Is bulk update possible?

@brendon is it possible to bulk update a certain list?

Given we have a frontend that supports drag-and-drop sorting, we want to push the new state to the server in one request.

Hi @davycardinaal, that's covered in the readme. Rather than supplying a large list of updates, just tell positioning what item the selected item is before or after. In my experience before works better. The syntax is position: { before: 5 } to positioning before the item with the id of 5. You can then just send each reorder operation in turn as it occurs.

If that's not possible then you'd need to just do a bulk set of update_alls to avoid all the callbacks.
