Thanks for the request @ln-ws, I agree with this addition it's something we already do in the UI (list books with cover images). I'm going to update this to also mention shelves since it's the same scenario there. I've assigned this for the next feature release.
Describe the feature you'd like
When making a
READ
request to the/books/{id}
endpoint, the response includes a cover object containing the cover image data for the specified book. However, when making aLIST
request to the/books
endpoint, the response does not include this cover object.Including the cover object in the
LIST
response would allow users to retrieve cover image data for all books in a single request, rather than needing to make separate requests for each book's cover image. This enhancement would reduce the overhead of fetching cover images and improve the efficiency of implementing book search functionalities.Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users
Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?
Yes, it is currently possible to achieve this by making individual requests for each book's cover image. However, this method increases the number of API calls and associated overhead.
