Platform.api.patch

Server-Side Scripting
9

Ok, just to be clear how we did this.

First of all we only use POST type of requests that trigger a server side script. We never PATCH the DB directly. If that is what you’re doing, meaning using the API directly to patch… I would need to test if that works as well.

Second, if you would be OK to do a POST to a server side custom script and inside that server side script you patch what you need to patch it works as I suggested, at least for us.

$.ajax({
type: ‘POST’,

    beforeSend: function(request) {
        request.setRequestHeader('X-DreamFactory-Api-Key', AP_id);
        request.setRequestHeader('X-DreamFactory-Session-Token', UT);
        request.setRequestHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', '*');
    }, 

    url: AP_api + 'UpdateUserDetails?n1=' + variable1+ '&n2=' + variable2 + '&n3=' + variable3,
    dataType: "TEXT", 
    contentType: "JSON",

    success: function(response) {
        console.log(response);
    },

    error: function(xhr, thrownError) { 
        console.log(thrownError); 
    }
});

On the server side we do the patch. Seems a bit of an overkill maybe but since we patch mutliple tables / records this is the easiest
