How to make $.get() function synchronous in jQuery?

Question

I want to make $.get() method synchronous in my function. In ajax aysnc : false helps me, now how do i do the same to to $.get()

var ifsc_code = $('#ifsc-code').val();
var api_url = 'http://api.techm.co.in/api/v1/ifsc/'+ifsc_code;
$.get(api_url, function(data, status){
//console.log(data.status);

var status = data.status;


  if (data.status == "success") {

      $.each(data,function(key,value){
       var address = value.BANK+", " + value.BRANCH+", " + value.ADDRESS ;
        $('.bank-details').removeClass('no-ifsc').text(address);
        });
        var res = "true";
        alert('inside checkIfsc true');
        return res;
        }

        else if (data.status == "failure") {
         $('.bank-details').addClass('no-ifsc').text(data.message);
         var res = "false";
         alert('inside checkIfsc false');
         return res;
        }  

Or is there any other approach to do the same ?

Answer 1

$.get also accepts parameter like this

$.get({
  url: url,// mandatory
  data: data,
  success: success,
  dataType: dataType,
  async:false // to make it synchronous
});

Answer 2

Although already answered:

$.ajax({
  method: 'GET',
  async: false
});

I want to warn of you the following:

• Blocks javascript execution, and might thus lock the webpage (no buttons working etc etc, it looks like your page hangs during the ajax call)
• Using synchronous calls gives console warnings.

Javascript is build based on event-driven design. you could also fire an custom named event (with the data result in the event data) when the ajax/get call is complete and let the followup action listen to this event.

eg:

$(form).on('submit',function(){
   var formEl = this;
   $.get({...}).success(function(data){
     var event = new Event('data-submitted');
     event.data = data; 
     formEl.dispatchEvent(event);
   })
});
$(form).on('data-submitted',function(event){
  var data = event.data;
  // you can handle the post ajax request event here.
});
