Feature request: handling of collection
REST may handle collections:
For bulk POST/PUT it is crazy to call API 1000 times, better solution would be:
POST/PUT request to /api/v1/resource/ should be able to handle collection.
Current example:
curl -X PUT -k -s https://localhost:3000/api/v1/pdfs -d '[
{"id":666, "fileName":"test"},{"id:667","fileName":"test2"}]' -w "\n" -H "Content-Type: applicatio
n/json"
Current response:
<html><head><title>500 Error</title></head><body><h1>The Server Encountered and Error</h1><div></div></body></html>
Also please note is html not a json
on server:
{ [SyntaxError: Unexpected token ,]
body: '[{"id":666, "fileName":"test"},{"id:667","fileName":"test2"}]',
status: 400 }
Expected response:
[{"__v":0,"id":"666","fileName":"test","_id":"542d33abccc4b89c0c9e9972"},
{"__v":0,"id":"667","fileName":"test2","_id":"542d43abccc4b89c0c9e9973"}]
Take a look at this answer from StackOverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/a/1269228/1779688
Making algorithmic endpoints for every api endpoint is quite tedious task. With node we get callback support out of the box. Also in example we are PUT'ing 2 valid resources... not an single XML/CSV message.
Bulk update and delete are very opinionated in the way resource identifiers should be passed and how errors should be handled. Bulk create is relatively simple, but I am reluctant to implement it because it would make our API inconsistent (ie. bulk create, but not update and delete)
@Quixomatic yes, admin for example. I want to provide UI for the user to edit and save back to database. it doesn't matter what the change is. the admin-user change something in the object and I want to save as it is to db. the admin-user is special user and understand how the system works. @Zertz I think that upsert should solve this problem. if you want I can send PR for this. I use this option to get collection from the db, provide the UI to connect to collection and the admin-user change the object and save to db.
In mongoose there is option to upsert bulk data, I think this library should provide a way to support this option, and to solve the problems to achieve the goal.
What about bulk queries? I have a use case where I cannot use populate because I am joining on non _id field, so I need a list of queries to be resolved in one call rather in hundreds of calls.
I hear GraphQL

I actually came from GraphQL to this project because GraphQL is complicated for small teams and projects. I needed something simple. I want to jump back to GraphQL when the dev experience is better.
