How to wait till AJAX request will complete in ExtJS - ajax

I am calling AJAX request and getting the result as well but till that time next line of code start executing. I want to hold till AJAX success block executed.
PFB the code snippet.
Ext.Ajax.request({
url: PORTALURL.EXCEPTION.MAX_VALUE,
success: function(response) {
var maxValue = Ext.decode(response.responseText);
if (grid.getSelectionModel().getSelection().length > maxValue) {
Ext.Msg.alert('Alert!', type + ' count is more than 10');
return;
}
}
});
CommonUtil.alertConfirm(msg, function() {
.. }
In above code. Before AJAX request complete and alert box pop up comes, alertConfirm gets called.
Can anyone help in this.

To wait until Ajax reponse, the best way is call that function from success block. So the code will be called after ajax response got it.
Ext.Ajax.request({
url: PORTALURL.EXCEPTION.MAX_VALUE,
success: function(response) {
var maxValue = Ext.decode(response.responseText);
if (grid.getSelectionModel().getSelection().length > maxValue) {
Ext.Msg.alert('Alert!', type + ' count is more than 10');
return;
}
// Call the required function which needs to be executed after ajax response.
CommonUtil.alertConfirm(msg, function() {
.. }
}
});

jQuery.ajax() inside a loop [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
JavaScript closure inside loops – simple practical example
(44 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
If I call jQuery.ajax() inside a loop, would it cause the call in current iteration overwrite the last call or a new XHR object is assigned for the new request?
I have a loop that do this, while from console log I can see requests done 200 ok but just the result data of the last request in the loop is stored by the request success callback as supposed .
the code:
var Ajax = {
pages: {},
current_request: null,
prefetch: function () {
currentPath = location.pathname.substr(1);
if(this.pages[currentPath])
{
var current = this.pages[currentPath];
delete this.pages[currentPath];
current['name']=currentPath;
current['title']=$("title").text().replace(' - '.SITE_NAME, '');
current['meta_description']=$("meta[name=description]").attr('content');
current['meta_keywords']=$("meta[name=keywords]").attr('content');
}
var _Ajax = this;
//the loop in question *****
for(var key in this.pages)
{
$.ajax({
method: 'get',
url:'http://'+location.hostname+'/'+key,
success: function(data) {
_Ajax.pages[key] = data;
}
});
console.debug(this.pages);
}
if(current)
{
this.pages[currentPath] = current;
}
}
};//Ajax Obj
for(var i in pages)
{
Ajax.pages[pages[i]]={};
}
$(function() {
Ajax.prefetch();
});//doc ready
You'll need a closure for key:
for(var k in this.pages){
(function(key){
$.ajax({
method: 'get',
url:'http://'+location.hostname+'/'+key,
success: function(data) {
_Ajax.pages[key] = data;
}
});
console.debug(this.pages);
})(k);
}
that way you make sure that key is always the correct on in each ajax success callback.
but other than that it should work
i made a small closure demonstration using timeout instead of ajax but the principle is the same:
http://jsfiddle.net/KS6q5/
You need to use async:false in you ajax request. It will send the ajax request synchronously waiting for the previous request to finish and then sending the next request.
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'http://stackoverflow.com',
data: data,
async: false,
success: function(data) {
//do something
},
error: function(jqXHR) {
//do something
}
});
I believe what's happening here has to do with closure. In this loop:
for(var key in this.pages)
{
$.ajax({
method: 'get',
url:'http://'+location.hostname+'/'+key,
success: function(data) {
_Ajax.pages[key] = data;
}
});
console.debug(this.pages);
}
The variable key is actually defined outside the for loop. So by the time you get to the callbacks, the value has probably changed. Try something like this instead:
http://jsfiddle.net/VHWvs/
var pages = ["a", "b", "c"];
for (var key in pages) {
console.log('before: ' + key);
(function (thisKey) {
setTimeout(function () {
console.log('after: ' + thisKey);
}, 1000);
})(key);
}
I was facing the same situation, I solved using the ajax call inside a new function then invoke the function into the loop.
It would looks like:
function a(){
for(var key in this.pages)
{
var paramsOut [] = ...
myAjaxCall(key,paramsOut);
.......
}
}
function myAjaxCall(paramsIn,paramsOut)
{
$.ajax({
method: 'get',
url:'http://'+location.hostname+'/'+paramsIn[0],
success: function(data) {
paramsOut[key] = data;
}
});
}
This is how I always do a ajax loop..
I use a recursive function that gets called after the xhr.readyState == 4
i = 0
process()
function process() {
if (i < 10) {
url = "http://some.." + i
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open("GET", url, true);
xhr.onreadystatechange = function () {
if (xhr.readyState == 4) {
alert(xhr.responseText)
i++
process()
}
}
xhr.send();
} else {
alert("done")
}
}

