Node.js - api.route.patch()

Register a handler for HTTP PATCH requests to the route.

import { api } from '@nitric/sdk';

const PARAM_ID = 'customerId';

const customerRoute = api('public').route(`/customers/:${PARAM_ID}`);

customerRoute.patch((ctx) => {
  // construct response for the PATCH: /customers/:customerId request...
  const responseBody = {};
  ctx.res.json(responseBody);
});

Parameters

middleware required HttpMiddleware | HttpMiddleware[]

One or more middleware functions to use as the handler for HTTP requests. Handlers can be sync or async

opts optional object

Additional options when creating method.

Examples

Register a handler for PATCH requests

import { api } from '@nitric/sdk';

const PARAM_ID = 'customerId';

const customerRoute = api('public').route(`/customers/:${PARAM_ID}`);

customerRoute.patch((ctx) => {
  const id = ctx.req.params[PARAM_ID];
  // handle the PATCH request...
  const responseBody = {};
  ctx.res.json(responseBody);
});

Chain functions as a single method handler

When multiple functions are provided they will be called as a chain. If one succeeds, it will move on to the next. This allows middleware to be composed into more complex handlers.

import { api } from '@nitric/sdk';
import { validate } from '../middleware';

const PARAM_ID = 'customerId';

const patchCustomer = (ctx) => {
  const id = ctx.req.params[PARAM_ID];
  // handle the PATCH request...
  const responseBody = {};
  ctx.res.json(responseBody);
};

const customerRoute = api('public').route(`/customers/:${PARAM_ID}`);

customerRoute.patch([validate, patchCustomer]);

Access the request body

The PATCH request body is accessible from the ctx.req object.

import { api } from '@nitric/sdk';

const PARAM_ID = 'customerId';

const customerRoute = api('public').route(`/customers/:${PARAM_ID}`);

customerRoute.patch((ctx) => {
  const customerData = ctx.req.data;
  // parse, validate and store the request payload...
});
