr.responseText));
} else {
console.log('Error: ' + xhr.status);
}
}
};
}
GetGetInfo("https://api.github.com/users/myself/repos");
Just add a parameter to your function:
var GetGitInfo = function(gitURL) {
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open("GET", gitURL);
xhr.send(null);
xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {
var DONE = 4; // readyState 4 means the request is done.
var OK = 200; // status 200 is a successful return.
if (xhr.readyState === DONE) {
if (xhr.status === OK) {
// console.log(xhr.responseText);
console.log(JSON.parse(xhr.responseText));
} else {
console.log('Error: ' + xhr.status);
}
}
};
}
and call it like this:
GetGitInfo("https://api.github.com/users/myself/repos");
Use the parameters
var getData = function(url){
// url can be used here
}
var data = getData("http://apiurl.xy")
How can I make an AJAX call using JavaScript, without using jQuery?
With "vanilla" (plain) JavaScript:
function loadXMLDoc() {
var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xmlhttp.readyState == XMLHttpRequest.DONE) { // XMLHttpRequest.DONE == 4
if (xmlhttp.status == 200) {
document.getElementById("myDiv").innerHTML = xmlhttp.responseText;
}
else if (xmlhttp.status == 400) {
alert('There was an error 400');
}
else {
alert('something else other than 200 was returned');
}
}
};
xmlhttp.open("GET", "ajax_info.txt", true);
xmlhttp.send();
}
With jQuery:
$.ajax({
url: "test.html",
context: document.body,
success: function() {
$(this).addClass("done");
}
});
Using the following snippet you can do similar things pretty easily, like this:
ajax.get('/test.php', {foo: 'bar'}, function() {});
Here is the snippet:
var ajax = {};
ajax.x = function () {
if (typeof XMLHttpRequest !== 'undefined') {
return new XMLHttpRequest();
}
var versions = [
"MSXML2.XmlHttp.6.0",
"MSXML2.XmlHttp.5.0",
"MSXML2.XmlHttp.4.0",
"MSXML2.XmlHttp.3.0",
"MSXML2.XmlHttp.2.0",
"Microsoft.XmlHttp"
];
var xhr;
for (var i = 0; i < versions.length; i++) {
try {
xhr = new ActiveXObject(versions[i]);
break;
} catch (e) {
}
}
return xhr;
};
ajax.send = function (url, callback, method, data, async) {
if (async === undefined) {
async = true;
}
var x = ajax.x();
x.open(method, url, async);
x.onreadystatechange = function () {
if (x.readyState == 4) {
callback(x.responseText)
}
};
if (method == 'POST') {
x.setRequestHeader('Content-type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
}
x.send(data)
};
ajax.get = function (url, data, callback, async) {
var query = [];
for (var key in data) {
query.push(encodeURIComponent(key) + '=' + encodeURIComponent(data[key]));
}
ajax.send(url + (query.length ? '?' + query.join('&') : ''), callback, 'GET', null, async)
};
ajax.post = function (url, data, callback, async) {
var query = [];
for (var key in data) {
query.push(encodeURIComponent(key) + '=' + encodeURIComponent(data[key]));
}
ajax.send(url, callback, 'POST', query.join('&'), async)
};
There is now a nicer Fetch API available natively in modern browsers. The fetch() method allows you to make web requests.
For example, to request some JSON from /get-data:
let options = {
method: 'GET',
headers: {}
};
fetch('/get-data', options)
.then(response => response.json())
.then(body => {
// Do something with body
});
See MDN Web Docs: Using the Fetch API for more details.
You can use the following function:
function callAjax(url, callback){
var xmlhttp;
// compatible with IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function(){
if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4 && xmlhttp.status == 200){
callback(xmlhttp.responseText);
}
}
xmlhttp.open("GET", url, true);
xmlhttp.send();
}
You can try similar solutions online on these links:
https://www.w3schools.com/xml/tryit.asp?filename=tryajax_first
https://www.w3schools.com/xml/tryit.asp?filename=tryajax_callback
xhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {
alert(this.responseText);
}
};
xhttp.open("GET", "ajax_info.txt", true);
xhttp.send();
How about this version in plain ES6/ES2015?
function get(url) {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
const req = new XMLHttpRequest();
req.open('GET', url);
req.onload = () => req.status === 200 ? resolve(req.response) : reject(Error(req.statusText));
req.onerror = (e) => reject(Error(`Network Error: ${e}`));
req.send();
});
}
The function returns a promise. Here is an example on how to use the function and handle the promise it returns:
get('foo.txt')
.then((data) => {
// Do stuff with data, if foo.txt was successfully loaded.
})
.catch((err) => {
// Do stuff on error...
});
If you need to load a json file you can use JSON.parse() to convert the loaded data into an JS Object.
You can also integrate req.responseType='json' into the function but unfortunately there is no IE support for it, so I would stick with JSON.parse().
Use XMLHttpRequest.
