I've implemented tree structure and want to save items to database. Every item has "children" field with list of child nodes.
But if I send PUT request with something like this:
https://localhost:9001/ws410/rest/pdsfamilies/8796093098749
{
"children": [
{
"pk": "8796093164285"
}
]
}
I'm getting response 200 OK but of course "children" list doesn't update. If I pull the item using GET again, it doesn't contain that change.
What am I doing wrong?
The solution was weird nested object structure like this:
{
"children": {
"pdsFamily" : [
{
"pk": "8796093164285"
}
]
}
I don't know why another property pdsFamily was needed.
Also another weird thing is that in the response from GET I'm getting similar structure but the property is all lowercase pdsfamily... I have to create separate dtos for response and request just because of that...

I am working on GraphQL mutation and need help here. My document looks like
{
"_id" : ObjectId("5bc02db357146d0c385d4988"),
"item_type" : "CategoryMapping",
"id" : null,
"CategoryGroupName" : "Mystries & Thriller",
"CustomCategory" : [
{
"name" : "Private Investigator",
"MappedBisacs" : [
"investigator",
"Privately owned",
"Secret"
]
},
{
"name" : "Crime Investigator",
"MappedBisacs" : [
"crime investigator",
"crime thriller"
]
}
]
}
UI
Allow user to update MappedBisacs through list of checkbox. So user can add/update or delete list of bisacs.
Problem - When client send GraphQL query like following;
mutation {
CategoryMapping_add(input: {CategoryGroupName: "Mystries & Thriller", CustomCategory: [{name: "Crime Investigator", MappedBisacs: ["investigator", "dafdfdaf", "dafsdf"]}]}) {
clientMutationId
}
}
I need to find Specific custom category and update its bisac array.
I am not sure if I got it, but this more a doubt on MongoDb than on GraphQL itself. First you must find the document that you want (I would use the id of the document instead of CategoryGroupName), then you can update this array in several ways. For example, after you found the document, you could simply access the array content and spread into a new one adding this new data from your mutation, and save this object with the update method. (if you simply want to add new data without removing any)
So, it depends on the case.
Check: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/update-array/
Hope it helps! :)
I'm looking for a way to add/remove data from an ArrayValue field, via the Firestore REST API.
I'm able to send the following PATCH request, to set all values of an array fields in a document, via the following:
Request Url
/v1beta1/projects/MY_APP/databases/(default)/documents/MY_COLLECTION/MY_DOCUMENT_ID?updateMask.fieldPaths=document_array&key=MY_KEY
Request Body
{
"fields" : {
"document_array" : {
"arrayValue" : {
"values" : [
{ "stringValue" : "item_value_0" },
{ "stringValue" : "item_value_1" }
]
}
}
}
}
As expected, the document with id MY_DOCUMENT_ID in collection MY_COLLECTION updates so that the document_array field is populated with strings:
['item_value_0', 'item_value_1'].
Using the REST APIs PATCH method, I would like to add/remove/update/manipulate ArrayValue fields in my document MY_DOCUMENT_ID (ie as outlined in this question).
Is this possible? If so, how?
Thanks in advance
It's not possible today. You could file a feature request stating what you want (it's been asked before).
Dolibarr has a module for restful APIs.
The API explorer seems to show all the CRUD tasks for each module like orders, stock and customer.
But to CREATE a record, the sample VALUE for the POST method shows as:
{
"request_data": [
"string"
]
}
What are the specific field attributes that should go in here?
Where can I look up the field requirements?
You should take a look at the attributes of the Commande class:
https://github.com/Dolibarr/dolibarr/blob/develop/htdocs/commande/class/commande.class.php
The object should be something like this :
{
"date_commande" : "0000-00-00 00:00:00",
"date_livraison" : "0000-00-00 00:00:00",
"attribute3": "and so on"
}
When you need a parameter like
{ "request_data": [ "string" ] } for a POST API, all you have to do is to call the similar API to get a record (so the same API with the GET method). The result can be cut and paste to be used to create a new record (just change the id and ref in the answer retreived by the GET).
I'm putting together a REST based API but I'm not sure on how I should deliver the response for collections vs individual resources.
Does it make sense to have a slimmed down representation for a collection over a single item in the world of REST?
Say I have something along the lines of this for a collection of albums:
{
items: [
{
"id": 1,
"title": "Thriller"
},
...
]
}
But then for the actual individual item I had
{
"id": 1,
"title": "Thriller",
"artist": "Michael Jackson",
"released": "1982",
"imageLinks": {
"smallThumbnail": "...",
"largeThumbnail": "..."
}
...
}
A resource representation should be unique irrespective of whether it is given as a collection or a single item. But, you can introduce a new parameter like fields which can be used by the clients to get only the required field thereby optimising the bandwidth.
/albums - This should give the list of objects each having the structure of what you would give in a individual item api
/albums?fields=id,title - This can give the list of objects with just the id & title.
I am trying to write a REST Api using CakePHP 3.
I have two tables Documents and DocumentImages, when I send POST request with body:
{
"description": "Short Desc.",
"company_id": 2,
"department_id": 3,
"status": 0,
"document_images":[
{
"base64" : "xyz"
},
{
"base64" : "abc"
}
]
}
It saves both to Documents and DocumentImages and makes the document_id of images as it must be.
Now, I need to do something after saving the document and before saving the images, however beforeSave function in images never be called, so it saves both of the entities in DocumentsController.
What can I do for catch the event after the document saved but before the images save?
By the way, if anyone suggest a solution using CRUD I will be very appreciate.
