Changing items in a list generated from an API call
Hello , I would need advices on how to proceed for the following , please : I generated a List from an API call . I would like to be able to switch a boolean or to change the value of a field of some items , and to click a Save button . But , since the list items are generated from an Array I got from an API call , how can I set the different new values ? To summarize : I want the list to be filled with data coming from the API call response array , I want to be able to change some values , and then to update data , calling another endpoint (I didn 't build the endpoint yet ) . How can this type of use -case can be achieved ? Thanks Hey ! If you ’re looking to update certain items , I ’d recommend storing that in a variable and then calling a POST request to your API to update the item . It may be one at a time or multiple (depends on how you want to handle it ) , so you ’d like likely need to store updates as an object or array of objects in your variable or construct one prior to your POST request . Does that make sense ? To add , your update (PATCH /POST /UPSERT ) API call should have documentation outlining the body structure you need to send back and I ’d imagine id or some other unique identifier will be required to update the correct record /s . If your list is repeated based on the API results , you should easily be able to get the repeat item ’s values required to save in a variable in order to send back in the body when doing an update . Shout out if you need more pointers . Hey @Tom Ireland ! Thanks a lot ! I did the way you instructed and I followed the « Todo » list tutorial of Andreas , and I managed to make it work by calling the endpoint everytime I select the checkbox or when I click a new ok button . But I ’m still wondering how I could make multiple changes in the list and update all at once when I click a final Save button . But anyway , it ’s already perfect like this . I will play with it to see if can make it better . Thanks again ! ! 💪1Amazing ! Nice work . The way you ’re doing it sounds good as it provides an instant update , so sounds optimal . For the save option , assuming you have an object that you send for each individual item , you could just append those objects to an array , so have a variable that is an empty array and then on your specific UI event , append the object to the array . Either Supabase or Xano support multiple record updates via API , so you would just send the whole array of objects when hitting save and then clear it on success . 🤩1@Tom Ireland yes you ’re right , I just found that we have a lot of nice functions to handle json and arrays , just great ! I will try and build an array from all events that occur and I will send them to a Make scenario 😁 😁 , as I ’m testing all kind of interactions between Toddle and Make 😎 Thanks again for all your valuable help ! !
