how to make an ajax request code example

Example 1: make ajax calls with jQuery

// GET Request
    $.ajax({
        url: "example.php?firstParam=Hello&secondParam=World", //you can also pass get parameters
        dataType: 'json',	//dataType you expect in the response from the server
        timeout: 2000
    }).done(function (data, textStatus, jqXHR) {
        //your code here
    }).fail(function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
        console.log("jqXHR:" + jqXHR);
        console.log("TestStatus: " + textStatus);
        console.log("ErrorThrown: " + errorThrown);
    });

//POST Request
    var formData = {name: "John", surname: "Doe", age: "31"}; //Array 
    $.ajax({
        url: "example.php",
        type: "POST", // data type (can be get, post, put, delete)
        data: formData, // data in json format
       	timeout: 2000,	//Is useful ONLY if async=true. If async=false it is useless
        async: false, // enable or disable async (optional, but suggested as false if you need to populate data afterwards)
        success: function (data, textStatus, jqXHR) {
            //your code here
        },
        error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
            console.log("jqXHR:" + jqXHR);
            console.log("TestStatus: " + textStatus);
            console.log("ErrorThrown: " + errorThrown);
        }
    });


//Alternatively, the old aproach is
    $.ajax({
        url: "api.php?action=getCategories",
        dataType: 'json',
        timeout: 2000,
        success: function (result, textStatus, jqXHR) {   //jqXHR = jQuery XMLHttpRequest
            /*You could put your code here but this way of doing it is obsolete. Better to use .done()*/
        },
        error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
            console.log("jqXHR:" + jqXHR);
            console.log("TestStatus: " + textStatus);
            console.log("ErrorThrown: " + errorThrown);
        }
    });

Example 2: how to make ajax request javascript

//Change the text of a <div> element using an AJAX //request:
//using JQuery


$("button").click(function(){
  $.ajax({url: "demo_test.txt", success: function(result){
    $("#div1").html(result);
  }});
});



//To send a request to a server, we use the open() //and send() methods of the XMLHttpRequest object:
// Javascript


xhttp.open("GET", "ajax_info.txt", true);
xhttp.send();

//example below
<html>
<body>

<h1>The XMLHttpRequest Object</h1>

<button type="button" onclick="loadDoc()">Request data</button>

<p id="demo"></p>


<script>
function loadDoc() {
  var xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
  xhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
    if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {
      document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = this.responseText;
    }
  };
  xhttp.open("GET", "demo_get.asp", true);
  xhttp.send();
}
</script>

</body>
</html>
