import { Story, Meta, html, } from '@open-wc/demoing-storybook'; import { ajax } from '../src/ajax.js'; import { AjaxClass } from '../src/AjaxClass.js'; # Ajax `lion-ajax` is the global manager for handling all ajax requests. It is a promise based system for fetching data, based on axios {html` `} ```js ajax.get('./packages/ajax/stories/data.json').then(response => console.log(response.data)); ``` ## Features - only JS functions, no (unnecessarily expensive) web components - supports GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, REQUEST, PATCH and HEAD methods - can be used with or without XSRF token ## How to use ### Installation ```sh npm i --save @lion/ajax ``` ```js import { ajax, AjaxClass } from '@lion/ajax'; ``` ## Cancelable Request It is possible to make an Ajax request cancelable, and then call `cancel()` to make the request provide a custom error once fired. {html` `} ```js const myAjax = AjaxClass.getNewInstance({ cancelable: true }); requestAnimationFrame(() => { myAjax.cancel('too slow'); }); myAjax .get('./packages/ajax/stories/data.json') .then(response => { console.log(response.data); }) .catch(error => { console.log(error); }); ``` ## Cancel concurrent requests You can cancel concurrent requests with the `cancelPreviousOnNewRequest` option. {html` `} ```js const myAjax = AjaxClass.getNewInstance({ cancelPreviousOnNewRequest: true }); myAjax .get('./packages/ajax/stories/data.json') .then(response => { console.log(response.data); }) .catch(error => { console.log(error.message); }); myAjax .get('./packages/ajax/stories/data.json') .then(response => { console.log(response.data); }) .catch(error => { console.log(error.message); }); ``` ## Considerations Due to a bug in axios options may leak in to other instances. So please avoid setting global options in axios. Interceptors have no issues. ## Future plans - Eventually we want to remove axios and replace it with Fetch - This wrapper exist to prevent this switch from causing breaking changes for our users
