Laravel Batch Requests

A Laravel package for efficiently handling multiple API requests in a single batch operation, reducing network overhead and improving performance for bulk operations.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require aef/laravel-batch-requests

Configuration

Publish the configuration file:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="LaravelBatchRequests\BatchRequestServiceProvider" --tag="config"

This will create a config/batch-requests.php file where you can modify the package settings.

Usage

use LaravelBatchRequests\Http\Controllers\BatchRequestController;

Route::post('batch', [BatchRequestController::class, 'process']);

To use the batch request functionality, send a POST request to the /api/batch endpoint with a JSON payload containing an array of requests:

{
  "requests": [
    {
      "id": "get-user",
      "method": "GET",
      "uri": "/api/users/1",
      "headers": {
        "Accept": "application/json"
      }
    },
    {
      "id": "create-post",
      "method": "POST",
      "uri": "/api/posts",
      "parameters": {
        "title": "New Post",
        "content": "This is the content of the new post."
      },
      "headers": {
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
        "Accept": "application/json"
      }
    }
  ]
}

The response will contain the results of all the batched requests, with the body returned as parsed JSON:

{
  "results": [
    {
      "id": "get-user",
      "status": 200,
      "headers": {
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
      },
      "body": {
        "id": 1,
        "name": "John Doe"
      }
    },
    {
      "id": "create-post",
      "status": 201,
      "headers": {
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
      },
      "body": {
        "id": 101,
        "title": "New Post",
        "content": "This is the content of the new post."
      }
    }
  ]
}
