I am building mock restful API to learn better. I am using MongoDB and node.js, and for testing I use postman.
I have a router that sends update request router.patch. In my DB, I have name (string), price (number) and imageProduct (string - I hold the path of the image).
I can update my name and price objects using raw-format on the postman, but I cannot update it with form-data. As I understand, in raw-form, I update the data using the array format. Is there a way to do it in form-data? The purpose of using form-data, I want to upload a new image because I can update the path of productImage, but I cannot upload a new image public folder. How can I handle it?
Example of updating data in raw form
[ {"propName": "name"}, {"value": "test"}]router.patch
router.patch('/:productId', checkAuth, (req, res, next) => {const id = req.params.productId;const updateOps = {};for (const ops of req.body) { updateOps[ops.propName] = ops.value;}Product.updateMany({_id: id}, {$set: updateOps}) .exec() .then(result => { res.status(200).json({ message: 'Product Updated', request: { type: 'GET', url: 'http://localhost:3000/products/'+ id } }); }) .catch(err => { console.log(err); res.status(500).json({ err: err }); });});
