Overview

Response class for lists of multiple items.

This expects responses to be in a common format, with the list of results contained under the ‘results` key. The response may also have previous and subsequent pages, indicated by entries in the response’s ‘Link` header.

Constructor Details

#initialize(response, api_client, options = {}) ⇒ ListResponse

The ListResponse is instantiated with a reference back to the API client, so it can make requests for the subsequent pages

def next_page
  # This shouldn't be a performance problem, since the cache will generally
  # avoid us making multiple requests for the same page, but we shouldn't
  # allow the data to change once it's already been loaded, so long as we
  # retain a reference to any one page in the sequence
  @next_page ||= if has_next_page?
                   @api_client.get_list page_link("next").href

#with_subsequent_pagesObject

Transparently get all results across all pages. Compare this with #each or #results which only iterate over the current page.

Example:

list_response.with_subsequent_pages.each do |result|
  ...
end

or:

list_response.with_subsequent_pages.count

Pages of results are fetched on demand. When iterating, that means fetching pages as results from the current page are exhausted. If you invoke a method such as #count, this method will fetch all pages at that point. Note that the responses are stored so subsequent pages will not be loaded multiple times.
