Table.update()
Updates existing object in the object store with given changes
Syntax
table.update(key, changes)
Parameters
key | Primary key |
changes | Object containing the key paths to each property you want to change. |
Return Value
Promise with the number of updated records (1 if an object that match the criteria was found and updated (regardless of whether the update affects the object or not), otherwise 0). A result of 0 indicates that the given key was not found.
Remarks
Similar to SQL UPDATE. The difference between update() and put() is that update() will only apply given changes to the object while put() will replace the entire object. Another difference is that in case key is not found, put() would create a new object while update() wont change anything. The returned Promise will NOT fail if key was not found but resolve with value 0 instead of 1.
Equivalent to Table.where(":id").equals(key).modify(changes);
Sample
db.friends.update(2, {name: "Number 2"}).then(function (updated) {
if (updated)
console.log ("Friend number 2 was renamed to Number 2");
else
console.log ("Nothing was updated - there were no friend with primary key: 2");
});
Note: Be careful with nested object values. If you have an address
field that includes city
, state
, and zipcode
, db.friends.update(2, {address: {zipcode: 12345}})
will replace the entire address
object with {zipcode: 12345}
.
If your intent is to update the zipcode only, use dot notation as follows:
db.friends.update(friendId, {
"address.zipcode": 12345
});
