Question regarding farmOS Client

Wow @symbioquine you've really done a lot of work since I last looked at this repo!

Just a couple questions out of curiosity regarding how you're handling requests to the farmOS server. Last I saw you were using the farmOS.py library and I was curious how that was working... but now I see the custom(?) Drupal RestWS Client! Neat!

Ironically, I just today learned about the geojson api at /farm/areas/geojson. I see you had a work around at one point using this:
areas = farm.session.http_request("farm/areas/geojson").json()
But are you still using this API? It seems like it is "all or nothing" regarding the data it returned.

It sounds like motivation was also because farmOS.py (requests) is blocking. Did that create some headaches when working with the WFS side of things? Once we got in deeper with the aggregator I saw how great it would be if farmOS.py was non blocking... 😄

• I had been looking at requests-async but am just now seeing that is is archived and recommends httpx.
• But twisted looks more than capable as well!! haha
• I've been working with fastAPI quite a bit for the Aggregator which is built with the asyncio starlette toolkit. This has the same maintainers as httpx so I'm a little inclined to use that in the future, although it has a bit more limited support for async right now

Would love to hear your thoughts!
