I am in the process of converting this jQuery call to vanilla JavaScript using fetch() following the guidance provided by MDN (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Fetch_API/Using_Fetch#Supplying_request_options).
$.ajax(
{
method: "GET",
url: CB_ABS_URI + "ajax/get-checkin.php",
dataType: "json",
data: { DwellingUnitID:DwellingUnitID },
})
and I wish to change it to:
// Illustrative POST method example:
async function postData(url = '', data = {}) {
// Default options are marked with *
const response = await fetch(url, {
method: 'GET', // *GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.
mode: 'cors', // no-cors, *cors, same-origin
cache: 'no-cache', // *default, no-cache, reload, force-cache, only-if-cached
credentials: 'same-origin', // include, *same-origin, omit
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
// 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
},
redirect: 'follow', // manual, *follow, error
referrerPolicy: 'no-referrer', // no-referrer, *client
body: JSON.stringify(data) // body data type must match "Content-Type" header
});
return await response.json(); // transforms JSON response into native JavaScript objects
}
postData(CB_ABS_URI + "ajax/get-checkin.php", { DwellingUnitID: DwellingUnitID })
.then((data) => {
console.log(data); // Data parsed from JSON by `response.json()` call
});
However, I am experiencing difficulties sending GET data through the body. Is modifying ajax/get-checkin.php to incorporate the query my sole option?
