js http request code example

Example 1: create http request javascript

const Http = new XMLHttpRequest();
const url='https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts';
Http.open("GET", url);
Http.send();

Http.onreadystatechange = (e) => {

}

Example 2: GET req with js

    xmlHttp.open( "GET", theUrl, false ); // false for synchronous request
    xmlHttp.send( null );
    return xmlHttp.responseText;
}

Example 3: 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 4: 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);
}

HTTP request method is made up of four components:
Request Method ==> Get, Post, Put, Delete (these are
the common ones)
Request URL ==> the URL of the resource
Request Header ==> Accept-Language, AcceptEncoding, User-Agent, Host
Request Body ==> This is the data to be sent to the
resource
Request Query Parameters : key value pair 
		 	
HTTP response method is made up of three components:
Response Status Code ==> 200, 301, 404, 500
(these are the most common ones)
Response Header Fields ==> Date, Server, LastModified, Content-Type
Response Body ==> This is the data that comes
back to the client from the server.
