SimplAjax is a simple JavaScript library to make AJAX calls.

Installation

Download SimplAjax, read the license and put simplajax.js in the root directory of your web server. Include it in your HTML as follows:

<script src='/simpajax.js'></script>

Usage

You need to create a SimplAjax object which you can call methods on. The currently accepted methods are start() and stop(). Note that a SimplAjax object's options are immutable. You can initialize it like this:

var simplajax = new SimplAjax(options);

Where options is an object that has at least a URL attribute. Other possible attributes are:

• method - GET, POST, PUT, DELETE or HEAD
• requestHeaders - an object containing custom request headers
• username - a username for basic HTTP auth
• password - a password for basic HTTP auth
• body - the body for a POST or PUT request
• success - a callback function which is called on success
• error - a callback function which is called on failure

The success and error functions must be of the following signature:

function(data, statuscode, responseheaders)

Example

This is an example of a GET request:

var getExample = new SimplAjax({
  URL: '/index.html',
  success: function(data, statuscode, responseHeaders) {
    alert(data);
    alert(statuscode);
    alert(responseHeaders);
  },
  error: function(data, statuscode, responseHeaders) {
    alert(statuscode);
  }
});
