javascript call post code example

Example 1: javascript send post request

let data = {element: "barium"};

fetch("/post/data/here", {
  method: "POST", 
  body: JSON.stringify(data)
}).then(res => {
  console.log("Request complete! response:", res);
});


// If you are as lazy as me (or just prefer a shortcut/helper):

window.post = function(url, data) {
  return fetch(url, {method: "POST", body: JSON.stringify(data)});
}

// ...

post("post/data/here", {element: "osmium"});

Example 2: javascript ajax request

function makeRequest (method, url, data) {
  return new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
    var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
    xhr.open(method, url);
    xhr.onload = function () {
      if (this.status >= 200 && this.status < 300) {
        resolve(xhr.response);
      } else {
        reject({
          status: this.status,
          statusText: xhr.statusText
        });
      }
    };
    xhr.onerror = function () {
      reject({
        status: this.status,
        statusText: xhr.statusText
      });
    };
    if(method=="POST" && data){
        xhr.send(data);
    }else{
        xhr.send();
    }
  });
}
