Form Elements
GET POST
Requests data from a specified
resource
Submits data to be processed
to a specified resource
Can be bookmarked Cannot be bookmarkedBookmarked
Can be cached Not cachedCached
Data is visible to everyone in the URL Data is not displayed in the URLVisibility
Harmless Data will be re-submittedBACK button / Reload
The length of a URL is limited No restrictionsMax URL length

Event Delegator
13
1. function delegator (elem) {
2. return function (type, selectors, fn, capture) {
3. function matches (target) {
4. return selectors.some(v => target.matches(v));
5. }
6. function listener (e) {
7. matches(e.target) && fn.call(e.target, e);
8. }
9. selectors = selectors.split(/,s*/g);
10. elem.addEventListener(type, listener, capture);
11. return listener;
12. };
13. }

HTML <input> Events
14
1. var query = document.querySelector('input#query');
2. var logger = function (e) { console.log(e.type); }

5. query.addEventListener('blur', logger);
6. query.addEventListener('change', logger);
7. query.addEventListener('keydown', logger);
8. query.addEventListener('keypress', logger);
9. query.addEventListener('keyup', logger);
10. /* When the input has focus, and user typed one letter */
11. // 'focus', 'keydown', 'keypress', 'input', 'keyup'
12. /* When the input has lost focus */
13. // 'change', 'blur'

Focus Events
15
1. <input id="name" type="text"/>

● Click the caret button to open options
● Type keywords to filter options
● Arrow buttons to highlight an option
● Press enter to set value with the
highlighted option
● Click cancel button to clear search

40
Date Picker
The date picker contains the date input field
and the calendar view. Users can either use
the input field to type a date or by selecting a
date in the calendar.
Date picker interaction specs ( incomplete ) :
● Focus input to open a canlendar
● Press keyboard arrows to switch year,
month, and date
● Click arrows to switch months
● Click a date to set value
Custom Components

AJAX
43
● AJAX is an acronym for Asynchronous
JavaScript and XML
● It is a web technique that allows for more
interactivity by making web pages that
fetch data in the background and alter
themselves without reloading the entire
page.
● A user can continue to use the
application while the client program
requests information from the server in
the background.

(XML / TEXT / HTML / JSON)

Making an AJAX Request
47
1. var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
2. xhr.onreadystatechange = function () {
3. if (xhr.readyState === xhr.DONE && xhr.status === 200) {
4. console.log(xhr.responseText);
5. // <button id="{{id}}" type="button">{{action}}</button>
6. }
7. };
8. xhr.open('get', '/templates/button.html', true);
9. xhr.send();

Making a Synchronous Request
48
2. xhr.open('GET', '/data/cars.json', false);
3. xhr.send();
5. // '["audi","benz","bmw"]'

Synchronous XMLHttpRequest
makes the JavaScript stop
executing until the server
response is ready. If the server
is busy or slow, the application
will hang or stop.
49

Wrapping XMLHttpRequest
50
1. function request (method, url, callback) {
4. if (xhr.readyState === xhr.DONE && xhr.status === 200) {
5. callback instanceof Function && callback(this);
6. }
7. };
8. xhr.open(method, url, true);
9. return xhr;
10. }
11. /* Usage */
12. // request('get', '/data/cars.json', (xhr) => { … }).send();

Handling the Server Response
51
1. request('get', '/data/numbers.json', function (xhr) {
2. console.log(xhr.status); // 200
3. console.log(xhr.statusText); // 'OK'
4. console.log(xhr.responseText); // '[100,200,300]'
5. console.log(xhr.getResponseHeader('Content-type'));
6. // 'application/json'
7. })
8. .send();

Working with XML Data
52
1. /* Given a XML file 'food.xml' as follows:
2. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
3. <root><food>Pizza</food><food>Bread</food></root>
4. */
5. request('get', '/data/food.xml', function (xhr) {
6. var nodes = xhr.responseXML.getElementsByTagName('food');
7. var data = [...nodes].map(node => node.textContent);
8. console.log(data); // (2) ['Pizza', 'Bread']
9. })
10. .send();

Using POST Method in XMLHTTPRequest
53
1. var item = 'item=iphone';
2. var amount = 'amount=99';
3. var params = [item, amount].join('&');
4. var contentType = 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded';
5. var xhr = request('post', '/order', function (xhr) {
7. // '{"data":{"item":"iphone","amount":"99"}}'
8. });
9. xhr.setRequestHeader('Content-type', contentType);
10. xhr.send(params);

Encoding a URI Component
54
1. var hello = '你好';
2. var param = 'text=' + encodeURIComponent(hello);
3. var url = '/echo?' + param;
4. request('get', url, function (xhr) {
5. console.log(xhr.responseText); // '你好'
6. })
7. .send();

Uploading a File
55
1. <input id="file" type="file"/>
2. <script>
3. var file = document.querySelector('#file').files[0];
4. var data = new FormData();
5. var xhr = request('post', '/upload');
6. data.append('target', 'images');
7. data.append('file', file, 'sky.jpg');
8. xhr.send(data);
9. </script>

