Pass The Same Options To A Jquery Function Over And Over

I use this jQuery Ajax-Request, which I configured for my needs: jQuery.ajax({ url: 'apiBridge.php?url=' + encodeURIComponent(url), headers: { 'Some Weird Header':

Solution 1:

Define a set of standard options:

var ajaxOpts = {
    headers:{},
    url:"someUrl",
    complete:function(){//whatever;},otheroptions:"asneeded"
};

When you make each ajax call, extend the local options object with the standard options:

$.ajax($.extend({url:"custom", success:doAThing}, ajaxOpts));

...or as @gdoron says, use ajaxSetup. I prefer $.extend because that way I'm not clobbering other $.ajax calls on the page I might not control.

Solution 2:

You can use the ajaxSetup function.

jQuery.ajaxSetup( options )
