Raven DB HTTP API - Property Traversal

Question

I am given the following JSON structure:

{
    "document": {
        "sections": {
            "x": {
                "title": "foo"
            },
            "y": {
                "title": "bar"
            }
        }
    }
}

How do I update value of the title property for a given section using the HTTP API?

I would like to provide a path (string) to get to the property.

You should be able to use a scripted patch command, but I ran into a bug while producing an example for you. It works with the bulk_docs interface, but not for a single doc.

Thanks @MattJohnson for logging the bug. ScriptedPatchRequest -- This is an ultimate feature in Raven DB that I missed out completely (probably due to the faint documentation out there and the name). Having IronJS support is AWESOME! It definitely deserves more attention and a cleaner impl as Matt pointed out.

This was fixed in build 2254. You should now be able to issue a single scripted patch like this:

EVAL http://localhost:8080/docs/foos/1

{Script:"this.document.sections.x.title = newTitle;",Values:{"newTitle":"Whatever"}}
