How to prevent multiple request in jQuery ajax

How to prevent multiple request in jQuery ajax

To prevent multiple requests in jQuery Ajax, you can use a combination of flags and logic to check whether an Ajax request is already in progress before initiating a new one. One common approach is to use a boolean variable as a flag to track the state of the ongoing request.

Here's an example:

<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <title>Prevent Multiple Ajax Requests</title> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.4.min.js"></script> </head> <body> <!-- Your HTML content --> <script> $(document).ready(function () { // Flag to track whether an Ajax request is in progress var isRequestInProgress = false; // Your Ajax request function function makeAjaxRequest() { if (!isRequestInProgress) { isRequestInProgress = true; $.ajax({ url: 'your-api-endpoint', method: 'GET', success: function (data) { console.log('Ajax request successful', data); }, error: function (error) { console.error('Ajax request failed', error); }, complete: function () { // Set the flag to false when the request is complete isRequestInProgress = false; } }); } else { console.log('Another request is already in progress.'); } } // Example: Trigger the Ajax request on button click $('#yourButton').on('click', function () { makeAjaxRequest(); }); }); </script> </body> </html>

In this example:

  • The isRequestInProgress variable is used as a flag to track whether an Ajax request is currently in progress.

  • The makeAjaxRequest function checks the flag before making an Ajax request. If a request is already in progress, it logs a message to the console, indicating that another request is ongoing.

  • The complete callback of the Ajax request is used to set the flag back to false when the request is complete.

  • Adjust the url, method, and other options in the Ajax request based on your specific requirements.

This approach ensures that only one Ajax request is allowed at a time, preventing multiple requests from being initiated simultaneously.

Examples

  1. Using a Flag to Check Request Status

    let isRequestPending = false; function makeAjaxRequest() { if (isRequestPending) { return; } isRequestPending = true; $.ajax({ // Ajax configuration options url: 'your-api-endpoint', method: 'GET', success: function(data) { // Handle success }, error: function(error) { // Handle error }, complete: function() { isRequestPending = false; } }); }

    Description: Uses a boolean flag (isRequestPending) to check whether a request is already in progress before making a new one. Resets the flag in the complete callback.

  2. Using jQuery's .one() for a Single Request

    function makeAjaxRequest() { $.ajax({ // Ajax configuration options url: 'your-api-endpoint', method: 'GET', success: function(data) { // Handle success }, error: function(error) { // Handle error } }).one('done', function() { // Additional cleanup or callback }); }

    Description: Uses jQuery's .one() method to ensure that the Ajax request is executed only once.

  3. Abort Previous Request with .abort()

    let xhr; function makeAjaxRequest() { if (xhr) { xhr.abort(); } xhr = $.ajax({ // Ajax configuration options url: 'your-api-endpoint', method: 'GET', success: function(data) { // Handle success }, error: function(error) { // Handle error }, complete: function() { xhr = null; } }); }

    Description: Aborts the previous Ajax request using the .abort() method if one is in progress.

  4. Using a Debounce Function

    let debouncedAjaxRequest = $.debounce(500, makeAjaxRequest); // Call debouncedAjaxRequest() instead of makeAjaxRequest()

    Description: Uses a debounce function (e.g., from the jQuery Debounce plugin) to limit the frequency of Ajax requests. Adjust the debounce time as needed.

  5. Throttle Requests with .throttle()

    let throttledAjaxRequest = $.throttle(1000, makeAjaxRequest); // Call throttledAjaxRequest() instead of makeAjaxRequest()

    Description: Uses a throttle function (e.g., from the jQuery Throttle / Debounce plugin) to control the rate of Ajax requests. Adjust the throttle time as needed.

  6. Using a Mutex Lock

    let ajaxMutex = false; function makeAjaxRequest() { if (ajaxMutex) { return; } ajaxMutex = true; $.ajax({ // Ajax configuration options url: 'your-api-endpoint', method: 'GET', success: function(data) { // Handle success }, error: function(error) { // Handle error }, complete: function() { ajaxMutex = false; } }); }

    Description: Uses a mutex (mutual exclusion) lock (ajaxMutex) to prevent concurrent Ajax requests. Releases the lock in the complete callback.

  7. Using Promise to Track Request Status

    let ajaxPromise = null; function makeAjaxRequest() { if (ajaxPromise) { return ajaxPromise; } ajaxPromise = $.ajax({ // Ajax configuration options url: 'your-api-endpoint', method: 'GET' }); ajaxPromise.always(function() { ajaxPromise = null; }); return ajaxPromise; }

    Description: Uses a Promise (ajaxPromise) to track the status of the Ajax request and prevent multiple concurrent requests.

  8. Queue Requests with .queue()

    let ajaxQueue = $({}); function makeAjaxRequest() { ajaxQueue.queue(function(next) { $.ajax({ // Ajax configuration options url: 'your-api-endpoint', method: 'GET', complete: function() { next(); } }); }); }

    Description: Uses jQuery's .queue() to create a queue of Ajax requests, ensuring that they are executed one after the other.

  9. Use a Global Variable as a Request Flag

    let isGlobalRequestPending = false; function makeAjaxRequest() { if (isGlobalRequestPending) { return; } isGlobalRequestPending = true; $.ajax({ // Ajax configuration options url: 'your-api-endpoint', method: 'GET', complete: function() { isGlobalRequestPending = false; } }); }

    Description: Uses a global variable (isGlobalRequestPending) as a flag to track whether any Ajax request is currently in progress.

  10. Implementing a Rate Limiter

    function RateLimiter(limit, callback) { let inProgress = 0; function execute() { if (inProgress < limit) { inProgress++; callback().then(() => { inProgress--; execute(); }); } } this.execute = execute; } // Usage const limiter = new RateLimiter(1, makeAjaxRequest); limiter.execute();
