Usage

Ajax is a Promise like constructor

import Ajax from '@watch-state/ajax'

const user = await new Ajax('https://reqres.in/api/users/1')
// user === "{...}"

then, catch, finally

Use then, catch and finally like for Promise

const user = new Ajax('https://reqres.in/api/users/1')
user
  .finally(value => console.log('finally', value))
  .then(value => console.log('then', value))
  .catch(value => console.log('catch', value))

loading

You may check status of the request with loading field, it's true when data is loading. This field is observable.

const user = new Ajax('https://reqres.in/api/users/1')
// user.loading === true

await user
// user.loading === false

loaded

You may check status of the request with loaded field, it's true if the data is loaded at least one time. This is an observable field.

const user = new Ajax('https://reqres.in/api/users/1')
// user.loaded === false

await user
// user.loaded === true

value

You may get result with value. This is an observable field.

const user = new Ajax('https://reqres.in/api/users/1')

new Watch(() => console.log(user.loading ? 'loading...' : user.value))
// Watch from watch-state

error

You may handle errors or responses with error status by error field.
This is an observable field.

const user = new Ajax('https://reqres.in/api/users/23')
// returns 404 user not found

new Watch(() => console.log(
  user.loading ? 'loading...' : user.error || user.value
))

type

You can convert the response to json | text | blob | arrayBuffer | formData.

const user = new Ajax('https://reqres.in/api/users/1', {type: 'json'})

await user
// user.value.data.id === 1

default

You may provide default value for Ajax

const user = new Ajax('https://reqres.in/api/users/1', {
  type: 'json',
  default: {data: {id: null}}
})

// user.value.data.id === null

await user
// user.value.data.id === 1

response

response is the same value but without default value.
This is an observable field.

const user = new Ajax('https://reqres.in/api/users/1', {
  type: 'json',
  default: {data: {id: null}}
})

// user.value.data.id === null
// user.response === undefined

await user
// user.value.data.id === 1
// user.response.data.id === 1

data

You can change url of the request via data field or option.
Returns an observable object.

const user = new Ajax('https://reqres.in/api/users/{userId}', {
  type: 'json',
  data: {userId: 1}
})
// request to https://reqres.in/api/users/1

await user
// user.value.data.id === 1

update

Unlike a Promise, you may reuse Ajax with update method

const user = new Ajax(
  'https://reqres.in/api/users/{userId}',
  {type: 'json'}
)

user.data.userId = 1

await user // request to https://reqres.in/api/users/1
// user.value.data.id === 1

user.data.userId = 2
user.update()

await user // request to https://reqres.in/api/users/2
// user.value.data.id === 2

query

query works like data, but it changes URL search params.
Returns an observable object.

const user = new Ajax('https://reqres.in/api/users', {
  type: 'json',
  query: {page: 1}
})
// request to https://reqres.in/api/users?page=1

await user
// user.value.page === 1

user.query.page = 2
user.update()

await user
// user.value.page === 2

resolve

You may use resolve to set value without updating or loading.

const user = new Ajax('https://reqres.in/api/users/{user}', {data: {user: 1}, type: 'json'})

user.resolve({data: {id: 2}})

await user
// user.value.data.id === 2

user.update()

await user
// user.value.data.id === 1

reject

The same as resolve, but it set an error instead of value.

on, once, off

You may add a listener to react on the next events resolve | reject | update

const user = new Ajax('https://reqres.in/api/users/1')
let test = false

user.on('resolve', value => test = value)

await user
// test === '{...}'

You may add a listener which reacts only once with once method.

const user = new Ajax('https://reqres.in/api/users/1')
let test = false

user.once('resolve', value => test = value)

await user
// test === '{...}'

You may turn off a listener

const user = new Ajax('https://reqres.in/api/users/1')
let test = false

const listenr = e => test = e

user.once('resolve', listenr)
user.off('resolve', listenr)

await user
// test === undefined

answer

If you wont to know the status of the response or headers you can use answer field.

const user = new Ajax('https://reqres.in/api/users/23')

// user.answer === undefined

await user

// user.answer.ok === false
// user.answer.status === 404

It's better if you extend Ajax class to get it.

class Api extends Ajax {
  @cache get status (): number {
    return this.answer?.status
  }
}

const user = new Api('https://reqres.in/api/users/23')

// user.status === undefined

await user

// user.status === 404
