Updating Resources (PATCH)

How to update JSON:API resources using NextDrupal client.

⚠️

The updateResource helper is available in next-drupal ^1.4.0.

If you're working with JSON:API, be mindful to select the option:

on the following path: /admin/config/services/jsonapi on Drupal.

The NextDrupal client ships with a updateResource method for updating JSON:API resources.

  "node--article",
  "a937dd34-5407-4fff-8594-fccaaa5bb72a",

    data: {
      attributes: {
        title: "Title of Article",
      },
    },
  },
  {
    withAuth: // <-- Your auth method here.
  }
)
