function serializePatch(cache, identifier): object;

Defined in: -private/serialize.ts:126

Serializes changes to a resource for use with PATCH requests.

Only attributes which are changed are serialized. Only relationships which are changed are serialized.

Collection relationships serialize the collection as a whole.

If you would like to serialize updates to a collection more granularly (for instance, as operations) request the diff from the store and serialize as desired:

const relationshipDiffMap = cache.changedRelationships(identifier);

Parameters

cache

Cache

identifier

StableRecordIdentifier

Returns

object

An object with a data property containing the serialized resource patch

data

data: JsonApiResourcePatch;
