Summary: Customize Batch API to handle DataTables
Key: FINERACT-141
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-141
Project: Apache Fineract
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Data Tables
Reporter: Terence Denzil Monteiro
Assignee: Markus Geiss
Currently Batch API can be used when multiple requests need to be made to the
backend, for example, the following workflow:
1. Create a client
2. Create a loan under the client created in 1
3. Add a charge to the loan created in 2
Most Financial Institutions require more than the basic set of client fields so
that each of these instances needs the use of datatables. For offline
applications, since currently the only way to create a client linked datatable
is by calling the datatable API itself, this is a major hurdle for such apps
because the client app needs to cache both the client data and datatables data,
connect them and when Internet connection is available, use the response from
the client POST request to generate the URL for the datatable request. Since
the batch API already handles generating a request based on the response from a
previous request, the most logical and straightforward way to deal with this
scenario would be to get the backend to support Batch APIs for datatables.
Other scenarios can be immediately thought of, for instance if we want any app
built on top of the Fineract platform to support forms where the user can enter
a combination of core and datatable fields.