Simple GET request
httpRequest = new XMLHttpRequest()
httpRequest.open('GET', 'http://www.example.org/some.file')
httpRequest.send()
Simple POST request
httpRequest = new XMLHttpRequest()
httpRequest.open('POST', 'http://www.example.org/some/endpoint')
httpRequest.send('some data')
We can specify that the request should be asynchronous(true), the default, or synchronous(false) with an optional third argument.
// Make a synchronous GET request
httpRequest.open('GET', 'http://www.example.org/some.file', false)
We can set headers before calling httpRequest.send()
httpRequest.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
We can handle the response by setting httpRequest.onreadystatechange to a function before calling httpRequest.send()
httpRequest.onreadystatechange = function(){
// Process the server response here.
if (httpRequest.readyState === XMLHttpRequest.DONE) {
if (httpRequest.status === 200) {
alert(httpRequest.responseText);
} else {
alert('There was a problem with the request.');
}
}
}
You can get the correct object according to the browser with
function getXmlDoc() {
var xmlDoc;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
xmlDoc = new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else {
// code for IE6, IE5
xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
return xmlDoc;
}
With the correct object, a GET might can be abstracted to:
function myGet(url, callback) {
var xmlDoc = getXmlDoc();
xmlDoc.open('GET', url, true);
xmlDoc.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xmlDoc.readyState === 4 && xmlDoc.status === 200) {
callback(xmlDoc);
}
}
xmlDoc.send();
}
And a POST to:
function myPost(url, data, callback) {
var xmlDoc = getXmlDoc();
xmlDoc.open('POST', url, true);
xmlDoc.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
xmlDoc.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xmlDoc.readyState === 4 && xmlDoc.status === 200) {
callback(xmlDoc);
}
}
xmlDoc.send(data);
}
I was looking for a way to include promises with ajax and exclude jQuery. There's an article on HTML5 Rocks that talks about ES6 promises. (You could polyfill with a promise library like Q) You can use the code snippet that I copied from the article.
function get(url) {
// Return a new promise.
return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
// Do the usual XHR stuff
var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
req.open('GET', url);
req.onload = function() {
// This is called even on 404 etc
// so check the status
if (req.status == 200) {
// Resolve the promise with the response text
resolve(req.response);
}
else {
// Otherwise reject with the status text
// which will hopefully be a meaningful error
reject(Error(req.statusText));
}
};
// Handle network errors
req.onerror = function() {
reject(Error("Network Error"));
};
// Make the request
req.send();
});
}
Note: I also wrote an article about this.
A small combination from a couple of the examples below and created this simple piece:
function ajax(url, method, data, async)
{
method = typeof method !== 'undefined' ? method : 'GET';
async = typeof async !== 'undefined' ? async : false;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{
var xhReq = new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else
{
var xhReq = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
if (method == 'POST')
{
xhReq.open(method, url, async);
xhReq.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
xhReq.setRequestHeader("X-Requested-With", "XMLHttpRequest");
xhReq.send(data);
}
else
{
if(typeof data !== 'undefined' && data !== null)
{
url = url+'?'+data;
}
xhReq.open(method, url, async);
xhReq.setRequestHeader("X-Requested-With", "XMLHttpRequest");
xhReq.send(null);
}
//var serverResponse = xhReq.responseText;
//alert(serverResponse);
}
// Example usage below (using a string query):
ajax('http://www.google.com');
ajax('http://www.google.com', 'POST', 'q=test');
OR if your parameters are object(s) - minor additional code adjustment:
var parameters = {
q: 'test'
}
var query = [];
for (var key in parameters)
{
query.push(encodeURIComponent(key) + '=' + encodeURIComponent(parameters[key]));
}
ajax('http://www.google.com', 'POST', query.join('&'));
Both should be fully browser + version compatible.
If you don't want to include JQuery, I'd try out some lightweight AJAX libraries.
My favorite is reqwest. It's only 3.4kb and very well built out: https://github.com/ded/Reqwest
Here's a sample GET request with reqwest:
reqwest({
url: url,
method: 'GET',
type: 'json',
success: onSuccess
});
Now if you want something even more lightweight, I'd try microAjax at a mere 0.4kb: https://code.google.com/p/microajax/
This is all the code right here:
function microAjax(B,A){this.bindFunction=function(E,D){return function(){return E.apply(D,[D])}};this.stateChange=function(D){if(this.request.readyState==4){this.callbackFunction(this.request.responseText)}};this.getRequest=function(){if(window.ActiveXObject){return new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")}else{if(window.XMLHttpRequest){return new XMLHttpRequest()}}return false};this.postBody=(arguments[2]||"");this.callbackFunction=A;this.url=B;this.request=this.getRequest();if(this.request){var C=this.request;C.onreadystatechange=this.bindFunction(this.stateChange,this);if(this.postBody!==""){C.open("POST",B,true);C.setRequestHeader("X-Requested-With","XMLHttpRequest");C.setRequestHeader("Content-type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded");C.setRequestHeader("Connection","close")}else{C.open("GET",B,true)}C.send(this.postBody)}};
And here's a sample call:
microAjax(url, onSuccess);
XMLHttpRequest()
You can use the XMLHttpRequest() constructor to create a new XMLHttpRequest (XHR) object which will allow you to interact with a server using standard HTTP request methods (such as GET and POST):
const data = JSON.stringify({
example_1: 123,
example_2: 'Hello, world!',
});
const request = new XMLHttpRequest();
request.addEventListener('load', function () {
if (this.readyState === 4 && this.status === 200) {
console.log(this.responseText);
}
});
request.open('POST', 'example.php', true);
request.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8');
request.send(data);
fetch()
You can also use the fetch() method to obtain a Promise which resolves to the Response object representing the response to your request:
const data = JSON.stringify({
example_1: 123,
example_2: 'Hello, world!',
});
fetch('example.php', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8',
},
body: data,
}).then(response => {
if (response.ok) {
response.text().then(response => {
console.log(response);
});
}
});
navigator.sendBeacon()
On the other hand, if you are simply attempting to POST data and do not need a response from the server, the shortest solution would be to use navigator.sendBeacon():
const data = JSON.stringify({
example_1: 123,
example_2: 'Hello, world!',
});
navigator.sendBeacon('example.php', data);
Try using the Fetch Api (Fetch API)
fetch('http://example.com/movies.json').then(response => response.json()).then(data => console.log(data));
Its really clear, and 100% vanilla.
