AP.require() usage and deprecation

Hi all,

I have 2 questions around AP.require() I currently use to make some request to cloud JIRA from an add-on:

  • it’s marked as “deprecated” in browser console, what to use instead?

  • how to trigger a function when the (asynchronous) call is performed, but not from inside the success/error blocks?

Thanks a lot, Fred

Atlassian has provided a migration guide here: https://developer.atlassian.com/static/connect/docs/latest/tutorials/migrating-from-acjs-v3-to-v5.html

Basically

AP.require(['request', 'dialog'], function (request, dialog) {
    request({
...
   });
});

became:

AP.request({
   ...
});

Thanks Daniel for pointing the migration page.

One last question: which code pattern to use to trigger a function when the call is finished? Should I invoke the function to trigger from the success {} block, or should I use something else like JS promise? I am wondering what’s the best code pattern for this simple thing…

Thanks again,

Fred

Keep it simple, I reckon. Something like this:

AP.request({
    url: url,
    type: 'GET',
    success: function(text) {
        doSuccesStuff();
    },
    error: function(xhr, statusText) {
        doFailureStuff();
    }
});
