todo day 3 - update todo input changes/removes task name

SOL

Hey

I'm trying to complete the 7 day quick start tutorial.

Completed most of day 3 except right now I'm facing this problem where checking off a task marks it as completed but removes the task name from the db in xano.

can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here

I don't know Xano, but you are sending the completed value as the header. That can't be right. It should probably be in the body

You are using POST, which normally creates a new row item
It should be a PATCH
What is likely happening is that you are technically creating a new item instead of updating the existing item
But since you’re not passing in the other data, it’ll just be empty
A patch update should update only the column you are passing in

Id columns, or specifically Primary Key columns need to be properly declared and be unique to avoid this type of thing.
If that’s the actual issue

Hmm.. interesting

Was just following this tutorial here

seemed to work for @Andreas Møller

But I’ll try it out tho, thanks!

It could be that Xano doesn't do things like other APIs/backends

If it is not that, then we'd need to see the whole API call setup to help more. Hard to tell otherwise

I think that in Xano you can do what you want with PUT/POST/PATCH. It is up to you what you do in the function stack.

@SOL A good place to start are the Xano logs. You can see if the data arrives Xano as expected and what you do there

So Xano itself has to be configured to not overwrite all the data if an Id exists? That doesn't sound like it should work like that by default

I think so. And I think I remember that guys in the WeWeb forum had issues with the Xano behavior

I know you don't use Xano either though so maybe not best people to ask lol
