ApiBatch

Welcome to ApiBatch!

ApiBatch adds a BatchController to your api that allows multiple api requests to be sent to your api within a single http request saving round trips to the server.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'api_batch'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install api_batch

Usage

Once the gem has been installed a controller will have been added to the following route:

/batch

batch requests are sent to the server through a query string parameter array:

paths[]=........

Example:

http://[host]/batch?paths[]=/countries/id/1&paths[]=/countrygroups/id/2

The above batch request would send 2 requests to the server for processing:

• /countries/id/1
• /countrygroups/id/2

These 2 request will be passed to the appropriate controllers and processed on the server as if they had bee sent as individual requests. The response from the batch request will return an array of the responses from each request specified in the paths[] array parameter in the order they were specified in the request.

Example: [to /countries/id/1, to /countrygroups/id/2]
