Update database using Sequelize for existing field given in request Node.Js

Question

How to update our model only for existing field given by client to our API?

Example:

User.update({‘name’: ‘value_1’, {‘email’: ‘value_2’,}.then().catch()

I want to automatically update my User model based on what my client give when Requesting my API (if they only provide name , then my Model only update the name field without updating the email field). Is there any best practice for doing that?

Answer 1

You can get the user you are working with, assign the received parameters and save the user

For example:

const user = await User.findByPk(id);
Object.assign(user, params);
await user.save();
