# Service Calls

WireBootstrap contains functions to make calls to data services using [jQuery's Ajax](https://api.jquery.com/jquery.ajax) method.

## Get

Use the asynchronous `get` function to get data from a data service using the HTTP GET method.

```javascript
const data = await wire.get("https://data-service");
```

## GetWait

Use the synchronous `getWait` method to get data from a data service using the HTTP GET method.  Note, this is a synchronous call and will hold up the processing thread on that line of code until the response comes back.

```javascript
const data = wire.getWait("https://data-service");
```

## Post

Use the asynchronous `post` function to send data to a data service using the HTTP POST method.  Use the second parameter to send the post payload.

```javascript
const data  = { UserName: "camici", FullName: "Chris Amici" };

await wire.post("https://data-service", data);
```

## PostWait

Use the synchronous `postWait` function to send data to a data service using the HTTP POST method.  Use the second parameter to send the post payload.  Note, this is a synchronous call and will hold up the processing thread on that line of code until the response comes back.

```javascript
const data  = { UserName: "camici", FullName: "Chris Amici" };

wire.postWait("https://data-service", data);
```
