Static httpPost 

pub static httpPost: HttpPostInternalType

Method for executing an HTTP POST request. If data type is not specified, p5 will try to guess based on the URL, defaulting to text. This is equivalent to calling httpDo(path, 'POST').

Examples

// Examples use jsonplaceholder.typicode.com for a Mock Data API

let url = 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts';
let postData = { userId: 1, title: 'p5 Clicked!', body: 'p5.js is way cool.' };

function setup() {
  createCanvas(800, 800);
}

function mousePressed() {
  // Pick new random color values
  let r = random(255);
  let g = random(255);
  let b = random(255);

  httpPost(url, 'json', postData, function(result) {
    strokeWeight(2);
    stroke(r, g, b);
    fill(r, g, b, 127);
    ellipse(mouseX, mouseY, 200, 200);
    text(result.body, mouseX, mouseY);
  });
}

let url = 'ttps://invalidURL'; // A bad URL that will cause errors
let postData = { title: 'p5 Clicked!', body: 'p5.js is way cool.' };

function setup() {
  createCanvas(800, 800);
}

function mousePressed() {
  // Pick new random color values
  let r = random(255);
  let g = random(255);
  let b = random(255);

  httpPost(
    url,
    'json',
    postData,
    function(result) {
      // ... won't be called
    },
    function(error) {
      strokeWeight(2);
      stroke(r, g, b);
      fill(r, g, b, 127);
      text(error.toString(), mouseX, mouseY);
    }
  );
}
