Is it possible to chain requests? #159

Closed vin-ni closed 2 years ago

vin-ni commented 2 years ago

Is it possible to combine requests? I've read in the wiki api that it's recommended to combine queries as much as possible to save on requests.

Something like this for example: wiki.page('batman').then(page => page.chainedRequest(['content', 'coordinates', 'summary'])).then(console.log);

Thank you!

Not yet, but that is a great idea. Can you provide any raw wikipedia api examples?

I combined some things in the Sandbox:

Direct query: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&format=json&prop=extracts%7Cinfo&meta=&pageids=4335&exintro=1&explaintext=1&exsectionformat=wiki

Thanks. I will take a look soon.

v6.3.0 is out with my initial release of chaining.

I am sure there are some use cases I missed, but I wanted to get it out there for people to try out.
