http post request in javascript code example

Example 1: javascript send post request

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

}

// ...

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

    xhr.onload = function () {
      if (this.status >= 200 && this.status < 300) {
        resolve(xhr.response);
      } else {
        reject({
          status: this.status,
          statusText: xhr.statusText
        });
      }
    };
