Usages for fhir_patch_resource functions ?

[sh0umik]

I am using the update functions , It works well but it replaces the old resources doesn’t not update the fields with new value . I am looking for patch update like just updating names or address in the entire resource with the old value ..

Right now I have a whole patient resource with all the data if i try to patch update like this

SELECT fhir_patch_resource('{"resource": {"resourceType": "Patient", "id": "35", "name": [{"given": ["John"], "family": ["Smith"]}]}}'); 

Then I get this error ..

ERROR: TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined DETAIL: plv8_init() LINE 6234: var results = new Array(patches.length), p = 0, plen = patches.length, patch, key; ********** Error **********

Is there any way to do a PATCH update in fhirbase . If not then looking forward for this feature . It would make the CRUD function complete .

That's by FHIR design. patch function is applying json-patch to resource ( http://jsonpatch.com/). ᐧ
