Question

I have the following code multiple times:

   $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        cache: false,
        url: "url here",
        success: function (data) {
            // do something here...
        }
    });

I’d like to turn this into a function as use it only once, somthing like:

function ajax (type, url, complete){
        $.ajax({
           type: type,
           cache: false,
           url: url,
           success: function (data) {
               GO TO THE METHOD SPECIFIED IN complete
        }
 });

How would I run a method specified in the complete variable? Is it possible? I’ve looked at the ajax success event for jQuery but since it would be triggered on every item that uses it, I would then have to check if it is the correct ajax request…

Answer 1

If complete is a reference to a function,

function ajax (type, url, complete){
        $.ajax({
           type: type,
           cache: false,
           url: url,
           success: complete
 });

Just make sure complete‘s arguments match what is given by success.

EDIT: If complete is an object, just find the function on it and use that:

success: complete.foo

Hope this is what you’re asking…
