Since phonegap is based on local html file it doesn’t know about base url

  • 0

Since phonegap is based on local html file it doesn’t know about base url of remote server. I wonder what is the best way to set base url for ajax requests using jquery? Could anybody provide link to sample?

Currently i think about using jquery ajax prefilter.

    When I dealt with this issue, I just put that information as a data-element on the tag.

     <body data-base="http://mydomain.com"> ...

    And then used that in building out the proper URL for a given request:

     //If pathOrURL is a relative path (e.g. /users/1), then we return a qualified
 // URL, such as http://mydomain.com/users/1
 // otherwise, we return the URL as is
 var qualifyURL = function(pathOrURL) {
   if (!(new RegExp('^(http(s)?[:]//)','i')).test(pathOrURL)) {
     return $(document.body).data('base') + pathOrURL;
   }

   return pathOrURL;
 };

 //Use this helper function when calling $.ajax
 $.ajax({
   url: qualifyURL(url), ... });

    This worked great for my experience with Phonegap. Hopefully this helps.
