I am trying to edit a JSON data base of shifts. I am writing in Javascript using react. This is my understanding of the PUT syntax:
const editShift = async (changed, id) => {
const res = await fetch(`http://localhost:5000/shifts/${id}`, {
method: 'PUT',
headers: {
'Content-type': 'application/json'
},
body: JSON.stringify(changed)
})
const data = await res.json()
setShifts([...shifts, data])
}
data.json:
{
"shifts": [
{
"title": "test",
"startDate": "2018-06-25T07:30:00.000Z",
"endDate": "2018-06-25T08:00:00.000Z",
"allDay": false,
"id": 1
},
{
"title": "test2",
"startDate": "2018-06-28T07:30:00.000Z",
"endDate": "2018-06-28T08:00:00.000Z",
"allDay": false,
"id": 2
}
]
}
The result is that the new shift will hold only the fields that have been changed and delete the rest. Any ideas why?

I had to send the whole updated shift into the changed field, with the fields that were not changed. I don’t know why but it works so okay.
