Parallel Ajax Calls in Javascript/jQuery

Question

I am completely new to Javascript/jquery world and need some help. Right now, I am writing one html page where I have to make 5 different Ajax calls to get the data to plot grap

Answer 1

The following worked for me - I had multiple ajax calls with the need to pass a serialised object:

    var args1 = {
        "table": "users",
        "order": " ORDER BY id DESC ",
        "local_domain":""
    }
    var args2 = {
        "table": "parts",
        "order": " ORDER BY date DESC ",
        "local_domain":""
    }

    $.when(
        $.ajax({
                url: args1.local_domain + '/my/restful',
                headers: {
                    'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
                },
                type: "POST",
                dataType : "json",
                contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
                data : JSON.stringify(args1),
                error: function(err1) {
                    alert('(Call 1)An error just happened...' + JSON.stringify(err1));
                }
            }),
        $.ajax({
            url: args2.local_domain + '/my/restful',
            headers: {
                'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
            },
            type: "POST",
            dataType : "json",
            contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
            data : JSON.stringify(args2),
            error: function(err2) {
                calert('(Call 2)An error just happened...' + JSON.stringify(err2));
            }
        })                     

    ).then(function( data1, data2 ) {
        data1 = cleanDataString(data1);
        data2 = cleanDataString(data2);

        data1.forEach(function(e){
            console.log("ids" + e.id)
        });
        data2.forEach(function(e){
            console.log("dates" + e.date)
        });

    })

    function cleanDataString(data){
            data = decodeURIComponent(data);
            // next if statement was only used because I got additional object on the back of my JSON object
            // parsed it out while serialised and then added back closing 2 brackets
            if(data !== undefined && data.toString().includes('}],success,')){ 
                temp = data.toString().split('}],success,');
                data = temp[0] + '}]';
            }
            data = JSON.parse(data);
            return data;                    // return parsed object
      }
