req.xhr
A flag indicating whether the current request (req) appears to be an AJAX request (i.e. it was issued with its "X-Requested-With" header set to "XMLHttpRequest").
Usage
req.xhr;
Example
if (req.xhr) {
// Yup, it's AJAX alright.
}
Notes
- Whenever possible, you should prefer the
req.wantsJSONflag. Avoid writing custom content negotiation logic into your app, as it makes your code more brittle and verbose.
For a better experience on sailsjs.com, update your browser.
