Summary

Fixes #10155. (Re-opens #10159, which was auto-closed when the source fork was recreated — same branch, same change.)

getNodeAjaxOptions() in web/pgadmin/browser/static/js/node_ajax.js — the shared helper behind every AJAX-backed dropdown — cached responses only after they resolved. So when many components requested the same URL before the first response landed (e.g. every column row's Data Type dropdown mounting at once on a wide table's Columns tab), each one saw an empty cache and fired its own identical GET. A 150-column table produced ~150 concurrent duplicate get_types requests.

Fix

Added in-flight request sharing:

  • A module-level Map tracks requests currently in progress, keyed by the resolved full URL + query params.
  • On a cache miss, a caller reuses an existing in-flight request if one matches; otherwise it starts one and stores it.
  • The first request to resolve populates the cache exactly as before.
  • The map entry is removed on settle (.finally()), success or failure, so it doesn't leak.

Result: one shared get_types request for all concurrent callers instead of one per row. Cached behavior and response-shape handling are unchanged.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Performance Improvements

    • Concurrent identical data requests are combined, reducing duplicate network traffic.
    • Shared requests consistently account for request parameters and headers.
  • Reliability

    • Completed or failed requests are cleared so future requests continue normally.
    • Existing response processing, caching, transformations, and error handling remain supported.

getNodeAjaxOptions cached responses only after they resolved, so concurrent
callers for the same URL (e.g. every column row's Data Type dropdown mounting
at once) all saw an empty cache and each fired its own identical HTTP GET.

Track in-flight requests in a module-level Map keyed by the resolved URL and
query params. Concurrent callers now await the same underlying request; the
first to resolve populates the cache as before, and the entry is cleaned up on
settle so the map does not leak.

Fixes pgadmin-org#10155

Address review feedback on the getNodeAjaxOptions dedup:

- Move the in-flight request sharing out of node_ajax.js and into
  api_instance.js as a reusable getInflight() helper, so any part of
  the app can dedupe identical concurrent GETs, not just node options.
- Build the in-flight key with a stable, key-order-independent
  stringify (sorted keys, recursive) so {a:1,b:2} and {b:2,a:1} and
  nested params resolve to the same key.
- Run caching and transform per-caller in each caller's own .then on
  the shared response, so concurrent callers with differing params
  each cache correctly instead of inheriting the first caller's.

…sions

Address CodeRabbit review on pgadmin-org#10159. getInflight is exported, so key
building should be safe regardless of caller, even though the sole caller
today (getNodeAjaxOptions) can't trigger these cases:

- Include config.headers in the key so callers differing only in headers
  (e.g. a different Authorization) never share an in-flight response.
- Type-tag primitives in stableStringify so values with the same JSON form
  but different types no longer collide (number 1 vs string "1"), and handle
  undefined so [undefined] no longer collapses to [].

Insertion-order independence and the undefined-params default are unchanged.

Walkthrough

The API module now deduplicates concurrent GET requests with deterministic keys. getNodeAjaxOptions uses the shared request mechanism while preserving response processing, caching, transformation, and error handling.

Changes

In-flight GET deduplication

Layer / File(s) Summary
Request keying and promise sharing
web/pgadmin/static/js/api_instance.js, web/regression/javascript/api_instance.spec.js
The API module filters shareable options, canonicalizes parameters, includes headers in request keys, shares matching promises, and clears entries after success or failure. Regression tests cover sharing, isolation, settlement, and retry behavior.
Node AJAX integration
web/pgadmin/browser/static/js/node_ajax.js
getNodeAjaxOptions uses getInflight for matching requests. It preserves response unwrapping, optional caching, caller-specific transformation, and error handling.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

The dedup key was built from the raw config, which meant it could not see
everything that distinguishes one request from another. Distinct
URLSearchParams values all stringified to {}, a custom paramsSerializer
was ignored entirely, and the header configuration of the axios instance
itself never entered the key at all, so an instance built with extra
headers (getApiInstance({'Content-Encoding': 'gzip'}), as
ApplicationStateProvider does) could in principle be handed a response
fetched without them.

The key now comes from api.getUri(), which resolves the URI exactly as
the request will, honouring the instance baseURL, plain-object params,
URLSearchParams and any custom serialiser, with the instance's own header
config and the per-request headers hashed in alongside it. Params are
canonicalised first so that callers passing the same values in a
different order still share, which is what the previous key-sorting
achieved.

Beyond params and headers there is plenty in an axios config we cannot
capture this way, and which changes either what a caller gets back or how
it can be aborted: transformResponse, responseType, validateStatus,
timeout, signal and so on. Rather than let those share silently, a
request carrying anything outside the shareable set now goes straight
through to api.get().

Adds a spec covering the sharing itself, each of the collisions above,
cleanup after success and after failure, and the pass-through path.

getNodeAjaxOptions() in web/pgadmin/browser/static/js/node_ajax.js, the
shared helper behind every AJAX-backed dropdown, cached responses only
once they had resolved, so when many components asked for the same URL
before the first response landed each of them saw an empty cache and
fired its own identical GET. Every column row's Data Type dropdown
mounting at once on a wide table's Columns tab therefore produced one
get_types request per row: around 150 concurrent duplicates on a
150-column table.

Concurrent GETs are now shared in the Axios wrapper. A module-level Map
tracks requests in flight, keyed on the request axios will actually make:
api.getUri() resolves the URI exactly as the request will, honouring the
instance baseURL, plain-object params, URLSearchParams and any custom
paramsSerializer, whilst the instance's own header configuration and the
per-request headers are hashed in alongside it, so an instance built with
extra headers never shares with a plain one. Params are canonicalised
first so that callers passing the same values in a different order still
share. The entry is removed once the request settles, success or failure,
so nothing leaks and later callers fetch fresh data.

Beyond params and headers there is plenty in an axios config that cannot
be captured in a key and that changes either what a caller gets back or
how it can be aborted: transformResponse, responseType, validateStatus,
timeout, signal and so on. Rather than let those share silently, a
request carrying anything outside the shareable set goes straight through
to api.get().

Each caller still runs its own caching and transform on the shared
response, so cached behaviour and response-shape handling are unchanged.

Fixes #10155.

Merged to master as 104d018, squashed into a single commit with you as the author. GitHub won't auto-close the PR because the squash changed the SHA, so I'm closing it manually.

Thanks for this: the diagnosis was spot on, and factoring the sharing into the Axios wrapper rather than into node_ajax.js was the right call. I folded one review fix in on top before merging (15dc523, pushed to your branch first): the dedup key is now built from api.getUri() so that the instance baseURL, plain-object params, URLSearchParams and any custom paramsSerializer all feed into it, with the instance's own header configuration hashed in alongside the per-request headers, and anything in the config beyond params, headers and paramsSerializer now bypasses sharing entirely rather than risk two callers with different responseType or signal receiving the same response. That came with web/regression/javascript/api_instance.spec.js covering the sharing, the collision cases and the cleanup after both success and failure, since there was previously no coverage of this helper at all.

Verified before merging: the new spec passes, the full Jest suite is green at 926 tests across 150 suites, and eslint is clean. The one red CI job on the PR was a macOS runner failing to reach PyPI, unrelated to the change.
