7164 :: How can I do 'fetch' or 'XMLrequest' thing in JS?

• hrm (orginal) [2020-11-27T15:05:25+01:00] view original

  I'm writing some helpers for my own web app, and decided to write it up with Nim JS support.

  And reading karax source code for finding how to fetch in Nim. I found ajaxGET and inside that proc, there newRequest has been called, but I canNot find where 'newRequet' defined.

  Any one could help? newRequest definition OR where is howto compile fetch document.

  Thanks. I gave it a little try.

  For simple 'GET' fetch, it works and JS code is compact, perfectly. If I do some 'POST', the JS code starts to get fat. I don't think its extra large, but a bit messy.

  Any way it works. I can choose going along with this or just using karax. Thank you so much. I would not find this by myself.

  With importc pragma, you can write like the example here: its type import definition , its methods definition , and its invocation but keep in mind this example was written with older nim version, so it might not compile anymore.

  No idea about this coz I have been afraid of pragma thing all the time.

  Tried compiling some procs, it works! Maybe I can stick to use this feature around. Thank you !
