how to make an http request in javascript 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) => {
  console.log(Http.responseText)
}

Example 2: GET req with js

function httpGet(theUrl) {
    var xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
    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);
});
