Details

Callback

The callback function receives 3 parameters:

text - the full text of the response from the server
data - the object with methods for getting data as plain text, JSON, and XML
xhr - an xmlHttpRequest-object

Return value

The method returns a promise object than contains the eventual result of the AJAX request. A promise can be used instead of callbacks. The function inside the then() of a promise receives the result parameter - the object that has the following methods:

json() - return the result parsed as JSON
xml() - return the result parsed as XML
rawxml() - return the raw XML data
text() - return the plain text of the result

webix.ajax().post('data.php', { filter : '123' }).then(function(result){
    console.log(result.json());
}).fail(function(xhr){
    var response = JSON.parse(xhr.response);
    webix.message({type: 'error', text: response.error.message});
});
