Batch save

Create several records from one request.

Lexicon type: procedure

local json = require("internal.json")
local record = require("happyview.record")

function handle(input, ctx)
  local uris = {}
  for _, item in ipairs(input.items) do
    local ref = record.create(ctx.collection, item)
    uris[#uris + 1] = ref.uri
  end
  return { uris = json.to_array(uris) }
end

How it works

1. Iterate over input.items and create each one with record.create on happyview.record.
2. Collect the resulting AT URIs and return them. json.to_array keeps uris a JSON array when items is empty.

Writes happen one at a time, in order. If one fails, the records before it exist and the ones after it don’t, and the error reaches the client as an error response (usually a 500; a 401 when the caller has no PDS session); wrap record.create in pcall to report partial progress instead.

Usage

The DPoP proof is signed per request; an app built on the HappyView SDK gets this from its session.

TypeScript

const response = await fetch("http://127.0.0.1:3000/xrpc/xyz.statusphere.batchCreate", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "X-Client-Key": CLIENT_KEY,
    Authorization: `DPoP ${ACCESS_TOKEN}`,
    DPoP: DPOP_PROOF,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    items: [
      { text: "First", createdAt: "2025-01-01T00:00:00Z" },
      { text: "Second", createdAt: "2025-01-01T00:01:00Z" },
    ],
  }),
});
const data = await response.json();

Rust

let response = client
    .post("http://127.0.0.1:3000/xrpc/xyz.statusphere.batchCreate")
    .header("X-Client-Key", client_key)
    .header("Authorization", format!("DPoP {access_token}"))
    .header("DPoP", dpop_proof)
    .json(&serde_json::json!({
        "items": [
            { "text": "First", "createdAt": "2025-01-01T00:00:00Z" },
            { "text": "Second", "createdAt": "2025-01-01T00:01:00Z" }
        ]
    }))
    .send()
    .await?;

Go

body := `{

    { "text": "Second", "createdAt": "2025-01-01T00:01:00Z" }
  ]
}`
req, _ := http.NewRequest("POST", "http://127.0.0.1:3000/xrpc/xyz.statusphere.batchCreate", bytes.NewBufferString(body))
req.Header.Set("X-Client-Key", clientKey)
req.Header.Set("Authorization", "DPoP "+accessToken)
req.Header.Set("DPoP", dpopProof)

resp, err := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)

cURL

curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:3000/xrpc/xyz.statusphere.batchCreate \
  -H "X-Client-Key: $CLIENT_KEY" \
  -H "Authorization: DPoP $ACCESS_TOKEN" \
  -H "DPoP: $DPOP_PROOF" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "items": [
      { "text": "First", "createdAt": "2025-01-01T00:00:00Z" },
      { "text": "Second", "createdAt": "2025-01-01T00:01:00Z" }
    ]
  }'

Use case

Batch saving is useful when a single user action should create multiple records (e.g. importing data, multi-step forms).