Converting a series of synchronous AJAX requests to asynchronous requests

How can I make second AJAX request in the function below asynchronous instead of synchronous? result is a string that should start with 'start of string' and end with 'end of string' but in the middle of the string will be the results of an initial AJAX request that is being iterated.
Foo = {
foo: function() {
$(document).on("change", '.foo', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
url: "foo.php",
success: function(rows) {
$.each(rows, function() {
var result = 'start of string'; // START
$.ajax({
url: "bar",
async: false, // I DON'T want this
success: function(data) {
result += data; // MIDDLE
}
});
result += 'end of string'; // END
});
}
});
});
}
}
Thank you.
You can take advantage of jquery deferred objects. You can have two different ajax calls in different functions and then you can use .done() method to make sure you get the final string once both the ajax calls have been completed.
Read more here:
http://api.jquery.com/category/deferred-object/
http://api.jquery.com/deferred.done/
In jquery the way to chain asynchronous calls which are executed one after other, is using promise.then(), which was also called promise.pipe() in previous jquery versions.
Foo = {
foo: function() {
$(document).on("change", '.foo', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var param1 = {url: "foo.php"};
var param1 = {url: "bar"};
$.ajax(param1)
.then(function(rows) {
var result = 'start of string'; //START
var fn = function(data) {
result += data;
}
var last, first;
$.each(rows, function() { // rows should be iterable
if (!last) {
first = last = $.ajax(param2).done(fn)
} else {
last = last.then(function(res) {
return $.ajax(param2).done(fn);
});
}
});
last.done(fn).done(function() {
result += 'end of string'; // END
});
return first;
});
});
}
}
The easiest way to do this is indeed by using deferred objects, the example of your JavaScript using the jQuery when and done deferred statements;
$.when(ajaxCallOne()).done(ajaxCallTwo(rows));
function ajaxCallOne() {
return $.ajax({
url : "foo.php",
async: true
});
}
function ajaxCallTwo(rows) {
var result = 'start of string';
$.each(rows, function() {
$.ajax({
url : "bar",
async : true,
success : function(data) {
result += data; // MIDDLE
}
});
result += 'end of string'; // END
});
return result;
}
I'm not a JavaScript nor jQuery expert, but I think you should look at those deferred objects.
http://api.jquery.com/category/deferred-object/
http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.when/
I think you should look at the javascript promise design pattern
let me explain little to you:
This promise is a sort of proxy, representing the future result of the
operation. You would then register a callback on the promise, which
will be executed by the promise once the operation does complete and
the result is available.
Using jQuery you can define promise like this:
var promise = $.getJSON('url');
then using your promise variable you can define what to do when your request is done or failed or even do some function in case it failed or succeded.
promise.done(function(s) {alert('done successfully'); });
promise.fail(function(){ alert('get failed!'); });
promise.always(function(){ alert('this 'll executed anyway!'); });
there are plenty of tutorials on it

