How can I read the default ajax parameters in jQuery?

In jQuery I can set ajax default parameters with ajaxSetup like:

$.ajaxSetup({'async': false});

Is it possible to read them? So that for the example above I knew if async is currently set to false or true?

Well you can do this:

var myAjaxSetup= $.ajaxSetup({'async': false});

Then

if(myAjaxSetup.async){ // dO SOME }

But this is only for simple evaluation, if you try to do over $.ajax() call, the "async" param doesn't exist.

var someNice = $.ajax({'async': false});

console.log(someNice.async) //undefined

You can do this $.ajaxSetup()['cache'], but please don't. The use of ajaxSetup is not encouraged, this may lead to misbehavior as your application grows bigger, because each Ajax call would depend on the state of your application, which leads to unpredictability.

If you really need default options for ajax, you could try using $.extend to merge your current options with the default options returned by some method call.. maybe some object injected through requireJs maybe. At least you can debug and see which params are being passed to your request.
