requestCrossOrigin static method Null safety

Future<String> requestCrossOrigin(
  1. String url,
  2. {String? method,
  3. String? sendData}
)

Makes a cross-origin request to the specified URL.

This API provides a subset of request which works on IE9. If IE9 cross-origin support is not required then request should be used instead.

Implementation

static Future<String> requestCrossOrigin(String url,
    {String? method, String? sendData}) {
  if (supportsCrossOrigin) {
    return request(url, method: method, sendData: sendData).then((xhr) {
      return xhr.responseText!;
    });
  }
  var completer = new Completer<String>();
  if (method == null) {
    method = 'GET';
  }
  var xhr = JS('var', 'new XDomainRequest()');
  JS('', '#.open(#, #)', xhr, method, url);
  JS(
      '',
      '#.onload = #',
      xhr,
      convertDartClosureToJS((e) {
        var response = JS('String', '#.responseText', xhr);
        completer.complete(response as FutureOr<String>?);
      }, 1));
  JS(
      '',
      '#.onerror = #',
      xhr,
      convertDartClosureToJS((e) {
        completer.completeError(e);
      }, 1));
