Is it possible to partially update rows using sequelize? - mysql

Question

Suppose I have a table like this:
and an array of objects which contains [
{ID: '0', Name: 'Leo', Age: 21, CurrentState: 5},
{ID: '1', Name: 'George', Age: 26, , CurrentState: 6},
{ID: '2', Name: 'Diana', Age: 27, , CurrentState: 4}
].
How can I update the columns ID, Name, Age, and CurrentState without affecting the values of IsAdmin column?
If I run the following code
Table.bulkCreate([
{ID: '0', Name: 'Leo', Age: 21, CurrentState: 5},
{ID: '1', Name: 'George', Age: 26, , CurrentState: 6},
{ID: '2', Name: 'Diana', Age: 27, , CurrentState: 4}
], {
updateOnDuplicate: true
})
All the values of IsAdmin of the updated rows will be set to FALSE, which is its default value.
How can I avoid this problem?

Answer 1

Just passe an array of only the attributes that need to be updated
Table.bulkCreate([
{ID: '0', Name: 'Leo', Age: 21, CurrentState: 5},
{ID: '1', Name: 'George', Age: 26, , CurrentState: 6},
{ID: '2', Name: 'Diana', Age: 27, , CurrentState: 4}
], {
updateOnDuplicate: ['Name','CurrentState']
})
options.updateOnDuplicate
Array
optional
Fields to update if row key already exists (on duplicate key update)? (only supported by mysql). By default, all fields are updated.
