SimpleAjax.js

SimpleAjax.js - vanilla JavaScript library, which designed to make simple ajax-requests

Usage

// GET request to specified URL without parameters
ajax(url);

// or
ajax(url, options);

// HTMLFormElement (<form>) could be a single argument
// if it has an `action` attribute, which will be used as `url`.
// Its `method` attribute will be used as `method`. 
ajax(form);

// or
ajax(form, options);

// or just
ajax(options);

Examples

ajax("https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json", {
    statusCode: {
        200: function(response) {
            console.log("HTTP 200");
        }
    },
    success: function(response) {
        console.log("Success :)");
    },
    error: function(response) {
        console.log("Error :(");
    }
});

ajax({ url: "https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json" })
    .then(response => console.log(response.hasError ? "Error :(" : "Success :)"));

let response = await ajax("https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json");
console.log(response.value);

<form action="https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json" method="get">
    <input name="version" placeholder="NuGet version" type="text" readonly>
    <input type="submit" value="Get NuGet version!">
</form>

<script>
    document.querySelector("form").addAjax(function ({ response }) {
        this["version"].value = response.value.version;
    },
    {
        // Pre-submit handler
        // If this function will return false,
        // request processing will be canceled
        confirmation: () => confirm("Are you shure?"),

        // The time (in ms) at which repeated requests are blocked
        interval: 500
