jQuery ajax-stye http requests in node
jQuery ajax is stupid simple. This project provides a lightweight wrapper for the nodejs http request object that enables jquery ajax style syntax when making serverside requests to other webpages in node.js
It features very flexible method overloads to suit various styles, including with jquery style deferreds.
It seamlessly handles ssl and makes some reasonable assumptions based on inputs but as usual everything can be overridden by passing an options object.
- switched from underscore to lodash
Breaking changes!
success
anderror
callback arguments are now in jQuery.ajax order and format.contentType

, not justjson
.- Undocumented
encoder
option deprecated. Any object can already override its owntoString()
. - CRLF (
\n
) removed from end of POST message body. It did not match HTTP spec.
Install the module with: npm install najax
var najax = $ = require('najax')
najax('http://www.google.com', callback)
najax('http://www.google.com', { type: 'POST' }, callback)
najax({ url: 'http://www.google.com', type: 'POST', success: callback })
najax({ url: 'http://www.google.com', type: 'POST' })
.success(callback)
.error(errorHandler)
$.get, $.post, $.put, $.delete...
- npm install && npm test
