I've seen that you've included the field parameter to limit the fields

Do you think it would be better to use the field parameter and show a
limited amount of data or try to get everything and only display the
fields that have a value?
You mean for details pages? I'd say display everything that has a
value. Unless I didn't understand your question.
But here's something else that just came to mind that you could do with
the fields parameter: in the search part, instead of sending a request
for the summary document, just request the details documents, but only
ask for the fields you're planning to display in the table. Once the
user wants to see the details page, you'll have to fetch the full
details for that relay or bridge. But you should be able to save quite
a few requests and make the client application even more responsive.
That's a gread idea. I just implemented it in a new branch and it works
so far.
Without any futher testing it looks like the size for a single detail
request went from ~1.9KB to ~1KB.
Hmm, when you say "single detail request", I wonder if I explained my
idea correctly. Let me try again, this time with an example:
Assume somebody searches for "gab". This currently generates the
following requests to Onionoo:
[10:32:16.950] GET
https://onionoo.torproject.org/summary?limit=50&search=gab [HTTP/1.1 304
Not Modified 141ms]
[10:32:17.108] GET
https://onionoo.torproject.org/details?lookup=A79E50FC2C7C8B19D44778C39BD3B58361AC8A56
[HTTP/1.1 304 Not Modified 140ms]
[10:32:17.110] GET
https://onionoo.torproject.org/details?lookup=B94F71EA1A0D7E904200A20C9063B085D67CCF25
[HTTP/1.1 304 Not Modified 280ms]
[10:32:17.111] GET
https://onionoo.torproject.org/details?lookup=16EF359C2FBF50FC08CF9A95717BE3060575B67E
[HTTP/1.1 304 Not Modified 417ms]
My idea was to turn these requests into a single request:
https://onionoo.torproject.org/details?limit=50&search=gab&fields=nickname,advertised_bandwidth,last_restarted,country,flags,or_addresses,dir_address,fingerprint
And once somebody wants to look at gabelmoo's details, just download the
full details document, plus bandwidth and weights for the graphs:
[10:32:17.111] GET
https://onionoo.torproject.org/details?lookup=16EF359C2FBF50FC08CF9A95717BE3060575B67E
[HTTP/1.1 304 Not Modified 417ms]
[10:36:44.356] GET
https://onionoo.torproject.org/weights?lookup=16EF359C2FBF50FC08CF9A95717BE3060575B67E
[HTTP/1.1 200 OK 686ms]
[10:36:44.357] GET
https://onionoo.torproject.org/bandwidth?lookup=16EF359C2FBF50FC08CF9A95717BE3060575B67E