Old but I will try, maybe someone will find this info useful.
This is the minimal amount of code you need to do a GET request and fetch some JSON formatted data. This is applicable only to modern browsers like latest versions of Chrome, FF, Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge.
const xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open('GET', 'https://example.com/data.json'); // by default async
xhr.responseType = 'json'; // in which format you expect the response to be
xhr.onload = function() {
if(this.status == 200) {// onload called even on 404 etc so check the status
console.log(this.response); // No need for JSON.parse()
}
};
xhr.onerror = function() {
// error
};
xhr.send();
Also check out new Fetch API which is a promise-based replacement for XMLHttpRequest API.
From youMightNotNeedJquery.com + JSON.stringify
var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
request.open('POST', '/my/url', true);
request.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8');
request.send(JSON.stringify(data));
This may help:
function doAjax(url, callback) {
var xmlhttp = window.XMLHttpRequest ? new XMLHttpRequest() : new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4 && xmlhttp.status == 200) {
callback(xmlhttp.responseText);
}
}
xmlhttp.open("GET", url, true);
xmlhttp.send();
}
<html>

xmlDoc.onload = process ;
}
xmlDoc.open( "GET", "background.html", true );
xmlDoc.send( null );

Well it is just a 4 step easy proceess,
I hope it helps
Step 1. Store the reference to the XMLHttpRequest object
var xmlHttp = createXmlHttpRequestObject();
Step 2. Retrieve the XMLHttpRequest object
function createXmlHttpRequestObject() {
// will store the reference to the XMLHttpRequest object
var xmlHttp;
// if running Internet Explorer
if (window.ActiveXObject) {
try {
xmlHttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
} catch (e) {
xmlHttp = false;
}
}
// if running Mozilla or other browsers
else {
try {
xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
} catch (e) {
xmlHttp = false;
}
}
// return the created object or display an error message
if (!xmlHttp)
alert("Error creating the XMLHttpRequest object.");
else
return xmlHttp;
}
Step 3. Make asynchronous HTTP request using the XMLHttpRequest object
function process() {
// proceed only if the xmlHttp object isn't busy
if (xmlHttp.readyState == 4 || xmlHttp.readyState == 0) {
// retrieve the name typed by the user on the form
item = encodeURIComponent(document.getElementById("input_item").value);
// execute the your_file.php page from the server
xmlHttp.open("GET", "your_file.php?item=" + item, true);
// define the method to handle server responses
xmlHttp.onreadystatechange = handleServerResponse;
// make the server request
xmlHttp.send(null);
}
}
Step 4. Executed automatically when a message is received from the server
function handleServerResponse() {
// move forward only if the transaction has completed
if (xmlHttp.readyState == 4) {
// status of 200 indicates the transaction completed successfully
if (xmlHttp.status == 200) {
// extract the XML retrieved from the server
xmlResponse = xmlHttp.responseText;
document.getElementById("put_response").innerHTML = xmlResponse;
// restart sequence
}
// a HTTP status different than 200 signals an error
else {
alert("There was a problem accessing the server: " + xmlHttp.statusText);
}
}
}
in plain JavaScript in the browser:
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xhr.readyState == XMLHttpRequest.DONE ) {
if(xhr.status == 200){
console.log(xhr.responseText);
} else if(xhr.status == 400) {
console.log('There was an error 400');
} else {
console.log('something else other than 200 was returned');
}
}
}
xhr.open("GET", "mock_data.json", true);
xhr.send();
Or if you want to use Browserify to bundle your modules up using node.js. You can use superagent:
var request = require('superagent');
var url = '/mock_data.json';
request
.get(url)
.end(function(err, res){
if (res.ok) {
console.log('yay got ' + JSON.stringify(res.body));
} else {
console.log('Oh no! error ' + res.text);
}
});
