Send logs asynchronous (bulk logs) about tinga HOT 8 OPEN

What is the use case for this? You don't want to overwhelm the server?
It is an interesting proposition, but I'm concerned about the file size.

from tinga.

We can probably limit the number of log messages sent to fix that (and the server should also limit that).

The use case is definitely to not overwhelm the server. AFAIK, this is also the default way for services such as Sentry etc.

How about extending the Tinga class?

Sure, are you thinking it's outside of the scope of the package?

from tinga.

If you end up implementing via extending the class, let me know. If the size increase is small we could add it.
If you batch logs to the server, you may end up with lost data, since the user can close the browser.
But in the case of sendBeacon if the user closes the browser, the data will still be sent, as long as the sendBeacon method has been triggered.

I can try to open a pull request if you'd like, so we can see what it would entail.

That is a drawback, but we could use the visibilitychange event to fire a last upload.

Btw, I found this article about the Beacon API.

Despite the title being sendBeacon is dead, they are currently sampling with visibilitychange which might give some insight to revive it 🤷‍♂️

Anyway, might be off topic, and worth a separate ticket.
