Async false for shorthand AJAX get request

Question

I am using the following ajax get function to check the status of a user. Is it possible to set async: false with this shorthand method? If not how can this be

Answer 1

Use jQuery.ajaxSetup({async:false}); because $.get() is Jquery shorthand method with syntax jQuery.get( url [, data ] [, success ] [, dataType ] ) and to make changes to setting there is jQuery.get( [settings ] )

Answer 2

This might work for you

$.ajax({
    url : "/submit/checkuser/",
    type : "get",
    async: false,
    success : function(userStatus) {
       if (userStatus == 'Disabled') { // check if user if disabled                    
       } else if (userStatus == 'Deleted') { // check if user if deleted
       } else {
       };
    },
    error: function() {
       connectionError();
    }
 });

Answer 3

The only way to make a synchronous $.get call is to set ajaxSetup to synchronous:

jQuery.ajaxSetup({async:false});

This is considered bad form though, since it affects every ajax call made by JQuery on the page. I would suggest just biting the bullet and using the more elaborate jQuery.ajax syntax.

See How can I get jQuery to perform a synchronous, rather than asynchronous, Ajax request? for a fuller discussion.

Answer 4

From above though, I use it like this

jQuery.ajaxSetup({async:false});

  // my code 

jQuery.ajaxSetup({async:true});

Answer 5

Try this.

$.get('/your/url/dot/com', { async: false }, function(data){
    globalBaseURL = data;
});
