Get-Page Project

Installation

This project is only for GET requests. To use this, just import the via the CDN:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/carrotscript/get-page@1.2/install.min.js"></script>

Usage

To use it, you use the function get and add a .then statement to get the promise. For example:

get("https://google.com").then(data => {
  console.log(data);
})

If you are accessing JSON and want to parse it, you use the json function:

get("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1").then(data => {
  console.log(data.id); // getting undefined
  data = json(data);
  console.log(data.id); // getting 1
})

Advantages

1. Supports CORS requests

The best feature may be it's built-in CORS proxy! It never expires and does not have a quota! Regular requests via JS only support non-CORS blocked servers.

2. Really easy to use

JavaScript is pretty hard to use without a framework. And for calling data from server's, they can be extremly hard. Check out this comaparison:

XMLHttpRequest - A waste of time

var xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
    if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {
       console.log(xhttp.responseText);
    }
};
xhttp.open("GET", "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1", true);
xhttp.send();

Fetch API - Close, but not the best

let url = "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1";
fetch(url)
.then(response => {
	response.json();
})
.then(data => {
	console.log(data);
});

Get-Page - The best out of all of them

get("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1").then(data => {
  console.log(json(data));
})
