Fetchfile.js

The simplest way to use Ajax for beginners.

About

We all love Ajax, right? But, JavaScript just messed it up. You have to use the most annoying syntax ever: XMLHttpRequest, or XHR. It is an absolute pain to write it out. But, I decided to create a library that can fit XHR into one line of JS code. It is called Fetchfile.js.

Comparison

XHR

//XMLHttpRequest
var xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
	if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {
		document.getElementById("ajaxoutput").innerHTML = this.responseText;
	}
};
xhttp.open("GET", "path/to/file.txt", true);
xhttp.send();

Fetchfile.js

Fetchfile("path/to/file.txt", false, "text", "#ajaxoutput");

They do the exact same thing, but one is by far the easiest to write.

Installation

npm

To install Fetchfile.js on npm, run the command npm i @megagames-me/Fetchfile.js.

Important: Fetchfile.js requires jQuery 3.4.1 as a dependency.

CDN

To import Fetchfile.js into your HTML project, use this code.

<script type="text/javascript" src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-3.4.1.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/megagames-me/Fetchfile.js@1.2.2/fetchfile.min.js"></script>

Note: If you want to, you can use the beta version here:

<script type="text/javascript" src="//gitcdn.link/cdn/megagames-me/Fetchfile.js/f6c5f716e3d84d9b3ef230a67322ed827509a76e/beta/fetchfile.js"></script>

This is not recommended, as it uses the latest beta version. This, however, is NOT a release! It is just the file straight from GitHub raw. This may change, so this is not recommended for production usage.

Parameters

Fetchfile(filepath, secure, outputType, whitespaceType, returnId, saveto, callback);