Monitoring Progress of a File Upload
56
1. var file = document.querySelector('#file').files[0];
3. var xhr = request('post', '/upload');
4. data.append('file', file);
5. xhr.upload.addEventListener('progress', function (e) {
6. if (e.lengthComputable) {
7. console.log(Math.floor(e.loaded / e.total * 100));
8. }
9. });
10. xhr.send(data);

AJAX requests
are forbidden by default
by the same-origin policy.
58

URL Outcome Reason
http://www.abc.com/about/contact.html Success Same protocol, host and port
http://www.abc.com/service/training.html Success Same protocol, host and port
https://www.abc.com/member/login.html Failure Different protocol
http://www.abc.com:8080/partners.html Failure Different port
http://abc.com/blog/tags.html Failure Different host
Same-origin Policy
59
The same-origin policy restricts how a document or script loaded from one
origin can interact with a resource from another origin.
The following table gives examples of origin comparisons to the URL
http://www.abc.com/about/index.html:
Security

Cross-Origin Resource Sharing
CORS is a system, consisting of transmitting HTTP headers, that
determines whether to block or fulfill requests for restricted resources on a
web page from another domain outside the domain from which the
resource originated.
To allow any resource to access your resource, you can specify:
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
To allow https://www.abc.com to access your resource, you can specify:
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: https://www.abc.com
60

JSON with Padding
61
JSONP is used to request data from a server residing in a different domain
than the client.
JSONP
Client
Server
<script>function fn (data) { … }</script>
<script src="https://api.su.com/users/9?callback=fn"></script>
response.setHeader('Content-type', 'text/javascript');
response.send('fn({ "id": 9, "name": "Kyle" })');

Polling
63
1. function Polling (options) {
2. this.url = options.url;
3. this.method = options.method || 'get';
4. this.callback = options.callback || (() => {});
5. this.delay = options.delay || 1000;
6. this.start();
7. }
8. Polling.prototype.start = function () {
9. setTimeout(() => {
10. request(this.method, this.url, this.callback).send();
11. this.start();
12. }, this.delay);
13. };

Checking Username Availability
64
1. var account = document.querySelector('input#account');
2. var defer = function (fn) {
3. var timer;
4. return function (e) {
5. if (timer) { clearTimeout(timer); }
6. timer = setTimeout(() => fn.call(e.target, e), 300);
7. };
8. };
9. account.addEventListener('input', defer(function (e) {
10. request('get', '/api/users/check', () => {});
11. }));

You don’t need AJAX to
download a file.
65

Downloading a File
66
1. var url = 'https://locate/to/file';
2. /* Solution 1 */
3. location.assign(url);
4.
5. /* Solution 2 */
6. window.open(url, '_blank');
7.
8. /* Solution 3 (Better) */
9. var iframe = document.createElement('iframe');
10. iframe.style.display = 'none';
11. iframe.src = url;
12. document.appendChild(iframe);

Disable action buttons while
requesting to prevent user from
re-submitting the form.
67

Disabling Submit Button When Request Is In-progress
68
1. var profile = document.querySelector('form#profile');
2. var save = document.querySelector('[type="submit"]#save');
3. profile.addEventListener('submit', function (e) {
5. request('post', 'submit', function (xhr) {
6. save.disabled = false;
7. }).send();
8. save.disabled = true;
9. });

Callback Hell
69
1. /* Suppose url1, url2, url3, and success are defined */
2. request('get', url1, function (xhr) {
5. success();
6. });
7. });
8. });

Using Named Functions
70
2. function doReq1 () {
3. request('get', url1, function () { doReq2(); });
4. }
6. request('get', url2, function () { doReq3(); });
7. }
9. request('get', url3, function () { success(); });
10. }
11. doReq1();

What’s a Promise?
72
A Promise is an object representing the eventual completion or failure of
an asynchronous operation. – MDN
Promise
Promise
.then(onFulfilled)
.catch(onRejected)
Promise …
pending
resolved
rejected
pending
return

Creating a Promise
73
1. new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
2. setTimeout(() => resolve('Success!'), 1000);
3. })
4. .then(function (message) {
5. console.log(message); // 'Success!'
6. return { message };
7. })
8. .then(function (data) {
9. console.log(data); // {message: 'Success!'}
10. })
11. .catch(function (error) {
12. console.log(error);
13. });

Chaining after a catch
74
1. new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
2. console.log('initialized');
3. resolve();
4. })
5. .then(() => {
6. throw new Error('something failed');
7. console.log('success');
8. })
9. .catch((error) => console.log('failure'))
10. .then(() => console.log('Whatever happened before'));
11. // 'initialized', 'failure', 'Whatever happened before'

Wrapping AJAX Request with Promise
75
1. function ajax (method, url, data) {
2. return new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
5. if (xhr.readyState === xhr.DONE) {
6. if (xhr.status === 200) {
7. resolve(JSON.parse(xhr.responseText));
8. } else { reject(xhr.responseText); }
9. }
10. };
11. xhr.open(method, url, true);
12. xhr.send(data);
13. });
14. }

Making a Request With the Enhanced Request Function
