Using REST API and send POST request

javascript jquery html json

11,295

Use jquery for this:

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.0.0/jquery.min.js"></script>

And call function

$(document).ready(function(){

    $.post('localhost:5000/registrar', {
      "enrollId": "jim",
      "enrollSecret": "6avZQLwcUe9b"
    }, function(serverResponse){

    //do what you want with server response

    })

})

Same without shorthand to handle errors:

$.ajax({
  type: "POST",
  url: 'localhost:5000/registrar',
  data: {
      "enrollId": "jim",
      "enrollSecret": "6avZQLwcUe9b"
    },
  success: function(){$('#register').html('<h1>Login successfull</h1>');},
  error: function(){$('#register').html('<h1>Login error</h1>');},
  dataType: dataType
});

```
POST localhost:5000/registrar

{
  "enrollId": "jim",
  "enrollSecret": "6avZQLwcUe9b"
}
```
How do I use this in a javascript file? Do I use JSON or JQuery? And how do I invoke the request function in .html?

So if I have a <div id="register"></div> in my .html, all I have to do is $(#register).append(serverResponse) under function(serverResponse)??

200 OK { "OK": "Login successful for user 'jim'." } This is the supposed response. @Денис Матафонов

You don't need serverResponse object since it doesnt carry any valuebale info. If you need to handle failed login requests as well - you need to chacnge $.post function to $.ajax (see edit)
