How do you update an array value in JSON

Question

JSON Data:

{
  "role": [ "Jungle", "Mid" ],
  "total_wins": 0
}

This is the request I'm using, using npm request.

   request({
          uri: uri, 
          method: "PATCH", 
          json: {
            "total_wins": 1, 
            "role": ["Support", "Top"]
          }
   });

output:

{
  "role": [ "Jungle", "Mid" ],
  "total_wins": 1
}

expected:

{
  "role": [ "Support", "Top" ],
  "total_wins": 1
}

I'm not sure whats happening, the PATCH request produces no errors, but it doesn't change any data for role, yet it changes the total_wins to 1.

Are you sending this with a content-type of application/json? In that case it's entirely undefined what happens (application/json is not defined for PATCH). — Julian Reschke, Apr 22 '17 at 04:05
what are you saying the solution should be then? ._. cause I don't know what application/json is. im using node.js — Eric Chu, Apr 22 '17 at 04:15
check your controller and params, did it permit role?, also you can share your controller in the questions — buncis, Apr 22 '17 at 07:28
@icemelt omg... youre a genius i forgot to let my controller accept arrays. I haven't used rails in a while and forgot thats a thing — Eric Chu, Apr 22 '17 at 13:59
