Returning threads with initial response: embed=threads

[cesutherland]

Hi folks!

I took it for granted that withThreads requested conversations with threads, but I see now that it makes a request for conversations, and then a separate request for each conversations threads. There's a handy API option for requesting conversations together with threads: embed=threads which I saw in the docs.

Does this SDK support requesting embedded threads up front? I don't see an option for that.

Hey,

The SDK's perspective on eager loading actually predates that API functionality and we don't yet support the full initial embedding up front. Instead it makes additional API requests to ensure all the data is loaded. We're tracking requests for this and very much appreciate your feedback. We'll update this thread if we implement this eager loading in the SDK.

Thanks!

@bkuhl this is what I had in mind ­— https://github.com/helpscout/helpscout-api-php/pull/208

I tried not to make assumptions about future "embeddable" entities.

Just wanted to add that I'd love to see this added, cheers :)
