I am working on an app that will submit data to a REST API and have some questions.
How does jQuery know if my post request was successful or not? Is it only looking at the HTTP status?
Is there a convention on what to return from a POST request to a REST API?
JavaScript
$.post( '/API/removeUser', { Eid: id }, function(data) { row.remove(); } );
PHP SLIM Framework
$app->POST('/API/removeUser', function () use ($app) {
// Get the ID from the jQuery post
$Eid = trim(stripslashes(htmlspecialchars($_POST['Eid'])));
echo json_encode(removeFunction($Eid));
});
</div>
