jQuery-ahm: One-Line Ajax Requests
jQuery-ahm is a tiny (~1kb) jQuery plugin which enables us to create Ajax requests with a smaller code piece.
It is actually a wrapper around the popular $.ajax method and brings a different way of handling callbacks.
Rather than creating custom callbacks for every Ajax request, jQuery-ahm lets the back-end define Ajax callbacks (handled automatically).
Here is an example where all the callback is handled on the server-side:
<?php
$response = array(
// $("#animate").fadeOut("slow").delay("1000").slideDown("fast")
"#animate/fadeOut" => "slow",
"#animate/delay" => "1000",
"#animate/slideDown" => "fast",
);
echo json_encode($response);
?>
The bad part is, you move the front-end code and functionality to the server-side. This is not a preferred method for many designers/developers and it is mostly difficult if the front and back-end developers are different persons.
And the nice part is, size of the front-end code can be decreased seriously, specially for websites with lots of Ajax interactions and you get lots of flexibility in managing the callbacks.
