Lab 19: HTTP PUT

Objectives

Communicate with a REST API to update data

Steps

Communicate with a REST API to update data

Implement a method in the API object to do a PUT (update).
src\projects\projectAPI.js
...

const projectAPI = {
...

+ put(project) {
+ return fetch(`${url}/${project.id}`, {
+ method: 'PUT',
+ body: JSON.stringify(project),
+ headers: {
+ 'Content-Type': 'application/json'
+ }
+ })
+ .then(checkStatus)
+ .then(parseJSON)
+ .catch((error) => {
+ console.log('log client error ' + error);
+ throw new Error(
+ 'There was an error updating the project. Please try again.'
+ );
+ });
+ },
};
Invoke the method in your container (ProjectsPage) component.
src\projects\ProjectsPage.js
+ import { Project } from './Project';
...
function ProjectsPage() {
...
const saveProject = (project) => {
- let updatedProjects = projects.map((p) => {
- return p.id === project.id ? project : p;
- });
- setProjects(updatedProjects);
+ projectAPI
+ .put(project)
+ .then((updatedProject) => {
+ let updatedProjects = projects.map((p) => {
+ return p.id === project.id ? new Project(updatedProject) : p;
+ });
+ setProjects(updatedProjects);
+ })
+ .catch((e) => {
+ setError(e.message);
+ });
};
return (
...
);
}

export default ProjectsPage;
Verify the application is working by following these steps.
1. Click the edit button for a project.
2. Change the project name in the form.
3. Click the save button on the form.
4. Verify the card shows the updated data.
5. Refresh your browser.