Kill an ajax process

GET_DATA()
GET_DATA() contains this:
var xhr;
...
function get_data( phrase ) {
xhr = function get_data( phrase ) {
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'http://intranet/webservice.asmx/GetData',
data: '{phrase: "' + phrase + '"}',
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
dataType: 'json',
success: function( results ) {
$("#div1").empty();
if( results.d[0] ) {
$.each( results.d, function( index, data ) {
$("#div1").append( data.Group + ':' + data.Count + '<br />' );
});
} else {
alert( "results.d does not exist..." );
}
},
error: function(xhr, status, error) {
$('#spanLoading').empty();
var err = eval("(" + xhr.responseText + ")");
alert(err.Message) ;
}
});
}
function get_default() {
$('#div1').empty().append("default stuff goes here");
}
UPDATE 2 CODE
I've also tried this, which doesn't work either, no error messages, just returns the results of when the textbox had 2 characters when it finishes processing even if I delete everything before the process has finished:
$('#TextBox1').keyup( function() {
if(xhr && xhr.readystate != 4){
xhr.abort();
}
if ($("#TextBox1").val().length >= 2) {
get_data( $("#TextBox1").val() );
} else {
get_default();
}
});
UPDATE 1 CODE:
$('#TextBox1').keyup( function() {
if ($("#TextBox1").val().length >= 2) {
get_data( $("#TextBox1").val() );
} else {
if(xhr)
{
xhr.abort();
}
get_default();
}
});
ORIGINAL QUESTION:
I have the following code:
$('#TextBox1').keyup( function() {
if ($("#TextBox1").val().length >= 2) {
get_data( $("#TextBox1").val() );
} else {
get_default();
}
});
This has a slight glitch where if I type something really fast and then I delete it equaly fast, I see the data from get_default() flash on the screen, then it gets replaced by a previous ajax request where the value in the textbox was 2 which had not finished processing.
So basically, what I think is happening is that when the textbox has 2 characters in it, the ajax request starts which takes a second or 2. While this is happening, if I delete the 2 characters, I see the get_default() being successful, but it seems to replace it with the ajax data when the ajax data finishes.
How do I stop this from happening?
Thank you for posting get_data.
The reason why your AJAX call is not getting aborted is that xhr is not defined in the appropriate (window) scope; therefor, xhr.abort() doesn't do anything (and quite probably throws an error if you take a look at your console).
Please try the following:
var xhr = false;
function get_data( phrase ) {
xhr = $.ajax({ /* ... etc */
}
The rest should work as is.
Place a time delay before you execute your ajax request.
function pausecomp(ms) {
ms += new Date().getTime();
while (new Date() < ms){}
}

Handle multiple ajax request & response

I want to handle multiple ajax responses. Each request will take different time to complete.
Some request might be success and some might be failure . How to know which request is
success or failure ?
can anyone help me out to this one?
You can use JQuery $.ajax(..)
http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/
$.ajax({
url: "test.html",
context: document.body,
success: function(){
$(this).addClass("done");
},
statusCode: {
404: function() {
alert('page not found');
},
200: function() {
alert('OK !');
}
}
});
or generar Error callback error : {}
Here is the solution,
var requestCount = 5,
requestComplete = 0,
onAjaxComplete = function () {
requestComplete++;
if (requestComplete >= requestCount) {
// all ajax requests complete
alert('Complete');
}
};
for (var i=0; i<requestCount; i++) {
Ext.Ajax.request({
// #todo: ajax request config
success: function () {onAjaxComplete();},
failure: function () {onAjaxComplete();}
});
}

How to cancel/abort jQuery AJAX request?

