More HTTP methods for jQuery.ajax, emulated for cross-browser support.
Enhance forms with method overrides.
Great for integrating with a RESTful API (see Framework support).
Uses conventions like the X-HTTP-Method-Override header and the hidden _method parameter to proxy the lesser-used methods through the fully-supported GET and POST.
The "useful" methods from RFC 2616 are supported, proxied as follows:
PUT:POSTPATCH:POSTDELETE:POSTHEAD:GETOPTIONS:GET
Via bower as jquery-methodOverride.
bower install --save jquery-methodOverrideInclude on your page, after jQuery. Supports AMD.
The following methods will become available, which simultaneously support both $.ajax and $.get/$.post APIs.
$.put(/* ... */);
$.patch(/* ... */);
$.delete(/* ... */);
$.head(/* ... */);
$.options(/* ... */);For API details, refer to:
To enhance a form with method override, use $.fn.methodOverride.
Given the following form:
<form method="put">
<!-- ... -->
</form>And adding the following script:
$('form').methodOverride();Will result in the following enhanced form:
<form method="POST" data-method-override="put">
<!-- ... -->
<input type="hidden" name="_method" value="put">
</form>-
$.fn.methodOverride.map:function (method:String) : StringMaps a method to its override method, if any.
-
$.fn.methodOverride.methods:Object.<String>The raw object mapping methods to their override methods.
