I'm trying to apply a json-patch to a Mongoengine Document.
I'm using these json-patch library: https://github.com/stefankoegl/python-json-patch and mongoengine 0.14.3 with python 3.6.3
This is my actual code:
json_patch = JsonPatch.from_string(jp_string)
document = Document.objects(id=document_id)
json_documents = json.loads(document.as_pymongo().to_json())
json_patched_document = json_patch.apply(json_documents[0])
Document.objects(id=document_id).first().delete()
Document
.from_json(json.dumps(json_patched_document))
.save(force_insert=True)
Is there a better way to save an edited json document?
I've enhanced a little bit the code:
json_patch = JsonPatch.from_string(jp_string)
document = Document.objects(id=document_id)
json_document = json.loads(document.as_pymongo().to_json())
json_patched_document = json_patch.apply(json_documents[0])
Document
.from_json(json.dumps(json_patched_document), created=True)
.save()
but, is there a way to not convert the document to json?
I had slightly similar problem, the part that I dont wanted the complete Document for saving, I just wanted to update fields which are modified/added.
heres the code I tests on below inputs:
