Ajax

A tiny XMLHTTPRequest abstraction, 2kb minified and a bit less than 900b minified and gzip.

Why?

I just want to use jQuery Ajax like methods, but without loading ALL jQuery.

Why not use XYZ lib?

Because I made no reasearch before building this :bowtie:.

Include in your project

You can just download it from this repo. But I'd recommend you to use bower method:

bower install Ajax

You can also use npm:

npm install ajax-abstraction

Yeap, not same name. It was already taken on NPM. Life is not so beautiful =/

How to use

If you know how to use jQuery Ajax methods, you know how to use this. See below:

Ajax.call({
	url: '/foo',
	success: function(data) {
		// my success function
	}
});

This lib supports UMD. So, import this via AMD, CommonJS or importing min script in you HTML and using as window global.

It's possible to use setup method for setting default options. The same parameters can be passed.

Options

• contentType [string]:

  • The content type of your request;
  • default: 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8'.

• context [object]:

  • Context where your callbacks will be executed;
  • default: window

• data [string]:

  • Data that will be passed on body of the request.

• dataType [string]:

  • Format that your data will be returned;
  • default: JSON

• fail [function]:

  • Function that will be called if your function doesn't return code 200.

• headers [json]:

  • Headers of your request. This must be an Javascript Object.

• method [string]:

  • HTTP method used on this request;
  • default: 'GET'.
