Ajax, prevent multiple request on click
You can disable the button.
$(this).prop('disabled', true);
In your ajax callbacks the context (this
) changes from the outer function, you can set it to be the same by using the context property in $.ajax
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/php/auth/login.php",
data: $("#login-form").serialize(),
context: this, //<-----
success: function(msg) {
//stuffs
},
complete: function() {
$(this).data('requestRunning', false);
}
});
The problem is here:
complete: function() {
$(this).data('requestRunning', false);
}
this
no longer points to the button.
$('#do-login').click(function(e) {
var me = $(this);
e.preventDefault();
if ( me.data('requestRunning') ) {
return;
}
me.data('requestRunning', true);
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/php/auth/login.php",
data: $("#login-form").serialize(),
success: function(msg) {
//stuffs
},
complete: function() {
me.data('requestRunning', false);
}
});
});
Use on()
and off()
, that's what they are there for :
$('#do-login').on('click', login);
function login(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var that = $(this);
that.off('click'); // remove handler
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/php/auth/login.php",
data: $("#login-form").serialize()
}).done(function(msg) {
// do stuff
}).always(function() {
that.on('click', login); // add handler back after ajax
});
});
