DS#update

The "U" in "CRUD". Update the item of type resourceName and primary key id with attrs and inject the result into the data store. This is useful when you want to update an item that isn't already in the data store, or you don't want to update the item that's in the data store until the adapter operation succeeds. This differs from DS.save which simply saves items in their current state.

With completely default settings, it's probably going to end up making a PUT request to /resource/:id, where resource is the name of the resource and id is the primary key of the item to retrieve, e.g. store.update('user', 1, { foo: 'bar' }). If you're working with the resource directly you can just do User.update(1, { foo: 'bar' }).

update is asynchronous and returns a promise.

Delegates to the update method of whichever adapter is being used and then injects the updated item into the data store.

cacheResponse: false will cause the result to not be injected into the store.

As update delegates to an adapter, the options argument (if you passed one) will also be passed to the adapter's update method, so you can pass options to the adapter as well.

If the result is to be injected into the store, the options argument will also be passed to DS#inject when it is called.

You can call DS#update multiple ways

• DS#update(resourceName, id, attrs[, options])
• Resource#update(id, attrs[, options]) - Where Resource was created by DS#defineResource
• Instance#DSUpdate(attrs[, options]) - Where Instance is an instance of a Resource.

Examples

Document.find(5).then(function (document) {
  document.name; // 'John'

  return Document.update(5, { name: 'Johnny' });
}).then(function (document) {
  document.name; // 'Johnny'
});