I've an AJAX request which will be made every 5 seconds. But the problem is before the AJAX request if the previous request is not completed I've to abort that request and make a new request.
My code is something like this, how to resolve this issue?
$(document).ready(
var fn = function(){
$.ajax({
url: 'ajax/progress.ftl',
success: function(data) {
//do something
}
});
};
var interval = setInterval(fn, 500);
);
The jquery ajax method returns a XMLHttpRequest object. You can use this object to cancel the request.
The XMLHttpRequest has a abort method, which cancels the request, but if the request has already been sent to the server then the server will process the request even if we abort the request but the client will not wait for/handle the response.
The xhr object also contains a readyState which contains the state of the request(UNSENT-0, OPENED-1, HEADERS_RECEIVED-2, LOADING-3 and DONE-4). we can use this to check whether the previous request was completed.
$(document).ready(
var xhr;
var fn = function(){
if(xhr && xhr.readyState != 4){
xhr.abort();
}
xhr = $.ajax({
url: 'ajax/progress.ftl',
success: function(data) {
//do something
}
});
};
var interval = setInterval(fn, 500);
);
When you make a request to a server, have it check to see if a progress is not null (or fetching that data) first. If it is fetching data, abort the previous request and initiate the new one.
var progress = null
function fn () {
if (progress) {
progress.abort();
}
progress = $.ajax('ajax/progress.ftl', {
success: function(data) {
//do something
progress = null;
}
});
}
I know this might be a little late but i experience similar issues where calling the abort method didnt really aborted the request. instead the browser was still waiting for a response that it never uses.
this code resolved that issue.
try {
xhr.onreadystatechange = null;
xhr.abort();
} catch (e) {}
Why should you abort the request?
If each request takes more than five seconds, what will happen?
You shouldn't abort the request if the parameter passing with the request is not changing.
eg:- the request is for retrieving the notification data.
In such situations, The nice approach is that set a new request only after completing the previous Ajax request.
$(document).ready(
var fn = function(){
$.ajax({
url: 'ajax/progress.ftl',
success: function(data) {
//do something
},
complete: function(){setTimeout(fn, 500);}
});
};
var interval = setTimeout(fn, 500);
);
jQuery:
Use this as a starting point - as inspiration.
I solved it like this:
(this is not a perfect solution, it just aborts the last instance and is WIP code)
var singleAjax = function singleAjax_constructor(url, params) {
// remember last jQuery's get request
if (this.lastInstance) {
this.lastInstance.abort(); // triggers .always() and .fail()
this.lastInstance = false;
}
// how to use Deferred : http://api.jquery.com/category/deferred-object/
var $def = new $.Deferred();
// pass the deferrer's request handlers into the get response handlers
this.lastInstance = $.get(url, params)
.fail($def.reject) // triggers .always() and .fail()
.success($def.resolve); // triggers .always() and .done()
// return the deferrer's "control object", the promise object
return $def.promise();
}
// initiate first call
singleAjax('/ajax.php', {a: 1, b: 2})
.always(function(a,b,c) {console && console.log(a,b,c);});
// second call kills first one
singleAjax('/ajax.php', {a: 1, b: 2})
.always(function(a,b,c) {console && console.log(a,b,c);});
// here you might use .always() .fail() .success() etc.
You can use jquery-validate.js . The following is the code snippet from jquery-validate.js.
// ajax mode: abort
// usage: $.ajax({ mode: "abort"[, port: "uniqueport"]});
// if mode:"abort" is used, the previous request on that port (port can be undefined) is aborted via XMLHttpRequest.abort()
var pendingRequests = {},
ajax;
// Use a prefilter if available (1.5+)
if ( $.ajaxPrefilter ) {
$.ajaxPrefilter(function( settings, _, xhr ) {
var port = settings.port;
if ( settings.mode === "abort" ) {
if ( pendingRequests[port] ) {
pendingRequests[port].abort();
}
pendingRequests[port] = xhr;
}
});
} else {
// Proxy ajax
ajax = $.ajax;
$.ajax = function( settings ) {
var mode = ( "mode" in settings ? settings : $.ajaxSettings ).mode,
port = ( "port" in settings ? settings : $.ajaxSettings ).port;
if ( mode === "abort" ) {
if ( pendingRequests[port] ) {
pendingRequests[port].abort();
}
pendingRequests[port] = ajax.apply(this, arguments);
return pendingRequests[port];
}
return ajax.apply(this, arguments);
};
}
So that you just only need to set the parameter mode to abort when you are making ajax request.
Ref:https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery-validate/1.14.0/jquery.validate.js
Create a function to call your API. Within this function we define request callApiRequest = $.get(... - even though this is a definition of a variable, the request is called immediately, but now we have the request defined as a variable. Before the request is called, we check if our variable is defined typeof(callApiRequest) != 'undefined' and also if it is pending suggestCategoryRequest.state() == 'pending' - if both are true, we .abort() the request which will prevent the success callback from running.
// We need to wrap the call in a function
callApi = function () {
//check if request is defined, and status pending
if (typeof(callApiRequest) != 'undefined'
&& suggestCategoryRequest.state() == 'pending') {
//abort request
callApiRequest.abort()
}
//define and make request
callApiRequest = $.get("https://example.com", function (data) {
data = JSON.parse(data); //optional (for JSON data format)
//success callback
});
}
Your server/API might not support aborting the request (what if API executed some code already?), but the javascript callback will not fire. This is useful, when for example you are providing input suggestions to a user, such as hashtags input.
You can further extend this function by adding definition of error callback - what should happen if request was aborted.
Common use-case for this snippet would be a text input that fires on keypress event. You can use a timeout, to prevent sending (some of) requests that you will have to cancel .abort().
You should also check for readyState 0. Because when you use xhr.abort() this function set readyState to 0 in this object, and your if check will be always true - readyState !=4
$(document).ready(
var xhr;
var fn = function(){
if(xhr && xhr.readyState != 4 && xhr.readyState != 0){
xhr.abort();
}
xhr = $.ajax({
url: 'ajax/progress.ftl',
success: function(data) {
//do something
}
});
};
var interval = setInterval(fn, 500);
);
