If you need to batch up lots of related queries, you can just build it into your API, or use LoopBack to do it for you
I've been using LoopBack for my REST api: http://docs.strongloop.com/display/LB/Querying+models#Queryingmodels-RESTsyntax It might be too late in your app's lifecycle to integrate, but it makes a lot of things so much easier...you basically get a query language in your REST API for free. For the example of loading everyone's conversations, you could do something like this... User.find({include: {'conversations': 'posts'}}) Assuming your model relations are set up appropriately, the loopback handler will fetch all the users, and for each one, fetch and attach a list of all the conversations they are part of...and for each of those, attach a list of all posts in that conversation, then it returns a json list of your users with all the nested info with a single http call. Or you might want just the conversations for one user: User.find({where: {id: SOMEUSERID}, include: {conversations: 'posts'}}) It doesn't reduce the load on your db or anything, just batches up a bunch of related queries into a single network transaction. Pretty cool, I think. Loopback also has a utility to generate an AngularJS service implementing all your models as $resources, so you can use the syntax I used above. Otherwise, you have to translate the json-style queries into something like: GET /api/users?filter[where][id]=SOMEUSERID&filter[include][conversations]=posts Of course, this doesn't help when you just want to batch up a bunch of random unrelated requests... :-/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AngularJS" group.
