Ajaon

Asynchron js and json (ajaon). A tiny, fetch based http client for the web.

Example

Quick start

import ajaon from "ajaon"

// initialisation
let ajax = ajaon();

let req = ajax.post("apiCall", {ok: "ok"})
let getReq = ajax.get("resource")

req.then(console.log)

Abort Network Requests

setTimeout(() => {
  req.abort("Message")
}, 500)

req.fail(console.error) // Abort: Message

Abort, or a for any other reason failed network request, does not throw an Error, rather it calls all explicitly attached fail callbacks.

In this case, the req Promise would never be resolved.

Initialisation options

The quick start example used no explicit initialisation options, however there are a couple of helpful customisations to be considered.

let apiUrl: string = "backend.myUrl.com" // Default: the baseUrl the website is renderd on
type SessKeyKey = {sessKeyKeyForStorage: string, sessKeyKeyForApi: string}
let sessKeyKey: string | SessKeyKey = "sess_key" // Default: "sessKey"
let storage: object = {} // Default: localStorage
let verbose: boolean = false // Default: true

let ajax = ajaon(apiUrl, sessKeyKey, storage, verbose)

• apiUrl: Your backend might be located on a different baseUrl than your frontend. This could be injected in your build script for different environments (dev, uat, prod). Please note that when no protocol (http / https) is given, ajaon will try https on your first call; though if it fails ajaon will try http next (without closing the outwards facing Promise). The working protocol will be stored.
• sessKeyKey: TODO
