JQuery Client

The JQuery HTTP Client uses JQuery's ajax function to perform HTTP requests.

JQuery is used by this client but not installed (declared as peer dependency). The existing JQuery instance must be provided when initializing the client.

The whole client is meant to support usage of odata2ts in UI5 apps, which use Jquery for HTTP communication.

Setup​

Install package @odata2ts/http-client-jquery as runtime dependency:

npm install --save @odata2ts/http-client-jquery

JQuery is a peer-dependency of this package, so it's not contained in or installed through this package.

Usage​

The bare minimum is to create a new JQueryClient instance. It's then usually passed to the generated main service:

import { JQueryClient } from "@odata2ts/http-client-jquery";

// you pass the existing JQuery instance to the client
const httpClient = new JQueryClient(jq);
const trippinService = new TrippinService(httpClient, BASE_URL);

The client can be further configured, of course.

Configuration​

By default, the request headers Accept and Content-Type are set to application/json for all requests. Also caching of GET requests is disabled (option cache).

Use the second constructor parameter to pass your global configuration for the client. The configuration is of type AjaxRequestConfig (from @odata2ts/http-client-jquery package) and will be applied to all requests made with this client.

Here's the JQuery documentation on its ajax method, the configuration object limits the available options to:

  • complete
  • beforeSend
  • headers
  • statusCode
  • timeout
