Retrieving an array in Mithril
var Ids = [139502, 92769, 57443];
forecasts.model2 = function(Ids) {
console.log(Ids);
return m.request({
method: 'GET',
url: window.location.origin + '/api/',
data: {
reportIds: Ids
}
})
}
// this will send a request like this: GET /finviews/api/v0.1/allnormalised/?reportIds=139502&reportIds=92769&reportIds=57443
// and then will be able on the server side like this:
server.get(preUrl +'/allnormalised/', function(req, res) {
// Need validation of req.query.reportIds
console.log(req.query.reportIds)
db.findAll({
where: {
ReportId: {
$in: req.query.reportIds
}
}
})
.then(function(content) {
res.json(content);
})
.catch(function(error) {
console.log('Error retrieving normalised data: ', error);
res.status(404).json(error)
});
});
// The drawback is everything is aggregated in one single array, so need to do data and recreate a tree structure
// The other idea is mapping the array and doing as many requests as elements in the array, using m.sync which is like promise all
//
var container = [];
m.sync(Ids.map(function(i) {
return m.request({
method: 'GET',
url: window.location.origin + '/api/' + i
})
})).then(container)
// container is then an array of arrays, so still need to do some work on the data afterwards but at least separated already by Ids
