I want to create a PATCH method for my API but there is something I don’t understand. Imagine I have the following document in my MongoDB
database:
{
_id : ObjectId(1234...),
name : "bob",
age : 30
}
Now I would like to update this document but I don’t know what keys
my API will receive. So imagine I make a request
in order to change the age
but also add a last_name
.
The request result would be like this:
{
_id : ObjectId(1234...),
name : "bob",
last_name : "smith",
age : 44
}
The main problem here is that I don’t know the arguments I will receive.
My goal is to update the values of the existing keys and add the keys that are not in the document.
Any idea?
