Support "PATCH" request method for "updateAttributes" model method/hook

[suryakand]

What type of issue are you creating?

• Bug
• Enhancement

What version of this module are you using?

• 2.0.10 (Stable)

Write other if any:

Please add a description for your issue:

Seem like in loopback's latest version they have implemented "PATCH" method (not PUT) for updating attributes on a model. The generated Angular2 SDK still generated "updateAttributes" method with "PUT" as request method. Please note "PATCH" method implementation may be only specific to Loopback 3.

Thanks,

Hi @suryakand
Happy new year coding :-)
Could you please let me know which method I must use to update a model as doing a replaceById() does not work for me.

King Regards

@PhilippeCorreges have you tried updateAttributes method (if you are using version 3.x)?

@suryakand
thanks for your input.
I have seen this yesterday late evening and just tested it. The method works perfectly.

Thanks

[suryakand]

@PhilippeCorreges glad that it worked for you!

@jonathan-casarrubias I keep needing to manually edit base.service.ts and change updateAttributes from PUT to PATCH

@jonathan-casarrubias Same here. Please advise. Shall we need to manually override put to patch generally ?

I in my component.ts agree on suscribe..

this.modelApi.updateAttributes(this.model.id, this.model).subscribe(
data => {
console.log(data);
},
error => {
console.log(error);
}
);
