A tiny Promise wrapper for GET requests.
Jax was developed with a modern JavaScript workflow in mind. To use it, it's recommended you have a build system in place that can transpile ES6, and bundle modules. For a minimal boilerplate that does so, check out outset.
Follow these steps to get started:
Using NPM, install Jax.js, and add it to your package.json dependencies.
$ npm install jax.js --save
Import Jax from node_modules, naming it whatever you prefer.
import jax from 'jax.js'Jax uses Promises under the hood. Making a GET request uses the standard Promise syntax:
jax('url')
.then(response => {
// the request is done, and the status === 200
// ...
})
.catch(status => {
// the request is done, but the status !== 200
// ...
})Because then returns a Promise, you can chain it.
Targeting evergreen browsers. Note that IE does not natively support Promises, but Edge does.
