Dynamic AJAX requests (N number of requests)

Having used C3 for many client projects using backend server side services I thought this was just another trivial project, turns out not.

Basically, the start of the layout first requests a number from the server, this number could be anything but likely to be anywhere from 1 to 20 (it also returns this many ID's). The number/count and ID's are stored and then used to do the number of AJAX requests on a regular basis (5 seconds), each request is to get data based on the ID's

The problem to solve is, how can I do multiple ajax requests (which varies at runtime) and then track each return?

I cant hardcode each "on complete" because there might be more or less than what is hardcoded.

Any ideas?

Use the ajax.tag expression with the on any completed trigger to identify the tag/id of the request it was sent in response from.

Without checking, are you suggesting that i can set the request tags dynamically, then use the on any complete and retrieve the tag using Ajax.tag?

That could work if that’s what you’re suggesting.

Correct. I'm assuming you'll be using your IDs as the tag, as they are already unique and supposed to be associated with the data requested.

Yes I will, the returned data doesn’t contain the ID but that shouldn’t matter, as long as I can track the result of each request.

Will give it a go.

Thanks

Worked a treat, many thanks!
