Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

ajax-client

npm version CircleCI codecov License: MIT

A simple ajax client with jQuery like ajax API for js.

jQuery is great, but do you use jQuery(80KB over) only for ajax?

install

  • use package with npm
npm install ajax-client 

and write followings in your code

  • AjaxClient is based on the XmlHttpRequest2 and HAS APIs most similar to jQuery's API
import {AjaxClient} from 'ajax-client'
client.ajax({
  type: 'post',
  url: 'http://localhost:9999/api',
  headers: {
    'X-Original-Header1': 'header-value-1',//Additional Headers
    'X-Original-Header2': 'header-value-2',
  },
  contentType: 'application/json',//content-type of sending data
  data: JSON.stringify(data),//text data
  dataType: 'json',//data type to parse when receiving response from server
  timeoutMillis: 5000,//timeout milli-seconds
  // crossDomain: true,
  // xhrFields: {
  //   withCredentials: true,
  // },
  success: (response, xhr) => {
  },
  error: (e, xhr) => {

  },
  timeout: (e, xhr) => {

  }
});
  • AjaxClient2(recommended) is base on fetch API
import {AjaxClient2 as AjaxClient} from 'ajax-client'
import ajax_client from 'ajax-client';
const { AjaxClient2 } = ajax_client;
  • use from CDN
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/lib/ajax-client.min.js"></script>

usage

Post

  • Post JSON string to server,Receive JSON string from server.

       const client = new AjaxClient2();
 
       //Data object to send
       const data = {
         message: "hello"
       }
 
       client.ajax({

      }).fail((data,response,cause,err) => {
        console.log(data);
        console.log(response.status);
      });

Post with Async/Await

const client = new AjaxClient2();  
const result = await client.post({
        url: 'http://localhost:9999/api',
        headers: {
          'X-Original-Header1': 'header-value-1',//Additional Headers

      });
console.log(result.success); // true if success
console.log(result.data);// get JSON-parsed data
console.log(result.response.status);// get status code 200

Success Response

{
success: true,
data:{ },// response payload from server
response:{}, // get raw fetch response.You can get response.status,response.statusText etc.  
}

Error Response

  • server error

Occurs when the server side returns a status code other than 200-299. Parse the error object yourself if you want to determine more details.

{
success: false;
data:{ },// response payload from server
cause:'server error,statusCode:404',
error:e,// error object
response:{}, // get raw fetch response.You can get response.status,response.statusText etc.  
}
  • client error

When you specify json as the expected data type, but the server returns text, etc. Parse the error object yourself if you want to determine more details.

{
success: false;
data:{ },// response payload from server
cause:'client error,${error_message_thrown_at_client}',
error:e,// error object
response:{}, // get raw fetch response.You can get response.status,response.statusText etc.
}
  • network error

Occurs when the network is disconnected or the server cannot be found. Parse the error object yourself if you want to determine more details.

{
success: false;
data:null,
cause:'network error',
error:e,// error object
response:null,  // no server response
}
  • timeout error

  • Occurs when no reply is received from the server for more than the specified timeout milliseconds.

{
  success: false;
  data:null,
  cause:'timeout,100ms elapsed',
    error:e,// error object
    response:null,
}

Get

     const client = new AjaxClient2();

      client.ajax({
        type: 'get',
        url: 'http://localhost:9999/something.html',
        dataType: 'text',//data type to parse when receiving response from server
        timeoutMillis: 5000,//timeout milli-seconds
        success: (data, response) => {
          // response is fetch response
        },
        error: (data,response,cause,err) => {
        },
        timeout: (data,response,cause,err) => {
        }
      });
console.log(result.success); // true if success

}

Error Response

  • server error
{
success: false;
cause:'error',// 'error' or 'timeout'
error:e,// error object
response:{}, // get raw response.You can get response.status,response.statusText etc.

Run on node.js (ES6 -)

If you set up node-fetch externally, you can use AjaxClient with node.js.

import fetch from 'node-fetch';
import ajax_client from 'ajax-client';
const { AjaxClient2 } = ajax_client;
const ajax = new AjaxClient2({ fetch });

Run on node.js (commonJS/babel)

If you set up node-fetch externally, you can use AjaxClient with node.js.

import fetch from 'node-fetch';
import { AjaxClient2 as AjaxClient } from 'ajax-client';
const ajax = new AjaxClient({ fetch });

Run test server (node.js)

  • run test-server to test example above

TestServer.js

npm run test-server

/**
 * Test Server for ajax-client
 *
 * npm run test-server
 *
 * @type {createApplication}
 */

const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');

app.use(bodyParser.json());

//Specify port
var port = process.env.PORT || 9999;

//Allow CORS
app.use(function (req, res, next) {
    res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
    res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "Origin,Content-Type,Accept,X-Original-Header1,X-Original-Header2");
    next();
});

//Handle 'post' as 'http://localhost:9999/api'
app.post('/api', bodyParser.json(), function (req, res, next) {

    res.status(200);

    const data = req.body;
    if (data) {
        let message = "Hi,there! You say " + data.message;
        res.json({
            output: message
        });
    } else {
        let message = 'error:message not found.';
        res.json({
            error: message
        });
    }


});
app.listen(port);
console.log('Server started on port:' + port);
