Need help in understanding on how we can make Ajax request in LWC. I tried importing jquery and use $ajax function but had some issues in loading. Is there a better way ? Problem is i have more than 6mb of data to handle and render in LWC.

Thanks everyone who will share their experience and knowledge.

  • Can you add more context and be more specific? else it might get closed. – Pranay Jaiswal Feb 14 '19 at 20:48
  • I want to make a get request in lightning webcomponent js. Tried it using importing jquery and calling ajax. Is there a another standard way of doing in LWC ? – Anshul Agrawal Feb 14 '19 at 20:54

In general if you want the standard way to do this you can use XHR or Fetch.

You want to be mindful of how often you will fire the request in your component. From the sounds of it you are creating a loader for a large dataset.

  • Thanks. Already did a standard way. But looking forward to a better approach in lwc const Http = new XMLHttpRequest(); const url='abc.com?no_cache=false'; Http.setRequestHeader('Authorization', 'XXXXX'); Http.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json'); Http.open("GET", url); Http.send(); Http.onreadystatechange=(e)=>{ console.log(Http.responseText) } – Anshul Agrawal Feb 14 '19 at 23:29
  • yes, its more than 12mb that is why i want to handle in js and render it on a data visualization library – Anshul Agrawal Feb 14 '19 at 23:30

  • I am not sure that I understand the core issue you are having, you mentioned that the jQuery $ajax function had issues. What were the issues with $ajax? Was the XHR request not working as well? – Kevin Hill Feb 15 '19 at 4:59
