ajax post requst code example

Example 1: jquery ajax post example

var formData = {name:"John", surname:"Doe", age:"31"}; //Array 

$.ajax({
    url : "https://example.com/rest/getData", // Url of backend (can be python, php, etc..)
    type: "POST", // data type (can be get, post, put, delete)
    data : formData, // data in json format
  	async : false, // enable or disable async (optional, but suggested as false if you need to populate data afterwards)
    success: function(response, textStatus, jqXHR) {
    	console.log(response);
    },
    error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
		console.log(jqXHR);
      	console.log(textStatus);
      	console.log(errorThrown);
    }
});

Example 2: jquery $.post

// Assign handlers immediately after making the request,
// and remember the jqxhr object for this request
var jqxhr = $.post( "example.php", function() {
  alert( "success" );
})
  .done(function() {
    alert( "second success" );
  })
  .fail(function() {
    alert( "error" );
  })
  .always(function() {
    alert( "finished" );
  });
 
// Perform other work here ...
 
// Set another completion function for the request above
jqxhr.always(function() {
  alert( "second finished" );
});
