POST JSON Without Waiting for the Response

See more REST Examples

This example demonstrates sending a POST w/ content-type "application/json" where the body of the POST contains a JSON document. The POST is sent, but we don't wait for the response. React Native

import { Rest, StringBuilder } from '@chilkat/react-native'

async function chilkatExample() {
  // This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
  // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

  const rest = new Rest();

  // Connect to the server using TLS
  const bAutoReconnect = false;
  try {
    await rest.connectAsync('example.com', 443, true, bAutoReconnect);
  } catch {
    console.log(rest.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  // Create some sample JSON to be sent in the body of the request.
  const sbJson = new StringBuilder();
  sbJson.append('{"create": [{"name": "Woo Single #1","type": "simple","regular_price": "21.99"}]}');

  // Add the Content-Type HTTP request header.
  rest.addHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');

  // Just send the request.  Don't read the response.
  // The request is sent to https://example.com/something?arg1=xyz&arg2=abc
  const somePath = '/something?arg1=xyz&arg2=abc';
  try {
    await rest.sendReqSbAsync('POST', somePath, sbJson);
  } catch {
    console.log(rest.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  // OK, the request was sent.
  // Close the connection.
  const maxWaitMs = 50;
  await rest.disconnectAsync(maxWaitMs);

  console.log('JSON POST Sent.');
