UpdatinG User with JSON-PATCH method

[duke]

Hey, we are using User API to update user PerferredLanguage. Currently we have two languages and we want to change email template based on that user language.

We want to have just one language at any given time so want to update the User PerferredLanguage using Json-patch method.

User{
 PerferredLanguage: [ "English"]
}

when using json-patch https://fusionauth.io/docs/v1/tech/apis/#the-patch-http-method it seems like am not getting the path right. Looking at the example provide i cant why the request body from the example become

[
  {
    "op": "remove",
    "path": "/roleIds/1"
  }
]

How do we resolve to the path to become "path": "/roleIds/1" ?
or in my case, how would the body be ?

Thanks

@dan It was abit confusing because looking at the original body of the group, there was no parameter/ field called roleIds but it was used in the request.

To update the User we used this.

// To remove language
 let body = vec![Testing {
        op: "remove".to_string(),
        path: "/user/preferredLanguages/0".to_string()
    }];

Hiya,

I would have to play around with this for a while, but we've found this online tool to be useful when trying to figure out how to take one JSON document and transform it to another:

Sounds good, thanks for sharing.

I think groups were one of the first APIs and so have some quirks. Glad you figured it out.
