js HTTP code example

Example 1: node http request

const https = require('https')
const options = {
  hostname: 'whatever.com',
  port: 443,
  path: '/todos',
  method: 'GET'
}

const req = https.request(options, res => {
  console.log(`statusCode: ${res.statusCode}`)

  res.on('data', d => {
    process.stdout.write(d)
  })
})

req.on('error', error => {
  console.error(error)
})

req.end()

Example 2: javascript http request

// Use these functions:

function _GET_REQUEST(url, response) {
  var xhttp;
  if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
    xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
  } else {
    xhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
  }

  xhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
    if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {
      response(this.responseText);
    }
  };

  xhttp.open("GET", url, true);
  xhttp.send();
}

function _POST_REQUEST(url, params, response) {
  var xhttp;
  if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
    xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
  } else {
    xhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
  }

  xhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
    if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {
      response(this.responseText);
    }
  };

  xhttp.open("POST", url, true);
  xhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
  xhttp.send(params);
}


// Use like:
_GET_REQUEST('http://url.com', (response) => {
	// Do something with variable response
  	console.log(response);
});
_POST_REQUEST('http://url.com', 'parameter=sometext', (response) => {
	// Do something with variable response
  	console.log(response);
});

Example 3: http request javascript

function httpGetAsync(url, callback) {
  var xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
  xmlHttp.onreadystatechange = function() { 
    if (xmlHttp.readyState == 4 && xmlHttp.status == 200)
      callback(xmlHttp.responseText);
  }
  xmlHttp.open("GET", url, true); // true for asynchronous 
  xmlHttp.send(null);
}
