在AJAX调用中编辑URL

Question

I am trying to edit a URL , that i sent in AJAX call.

function saveEdit() {
  // logic for updating an existing item
                $.ajax({
                url: "https://localhost/api/1/databases/geolocation/collections/boom/"+globalData._id.$oid+"?apiKey=veTqID_gkb74tG-yL4MGcS1p2RRBP1Pf",
                type: "PUT",
                data: JSON.stringify({  Item:Item.value , Location: Location.value , Category: Category.value , Description : Description.value , Quantity: Quantity.value}),
                contentType: "application/json"
            });

In the above code i want to replace "localhost" from an IP , when the website is UP. I will read the IP from a config file.

Tried concatenating strings , did not work. Any suggestions?

Expected is :

https://x.x.x.x/api/1/databases/geolocation/collections/boom/

Try this:

function saveEdit() {
    var useLocalHost = false; // flag to taest if you want to do the replace or use the localhost parameter
    var localhostUrl = "https://localhost/api/1/databases/geolocation/collections/boom/"+globalData._id.$oid+"?apiKey=veTqID_gkb74tG-yL4MGcS1p2RRBP1Pf";
    var url = useLocalHost ? localhostUrl : localhostUrl.replace("localhost","x.x.x.x");

    // logic for updating an existing item
    $.ajax({
        url: url,
        type: "PUT",
        data: JSON.stringify({  Item:Item.value , Location: Location.value , Category: Category.value , Description : Description.value , Quantity: Quantity.value}),
        contentType: "application/json"
    });
}
