How do I execute getNext from a PagedItemCollection as part of a batch request? about pnpjs HOT 8 CLOSED

Paging is not supported as part of batching by design currently. That being said we can take a look and see what it would take to enable this. Might not be possible but I see what you are suggesting. Thanks!

Ok, I didn't understand that part then. Can you explain the use case where you would be looking to page through a collection in batches like this? I am not sure I understand the gain in doing so. If you are looking to get all the items in several lists I would recommend getAll().

from pnpjs.

Actually thinking about this more, my particular use case may not be a good example of the need to batch across multiple lists. I think the correct solution in my case is to combine into one list and just use separate content types (this is an upgrade to a legacy system which used separate lists, incorrectly imho). In that case, the current pnp batching functionality works fine and I can't really present a case for batching across multiple lists. There may be a good use case out there, in which case perhaps someone else who would want this functionality could contribute it?

In any case, I'll withdraw my request and close this. Thanks for your help @patrick-rodgers.

Hi @nero120 - I am circling back and looking at issues today. I misspoke, this will actually work as-is in the library as shown below. Meaning you can already do what you wanted :)

const b = sp.web.createBatch();

// get first set of results as part of a batch
sp.web.lists.getByTitle("BigList").items.inBatch(b).getPaged().then(result => {

    console.log(result.results.length);

    // get the second set of results from the first result instance
    result.getNext().then(result2 => {

        console.log(result2.results.length);
    });
});

b.execute();

from pnpjs.

@patrick-rodgers unfortunately you haven't answered the question as the second request is not issued as part of a batch request (i.e. the second request should be triggered by another call to b.execute()). If you were collecting results from multiple lists, your example implies that getNext for each list would need to be executed individually rather than part of a batch.

Can you please clarify and re-open if necessary?
