bulk-get
A simple Express.js middleware for getting multiple JSON API resources in one go.
How to use
This middleware assumes that endpoints follow REST API best practices and have wrapper object:
/users
{ "users": [] }
/users/:userId
{ "user": {} }Example app
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const bulkGet = require('bulk-get');
app.set('json spaces', 4);
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.get('/', bulkGet, (req, res) => res.send('finished'));
app.get('/users', (req, res) => {
res.send({ users: [] });
});
app.get('/countries', (req, res) => {
res.send({ countries: [ { name: 'Netherlands' } ] });
});
app.use((error, req, res, next) => {
console.log('Error occured!', error);
res.sendStatus(500);
});
app.listen(3000, () => console.log('Example app listening on port 3000!'));Example request:
http://10.47.108.225:3000/?users=/users&countries=/countries
{
"users":[],
"countries": [
{ "name":"Netherlands" }
]
}
