How to Promisify an Ajax/XHR Request

// Promisified XHR (ES6)
// Source: https://github.com/taniarascia/laconia/blob/master/public/js/scripts.js
const makeRequest = (method, url, data) => {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        var request = new XMLHttpRequest();

        request.open(method, url);

        request.onload = function() {
            if (this.status >= 200 && this.status < 300) {
                resolve(request.response);
            } else {
                reject({
                    status: this.status,
                    statusText: request.statusText
                });
            }
        };

        request.onerror = function() {
            reject({
                status: this.status,
                statusText: request.statusText
            });
        };

        request.send(data);
    });
};
