React Post

Use POST request on elements that normally just use GET

POST Link

``javascript
import { PostLink } from 'react-post'

Click Me
`

Clicking the link will POST the params to _some-url_ in a new window.

POST Iframe

`javascript
import { PostIframe } from 'react-post'


`

The url _some-url_ will be loaded into the iframe with the params sent via a POST request.

Install

`shell
npm install react-post --save
`

Or

`shell
yarn add react-post
`

Limitations

This uses forms (not ajax) under the hood to submit the data. This means the params object needs to be key/value pairs and the values will always get converted to strings.

This means if you wanted to send some JSON and you sent your params like this:

`javascript
import { post } from 'react-post';

post({
action: 'some-end-point',
params: {
count: 2,
records: [
{ foo: 'bar' },
{ foo: 'buz' },
]
}
})
`

You would not be sending a single JSON payload. You would be sending a count param with a value of "2" and a records param with the value being the JSON string of the records array "[{"foo":"bar"},{"foo":"buz"}]".

If you want to send the whole object as a single JSON string, then nest it under a name like so:

`javascript
import { post } from 'react-post';

post({
action: 'some-end-point',
params: { payload: {
count: 2,
records: [
{ foo: 'bar' },
{ foo: 'buz' },
]
} }
})
`

This will send the whole object as a JSON string under the parameter name payload`.
