Zepto's $.post does not have error handler

I'm using Zepto in my application as an alternate to jQuery and I was working on a task when I realized, $.ajax have a error handler, but other methods like $.post, $.get does not have it.

What can be the reason for this?

Function Signature

$.post(url, [data], function(data, status, xhr){ ... }, [dataType])

$.get(url, [data], [function(data, status, xhr){ ... }], [dataType])

References

1. $.ajax
2. $.post
3. $.get

According to your question about $.get and $.post. Yes, source code on github answered that there is no error handlers for this methods, but you can add common error handler in $.ajaxSettings

But instead of $.ajax with callbacks better use Zepto deferred API. You must include it manually.

It provides $.Deferred promises API. Depends on the "callbacks" module. When included, $.ajax() supports a promise interface for chaining callbacks.

With deferred you can catch error in deferred/promise chains:

$.post(/*any options*/).done(/*success handler*/).fail(/*error handler*/)

or

$.post().then(function() {
   // success code here
}, function() {
   // error code here
});
