XHook

Easily intercept and modify XHR ("AJAX") request and response

With XHook, you could easily implement functionality to:

Cache requests in memory, localStorage, etc.
Insert authentication headers
- S3 Request Signing, see S3 Hook
Simulate responses
- Create fake transparent backends for testing purposes
Sending Error statistics to Google Analytics
Create a client-side alternative to CORS by offloading requests to an iframe then splicing the response back in, see XDomain
Devious practical jokes
Supports RequiresJS and Browserify
Preflight GZip compression, see XZip (Incomplete)

Features

Intercept and modify XMLHttpRequest ("AJAX") request and response
Simulate responses transparently
Backwards compatible addEventListener removeEventListener
Backwards compatible user controlled progress (download/upload) events

Browser Support

Support Modern Browser.

Usage

⚠️ It's important to include XHook first as other libraries may store a reference to XMLHttpRequest before XHook can patch it

Using script link to load xhook and use it, like so:

<script src="//unpkg.com/xhook@latest/dist/xhook.min.js"></script>
<script>
  xhook.after(function (request, response) {
    if (request.url.match(/example\.txt$/))
      response.text = response.text.replace(/[aeiou]/g, "z");
  });
</script>

Development xhook.js
Production xhook.min.js
CDN (Use latest or lock to one of the available versions)

We can also install xhook via npm.

npm install xhook

Then use ESM syntax to load xhook.

import xhook from "xhook";
//modify 'responseText' of 'example2.txt'
xhook.after(function (request, response) {
  if (request.url.match(/example\.txt$/))
    response.text = response.text.replace(/[aeiou]/g, "z");
});

API

`xhook.before(handler(request[, callback])[, index])`

Modifying any property of the request object will modify the underlying XHR before it is sent.

To make the handler is asynchronous, just include the optional callback function, which accepts an optional response object.

To provide a fake response, return or callback() a response object.

`xhook.after(handler(request, response[, callback]) [, index])`

Modifying any property of the response object will modify the underlying XHR before it is received.

To make the handler is asynchronous, just include the optional callback function.

`xhook.enable()`

Enables XHook (swaps out the native XMLHttpRequest class). XHook is enabled be default.

`xhook.disable()`

Disables XHook (swaps the native XMLHttpRequest class back in)

`request` Object

method (String) (open(method,url))
url (String) (open(method,url))
body (String) (send(body))
headers (Object) (Contains Name-Value pairs set with setRequestHeader(name,value))
timeout (Number) (timeout)
type (String) (responseType)
withCredentials (String) (withCredentials)

`response` Object

status (Number) Required when for fake responses (status)
statusText (String) (statusText)
text (String) (responseText)
headers (Object) (Contains Name-Value pairs retrieved with getAllResponseHeaders())
xml (XML) (responseXML)
data (Varies) (response)

Overview

The dark red before hook is returning a response object, which will trigger the after hooks, then trigger the appropriate events, so it appears as if response came from the server.

Issues

XHook does not attempt to resolve any browser compatibility issues. Libraries like jQuery and https://github.com/ilinsky/xmlhttprequest will attempt to do this. XHook simply proxies to and from XMLHttpRequest, so you may use any library conjunction with XHook, just make sure to load XHook first.
You may use synchronous XHR, though this will cause asynchronous hooks to be skipped.

See CONTRIBUTING for instructions on how to build and run XHook locally.

	convertHeaders = xhook.headers = (h, dest = {}) ->
	switch typeof h
	when "object"
	headers = []
	for k,v of h
	headers.push "#{k}:\t#{v}"
	return headers.join '\n'
	when "string"
	headers = h.split '\n'
	for header in headers
	if /([^:]+):\s*(.+)/.test(header)
	dest[RegExp.$1] = RegExp.$2 if not dest[RegExp.$1]
	return dest
	return
