One-Line Ajax Requests: jQuery-ahm

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:

01.<?php
02.$response = array(
03. // $("#animate").fadeOut("slow").delay("1000").slideDown("fast")
04. "#animate/fadeOut" => "slow",
05. "#animate/delay" => "1000",
06. "#animate/slideDown" => "fast",
07.);
08.echo json_encode($response);
09.?>

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.

Free jQuery Plugin For File Download

jDownload is a jQuery plugin which aims to provide more details to the end users about the file to be downloaded.

Once a download link is clicked, it sends an Ajax query to a PHP file which returns the name, type and size of the file in a modal window.

User can choose to get the file or cancel the request which is specially a good experience for knowing the size of the file before downloading it.

The plugin requires jQuery UI besides the jQuery itself for the modal dialog and comes with various options for customization including the dimensions of the dialog, event to trigger it (click, hover, etc.), and more.

Also, based on the same idea, functionality can be improved further by adding “zipped downloads” or “send as e-mail” types of options to the end users.
