I have user object structured like this:
{
"id": "",
"username": "",
"name": "",
"bio": "",
"email": "",
"profileImg": "",
"phoneNumber": 0,
"messagingPoints": 0,
"funds": 0,
"inventoryId": "",
"lastLogin": "2022-02-23T03:27:13.535Z",
"isPrivate": false,
"messagesReceived": []
}
I want to be able to reach a patch endpoint to update any of these fields. For example, /api/user?id=userId&name=John, should be able to grab the field "name" and set it to John. /api/user/id=?id=userId&email=abc@gmail.com should grab the email field and set it to abc@gmail.com
I am struggling to find docs for MongoDB to accomplish this, so I'm wondering if it is not possible? Do I need a specific endpoint for each of these update operations (ex: /api/user/name?id=userId&value=John instead of /api/user?id=userId&name=John)?
If it is possible, how could I accomplish this? Thanks!
You can pass user ID in update filter. Also you can pass data in request body of the PUT request instead of query parameters.
app.put('/api/user', async (req, res) => {
const { id, ...data } = req.body;
// Filter out any invalid fields
// Update documents where id field is equal to value of id in request body
await collection.updateOne(
{ id },
{ $set: data }
);
return res.json({ data: "User updated" })
})
