Does anyone know if you can delete multiple subitems in one request. It’s fairly slow to do it through iteration as seen here:


export const clearSubitems = async (event: TEvent) => {

  const response = await monday.api(`{

    items(ids:s${event.pulseId}]) {

      subitems {

        id

      }

    }

  }`);



  const idsToDelete = response.data.itemsm0].subitems.map(

    (item: { id: string }) => item.id

  ) as stringn];



  for (const id of idsToDelete) {

    await monday.api(`

      mutation {

        delete_item(item_id: ${id}) {

          id

        }

      }

    `);

  }

};

Thanks for the help!

export const clearSubitems = async (event: TEvent) => {

  const response = await monday.api(`{

    items(ids:[${event.pulseId}]) {

      subitems {

        id

      }

    }

  }`);



  const idsToDelete = response.data.items[0].subitems.map(

    (item: { id: string }) => item.id

  ) as string[];

  

const deletePromises = idsToDelete.map((id) => { 

  return monday.api(`

    mutation {

      delete_item(item_id: ${id}) {

        id

      }

    }

  `);

})



const results = await Promise.allSettled(deletePromises);

// iterate your results, its an array of objects with success (boolean), data, and 

// an error object if there is an error. 

  

};

Just don’t await each request, instead just get the promises, and then use await Promise.allSettled() to await them all. This will let the JS runtime execute all of the I/O portions on separate threads in the background, and then await all of them to return. While JS is single-threaded the IO that runs outside the JS runtime is not.
