How to perform PATCH operation in Firebase APi? - rest

Question

The firebase doc sys this is how it is supposed to be done:
curl -X PATCH -d '{"last":"Jones"}' \
'https://[PROJECT_ID].firebaseio.com/users/jack/name/.json'
But I dont know how to convert this to a rest based request.
TO be clear I need to send a web request from javascript/java, hence I want to know what should be the body , and header and operation type for this request.
Can someone please help?

Answer 1

If you use the documentation for curl, you can figure out what that command line you showed is trying to tell you.
The HTTP method is: PATCH
The request body is: {"last":"Jones"}
The url is: https://[PROJECT_ID].firebaseio.com/users/jack/name/.json
Where PROJECT_ID is the name of your project. That's all there is to it.

You need teh following structure:
HTTP Request:
https://firestore.googleapis.com/v1/projects/*YOUPROJECT_ID*/databases/(default)/documents/users_admin/*DOCUMENT_ID*?**updateMask.fieldPaths=user_name&updateMask.fieldPaths=permisos.Administrador&updateMask.fieldPaths=user_email**
JSON Body (must be exactly the same structure and type as your database):
{
"fields": {
"user_name": { "stringValue": "Test Actualización 2" },
"permisos": {
"mapValue": {
"fields": {
"Administrador": {
"booleanValue": true
}
}
}
},
"user_email": { "stringValue": "veviboj548#eyeremind.com" }
}
}
